Spatiotemporal Control of the Formation of Luminescent Lanthanide Complexes in Liposome‐Based Nanoreactors Synthetic ion transporters enable precise control over carboxylate transport across liposome membranes that are preloaded with Ln3+ ions. This process triggers the spatiotemporal formation of lumines...

Controlling the transmembrane transport of chloride by dynamic covalent chemistry with azines Stimuli-responsive transmembrane ion transport has become a prominent area of research due to its fundamental importance in cellular processes and potential therapeutic applications. Commonly used stimuli include pH, light, and reduction or oxidation agents. This paper presents the use of dynamic covalent ch
