Low Symmetry Face‐Capped Fe(II) Tetrahedra Through Anisotropic Ligand Extension
Low symmetry cages are attractive metallo-supramolecular targets, as they may possess different characteristics to their higher symmetry analogues. There are no current generalisable routes for the f...

Crystals can’t bend – or can they? New research sheds light on elusive ‘flexible crystals’
Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic materials work.

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...
