Without letting the existing structure unravel, a new method edits a complex supramolecular structure - selectively removes nitrogens from rotaxanes and forms a stabilising carbon-carbon bond. chemistryworld.com/news/skeletal-…

Skeletal editing is making waves! Chemistry World highlights the Mark Levin lab's technique that removes nitrogen from rotaxanes, with researchers at the University of Manchester already seeing success in creating unique molecular structures - chemistryworld.com/news/skeletal-… @LevinChem
