In 2017, the Boekhoven Lab described the first example of a carbodiimide-fueled reaction cycle that we used to regulate molecular self-assembly (1). Practically simultaneously, the group of Scott Hartley published work using the same reaction cycle.(2)
The reaction cycles are versatile—it can regulate the supramolecular behavior of many different carboxylates.
It is simple—most laboratories have the needed ingredients: MES buffer, EDC, and a carboxylic acid.
As a result, the carbodiimide-driven reaction cycle and variations of it have been used by many other research teams worldwide to regulate self-assembly, phase separation, ratchets, motors, and many other supramolecular systems. Below, we curate a database with all the work using the carbodiimide-fueled reaction cycle and variations of it.
Feel free to contact us, if there is work missing.
