Very happy to share our team's work on the post-assembly modification of Pt(II) #metallacages. It wasn't easy, but I think this is a stepping stone for the development of real-world applications of metallacages. I hope you like it and stay tuned for the journal version!!

Spotlight on Mechanosterics: A Bulky Macrocycle Promotes Functional Group Reactivity in a [2]Rotaxane
Macrocycles typically hinder the reactivity of adjacent functional groups in mechanically interlocked molecules due to steric shielding. Herein, we report a [2]rotaxane in which a bulky macrocycle in ...
