Fantastic first work by former group member Youzhi Xu-徐尤智 at Henan U!👇 It is hard enough to make a hetero[3]catenane. They did it in 35% yield via "ring-in-ring synthesis" from two commercial macrocycles😮!!! We were very happy to help with MS-MS studies. x.com/xu_youzhi/stat…

Just in time for Halloween💀☠️ skeletal editing of rotaxanes! Maxime Gauthier, Jess & Dan use Mark Levin’s N-deletion reagent to remove template site of dibenzylammonium rotaxanes enabling synthesis of otherwise inaccessible structures.Out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Following our first report of Oligoproline metal-peptidic cage tinyurl.com/y5axtzks, we're delighted that our next preprint is online at tinyurl.com/3w2snwum - we find that installing an additional metal binding site transforms isomer selectivity, with unexpected results

Nice water soluble cages

Great to see our research group taking shape with Martha, Zac and Willow (left to right) taking the plunge and joining me for what I hope will be some fun chemistry. More about the group on our website: borslab.net/meet-the-group…

Glad to see our flexible Zn4L4 cage published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. . This project was a collaborative effort across three institutions, with solid support from colleagues at #Sichuan Uinversity, Clever Clever Lab and Nitschke Cambridge Chemistry groups.

Finally out in Nature Communications With a bulky acac ligand, we have realized the Ni(II)-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with a diverse range of native functional groups as the directing group. Check out: rdcu.be/d1RZD

If you haven’t read Dave Leigh group piece on molecular editing of rotaxanes yet (surl.li/nyivhc), perhaps our highlight (surl.li/cbtjhf ) in ChemPlusChem - written with Jędrzej Perdek and Rafał Grzelczak - will encourage you to check it out. If ‘molecular

With a bulky acac-type ligand (Amacac), Ni(II)-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of alkenyl alcohols has been realized using alcohol as the native DG. The final version of this manuscript out in Chem Catalysis Congrats to Li-Qin. Check out: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out how we made a minuscule motor rotate 24 times in one direction on its own! Huge thanks to all involved, especially Dave Leigh for making this work possible ACS Publications Huakui Liu Axel Troncossi Stefan Borsley Ben Roberts 🇪🇺 Alex Betts pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

An incredible honor to receive award! Thank you so much to the committee, friends, collaborators and Supramolecular Chemistry for recognizing my work. Thrilled to share this achievement with my friend Qing He. Look forward to meeting you all in ISMSC2025, Kyoto
