Abstract
In the paper the introduction pointing out the important role of viologens is followed by two chapters concerning rotaxanes with a thread incorporating viologens, and those with a ring built from viologens. In the next two chapters dendrimers containing viologens as a core and those with viologens localized in their apical positions are presented. The fifth chapter deals with cucurbiturils and calixarenes noncovalently bonding viologen units. The final chapter shows other viologen containing compounds; it mainly concerns assemblies of their nanostructured films.
Keywords: rotaxanes, cycloheptatriene, dendrimers, tetrathiafulvalene, electrochemical redox sensing

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
