Chemical signals turn on guest binding through structural reconfiguration of triangular helicates
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Be my guest: The function of a system based on self-assembled Zn(II) complexes can be controlled by external chemical stimuli. The complexes are based on a C3 -symmetric ligand that forms a unique triangular triple helicate structure 1. Upon subcomponent substitution, 1 is able to transform into a triangular double helicate 2 which, unlike 1, can encapsulate guests.
