Abstract

We recently reported photoresponsive, dissipative, and dynamic covalent macrocycles that use visible-light photoswitching. Several other exciting contributions involving the use of metal–organic and metal-free supramolecular assemblies have been published back-to-back; here, we have a closer look at these contributions, together with an in-depth insight into our macrocyclic system.
