🧵(3/4)💡White light drives photoswitchable Pd(II) capsules away from equilibrium through a molecular ratchet⚙️, selectively accumulating an out-of-equilibrium structure. We elucidated this mechanism kinetically📉and thermodynamically📈 using quantum chemistry-based calculations.💻

(3/3) Since then, the group has expanded and evolved, but Max has played a crucial role in shaping daily lab life and research activities. It has truly been a privilege to be part of your #PhDjourney, Max. I could not have imagined a better student to start my group.🥹

(2/3) A big thank you to the entire committee & reviewers — Arne Lützen, Thomas Bredow, Gregor Hagelücken, and @medbioinorgchem.bsky.social. This holds special meaning for me because Max was the first student to join our newly established junior research group at @unibonn.bsky.social.

(4/4) Crucially, the Zn-helicate can #regioselectively exchange one Zn(II) for Fe(II), forming a Zn-Fe helicate. This process is significantly accelerated by #LightIrradiation via the #MolecularRatchet mechanism, reminiscent of the operation of a claw machine. #photoswitches #SystemsChemistry

Larissa von Krbek @vkrbek.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

(3/4)💡Furthermore, #photoswitching of the helicates operates via a #MolecularRatchet mechanism, which autonomously operates under continuous white light irradiation. This results in the accumulation of a specific #out-of-equilibrium pseudo-mesocate structure #switches #molswitches #SystemsChemistry

(2/4) Homometallic helicates form with Fe(II), Zn(II), and Co(II). We demonstrate highly selective #heterobimetallic #self-sorting of Zn(II) and Fe(II), as well as Zn(II) and Co(II), within the helicates, despite both metal centres being octahedrally coordinated.
