3/3

Thanks again for the engagement! :)

p.s.: I take advantage of this post to tell you as a former coordination chemist that I really enjoyed your study on the 21 e- Co species!

photoisomerisation (i.e. no thermal equilibrium) and form diastereomeric intermediates upon substrate coordination.
In the end it all comes down to finding diastereomeric intermediates with markedly different photophysical parameters (easier said than done), but in theory it could work.

Hi Satoshi, thanks for your interest in our work!

Incorporating chiral diazene photoswitches/motors in ligand systems is definitely one of our future goals.

Ideally, what I see as a viabile option would be having photo-axially chiral catalysts that can interconvert just through

Thank you Larissa!! 😊

Fully Made in Italy 🇮🇹 @unibo.it by a terrific team combining expertise in synthesis (Nicoli, Borghi, Curcio), spectroscopy (Taticchi, Silvi, Credi, Baroncini) and simulations (Lorini, Aleotti, Garavelli, Muccioli)

Congratulations Larissa!! Best wishes to the newest member of the group 🥰

After #Rotaxane and #Catenane, the first example of mechanically interlocked #Pretzelane! 🥨🔗🥨

Thanks Dave!
