| Abstract: | Proton, all that matters! This Focus Review surveys representative examples of pH‐controllable supramolecular systems with interesting features and state‐of‐the‐art applications, which can lead to the construction of meaningful molecular machines for electronic and biological applications that can be controlled by simple perturbation with acid and base.  |
