Cage effect (chemistry) — The cage effect in chemistry describes how properties of a molecule are affected by its surroundings.* In a solvent a molecule is often more accurately described existing in a cage of solvent molecules, the so called solvent cage. * In a gas at… … Wikipedia
Intercalation (chemistry) — Intercalation induces structural distortions. Left: unchanged DNA strand. Right: DNA strand intercalated at three locations (red areas). In chemistry, intercalation is the reversible inclusion of a molecule (or group) between two other molecules… … Wikipedia
Matrix isolation — Diagram representing a triangular, guest species (in red) isolated in solid host matrix (in blue). Matrix isolation is an experimental technique used in chemistry and physics which generally involves a material being trapped within an unreactive… … Wikipedia
Molecular switch — A molecular switch is a molecule that can be reversibly shifted between two or more stable states.[1] The molecules may be shifted between the states in response to changes in e.g. pH, light, temperature, an electrical current, microenvironment,… … Wikipedia
Calixarene — A calixarene is a macrocycle or cyclic oligomer based on a hydroxyalkylation product of a phenol and an aldehyde [1] . The word calixarene is derived from calix or chalice because this type of molecule resembles a vase and from the word arene… … Wikipedia
