Inside Cover: Supramolecular Enhancement of Charge Transport through Pillar[5]arene‐Based Self‐Assembled Monolayers (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 19/2023)

Abstract

Non-covalent interaction modulation is a promising strategy to guide the design of applicable (supra)molecular electronics. A rare investigation of the relationship between host-guest interaction and supramolecular charge transport is reported by Xiaobing Li, Siyuan Zhou, Cunlan Guo, Shigui Chen, and co-workers in their Research Article (<url href=“https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202216987”>e202216987). The current density through the pillar[5]arenes-based self-assembled monolayers can be raised up to ∼2.1 orders of magnitude after the introduction of cationic guest molecules, providing a new route for the design of molecular electronic devices and functional sensors with tunable electronic components.
