Using reversible condensation reactions, it is possible to obtain macrocycles, cages, dendritic structures, and rotaxanes, as well as 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional polymers in one-pot reactions from simple starting materials. This perspective highlights important recent developments in this area.Covalent-Organic FrameworksSolid-State ReactionsArylboronic AcidsHydrogen StorageSupramolecular PolymersCoordination PolymersReticular SynthesisPhenylboronic AcidMacrocyclesReceptorsBoronic Acids as Building Blocks for Molecular Nanostructures and Polymeric Materialstext::journal::journal article::research article
