Science lacks diversity, and this is intersectional. The international Women in Supramolecular Chemistry network believes that taking an area-specific approach effectively supports equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Furthermore, the rac 5/ rac 6 distribution was altered by catechol exchange of pyrocatechol for tetrachlorocatechol exploiting the dynamic covalent B-O bonds and the rac 5 isomer was the major isomer following exchange. No interconversion was observed for the rac 5 isomers of amidoboronates based on tetrachlorocatechol. The aniline para substituent and catechol within the amidoboronates tuned the rac 5/ rac 6 the rac 6 isomer predominated for amidoboronates based on pyrocatechol, ranging from a ratio of 0:1 with electron-withdrawing Cl substituents to 0.5:0.5 for electron-donating NMe 2 substituents. The interconversion of rac 5 and rac 6 isomers via rearrangement of their dynamic covalent B-N bonds was investigated in solution by redissolving isolated crystals. Invited article for the 10th Anniversary Special CollectionĪmidoboronates were prepared as a mixture of up to three isomers ( rac 5, meso 5 and rac 6) from the reductive coupling of N-aryl iminoboronates with either cobaltocene or decamethylcobaltocene in acetonitrile. The Dynamic Covalent Chemistry of Amidoboronates: Tuning the rac 5/ rac 6 Ratio via the B N and B-O Dynamic Covalent Bonds Finally, examples of cages are discussed where these design principles and characterisation techniques are put into practice for an application or function of the cage. The characterisation and identification of cages relies on a number of complementary techniques with NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography and computational methods being the focus of this review. This Tutorial Review gives an introduction to the principles for designing metallosupramolecular cages and highlights advances in the design of large and lower symmetry cages. Invited article for 2022 Emerging Investigators' CollectionĪlthough metallosupramolecular cages are self-assembled from seemingly simple building blocks, metal ions and organic ligands, architectures of increasingly large size and complexity are accessible and exploited in applications from catalysis to the stabilisation of reactive species. Metallosupramolecular Cages: From Design Principles and Characterisation Techniques to Applications The modularity of M-CPOnes from the metal ion to the cyclopropenone substitution and potential for further functionalisation of the ligand makes M-CPOnes appealing for tailored functionality in applications. Furthermore, the choice of metal allows the use of different spectroscopic methods to monitor photodecarbonylation from fluorescence spectroscopy to UV/vis spectroscopy and paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy. In proof-of-concept studies, M-CPOnes based on Zn II, Fe II and Co II are stable in the dark but undergo efficient light-triggered CO release with the cyclopropenone substituents and metal ions enabling tuning of the photophysical properties. McConnell,*Ī new class of CO-releasing molecules, M-CPOnes, was prepared combining cyclopropenone-based ligands for CO release with the modular scaffold of transition metal complexes.
