The use of aminals in dynamic covalent chemistry is slightly underexplored, probably due to their inherent instability. Here we report the spontaneous [2+2] macrocyclization of tetrakis(aminals). Their unexpected stability and structural modularity, the dynamic nature of the connections and their water tolerance make them appealing systems for future applications as stimulus-responsive materials.

Gadolinium Elimination in a Gadolinium Deposition Disease Population After a Single Exposure to Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents.
Invest Radiol
December 2024
From the Department of Neuroradiology, Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal (J.R.); Department of Radiology, Hospital da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal (M.R.); and Richard Semelka Consulting, PLLC, Chapel Hill, NC (R.C.S.).
Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how gadolinium (Gd) levels in urine change over time after patients receive a Gd-based contrast agent (GBCA) for MRI, particularly focusing on those with Gd deposition disease.
- - It involved 45 subjects with normal kidney function, who underwent urine tests to measure Gd concentration 24 hours after receiving a GBCA, and the results indicated that Gd levels remained above normal for 3 months.
- - The findings suggest that Gd is retained in the body and is eliminated through urine in a predictable logarithmic pattern, regardless of the type of GBCA used, with significant levels observed at 1 month and a gradual decline over the following months.
Single-Molecule Resolved Conformational and Orbital Symmetry Breaking in Tetraphenylethylene-Based Macrocycles.

Article Synopsis
- Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) is an important molecule known for its unique light-emitting properties when aggregated.
- This study examines the structures and electronic characteristics of two TPE-based macrocycles, revealing that their symmetrical arrangements change spontaneously at the molecular level.
- The changes in symmetry are affected by the balance between the extended conjugation of their chemical parts and the flexibility of their shapes, which has implications for their light-emitting features.

Recently, supramolecular self-assembly has attracted the attention of researchers worldwide because it enables the creation of nanostructures with unique properties without additional costs. Spontaneous organization of molecules allows the design and development of new nanostructures that can interact with drugs and living cells and generate a response. Therefore, supramolecular structures have enormous potential and can be in demand in various fields of healthcare and ecology.

Article Synopsis
- A supramolecular method was used to create nanoparticles by combining sodium carboxymethylcellulose and viologen calix[4]resorcinol in water at room temperature, driven by self-assembly.
- The properties of the nanoparticles varied based on the ratio of polymer to macrocycle, with excess macrocycle enabling binding of oleic acid and excess polymer allowing for doxorubicin binding.
- The nanoparticles showed enhanced solubilization of quercetin and better delivery into tumor cells compared to simpler compositions, paving the way for advancements in drug delivery systems.

A confined space preorganizes substrates, which substantially changes their chemical reactivity and selectivity; however, the performance as a reaction vessel is hampered by insensitivity to environmental changes. Here, we show a dynamic confined space formed by substrate grasping of an amphiphilic host with branched aromatic arms as an active molecular gripper capable of performing substrate grasping, macrocyclization, and product release acting as a macrocycle synthesizer. The confined reaction space is formed by the substrate grasping of the molecular gripper, which is further stabilized by gel formation.
