Great time with doctoral students at the first #DosChem retreat of @univie.ac.at with all pillars (160+ people) at Rust.
Well done @costaszois.bsky.social for your great talk about #photocatalysis with #rotaxanes ! @catalight.bsky.social

🧩 Sterically controlled, template-assisted macrocyclization enables hemisquaraine #rotaxanes with enhanced #fluorescence and stability.

By combining #SupramolecularChemistry, photophysics, and DFT, this study reveals how steric effects control rotaxane formation.

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 ...

Thrilled to share our new @J_A_C_S paper: A bulky macrocycle enhances (not hinders!) functional group reactivity in a [2]‑rotaxane. Including definition and rationalization of this positive mechanosteric effect.

Characterizing X-Ray and Solution State Conformations for a Model Qubit System: {Cr7Ni} Ring Rotaxanes on a Mixed Metal Triangle The synthesis of a series of [4]rotaxanes, each consisting of three [2]rotaxanes joined via a central {CrNi2} triangular linker, is reported. The resultant four [4]rotaxanes were characterized by sing...

Great to see the @NobelPrize awarded in supramolecular chemistry. Finally #rotaxanes will enter the public consciousness!
