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:

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
Self-assembly, interlocking, interconversion and anion-binding catalysis in phenoxazine-based Pd2L4 and Pd4L8 coordination cages - Nature Communications
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.

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
