Depending on cage topology, a flexible ligand can bury or expose its reactive site: @angewandtechemie.bsky.social, Aleks, Zhiwei, and Priscila created a multi-stimuli responsive network from adaptive benzil-based Pd(II) #cages @solvationsci.bsky.social @grk2376.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Read now in Chem @cellpress.bsky.social how @eliebenchimol.bsky.social uses adjacent backbone interactions (ABI) to control self-sorting of chiral heteroleptic Pd3A2B4 isosceles triangles („star destroyers“) and Pd4A4C4 pseudo-tetrahedra: doi.org/10.1016/j.ch... @grk2376.bsky.social

Now online as 🌶️ Hot Paper 📄 in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social: see how we combine Pd(II) and Pt(II) nodes with dynamic covalent chemistry to assemble highly robust interpenetrated double cages capable of abstracting halides from organic substrates: doi.org/10.1002/anie... @solvationsci.bsky.social

Finally, @cleverlab.bsky.social explore the mechanism of interpenetration of Pd2L4 coordination cages mediated by changes in solvation. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 5/5

While Pd2L4-type coordination cages tend to form interlocked dimers, isolation and characterization of both the cage and its interlocked dimer is very challenging. Herein, the authors report the synth...

Last Wednesday I had the honor of receiving the @solvationsci.bsky.social PhD award from the hands of Dr. Klaus Engel during the new year's reception of RESOLV at the TU Dortmund. It rewards my contribution on studying solvation effects on caged with @cleverlab.bsky.social 🧑‍🔬🕺🏻🙏🏻

Happy to see the 2nd chapter of my thesis work with @cleverlab.bsky.social out in JACS. We show how a multicage system can be used to segregate multiple guests. #justaccepted pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

We found a new catenation mode of Pd4L8 interpenetrated double cages: instead of a classic D4-symmetric dimer, the staggered structure has C2h symmetry, stabilized by non-covalent interactions. Just out in @angew_chem Support: RESOLV @SolvationSci @desy doi.org/10.1002/anie...
