Research progress of self-organized reaction networks for cascade reactions

The concept of "reaction network" represents a system that is constructed from reactions between different organic units basing on logical transformation relationships. This network is refined through multiple parallel cascade reaction sequences, showcasing attributes such as "self-direction, self-sorting, convergence and normalization". The ability of synthesizing tissues within molecular systems is a key aspect that could serve as a valuable tool for the rational design of new reactions. In this paper, we summarized our research work on self- organized reaction network in the past two decades from three aspects: self-sorting convergent integration reaction network, self-labor convergent integration reaction network and complex integration reaction network.
