	abstract = {<p>This review aims to deliver a detailed and comparative account of the reported examples of anion (halide and oxyanions) coordinated capsules and pseudocapsules of tripodal receptors that employ hydrogen bonds and/or electrostatic hydrogen bonds offered by specific binding sites from amide, urea and thiourea functionalities. The review discusses both the structural aspects of anion binding and solution-state anion binding affinities of N-bridged and aryl-bridged tripodal receptors. Discussions relating to selective anion recognition and separation, carbondioxide uptake, and transmembrane anion transport, as demonstrated by some of these tripodal receptors have also been included in this review.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The helical handedness in achiral self-assemblies is mostly complex due to spontaneous symmetry breaking or kinetically controlled random assembly formation. Here an attempt has been made to address this issue through chiral anion exchange. A new class of cationic achiral C-3-symmetric gelator devoid of any conventional gelation assisting functional units is found to form both right-and left-handed helical structures. A chiral counteranion exchange-assisted approach is successfully introduced to control the chirality sign and thereby to obtain preferred homochiral assemblies. Formation of anion-assisted chiral assembly was confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, microscopic images, and crystal structure. The X-ray crystal structure reveals the construction of helical assemblies with opposite handedness for (+)- and (-)-chiral anion reformed gelators. The appropriate counteranion driven ion-pair-assisted hydrogen-bonding interactions are found responsible for the helical bias control in this C-3-symmetric gelator.</p>},

	abstract = {The development of nanoparticle-polymer-hybrid-based heterogeneous catalysts with high reactivity and good recyclability is highly desired for their applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries: Herein, we have developed a novel synthetic strategy by choosing a predesigned metal-anchored building block for in situ generation of metal (Pd) nanoparticles in the stable, porous, and crystalline covalent organic framework (COF), without using conventional reducing agents. In situ generation of Pd nanoparticles in the COF Skeleton is explicitly confirmed{\textquoteright} from PXRD, XPS, TEM images, and N-15 NMR spectral analysis. This hybrid material is found to be an excellent reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically important 2-substituted benzofurans from 2-bromophencils and terminal alkynes via a tandem process with the turnover number up to 1101. The heterogeneity of the catalytic process is unambiguously verified by a mercury poisoning experiment and leaching test. This hybrid material shows superior catalytic performance compared to commercially available homogeneous as well as heterogeneous Pd catalysts.},
