Shapeshifting molecules exhibit rapid constitutional dynamics while remaining stable,
isolable molecules, making them promising artificial scaffolds from which to explore complex …

Polycyclic ring systems are ubiquitous three-dimensional (3D) structural motifs central to the
function of many biologically active small molecules and organic materials. Indeed, subtle …

Dynamic, shapeshifting hydrocarbons have emerged as enabling frameworks across drug
discovery, materials science, and catalysis. Their employment, however, is often hampered …

In biological systems, molecular motors have been developed to harness Brownian motion
and perform specific tasks. Among the cytoskeletal motor proteins, kinesins ensure …

Boronic acid-substituted shapeshifting bullvalenes bearing a 13C label are employed as
sensor arrays for polyhydroxylated compounds, such as carbohydrates, flavanols, and sialic …

Hydrogen bonding is fundamental to life on our planet, and nature utilizes H-bonding in
nearly all biomolecular interactions. Often, H-bonding is already maximized in natural …

Guided by a synthetic design aimed at late-stage diversification, we report the preparation of
unusual shapeshifting anions and their subsequent application to the total synthesis of the …

Fluxional molecules which rapidly pass back and forth between a large number of
constitutional isomers through low-energy rearrangements have fascinated chemists [1] …

The gold (I)‐catalyzed oxidative cyclization of 7‐ethynyl‐1, 3, 5‐cycloheptatrienes gives 1‐
substituted barbaralones in a general manner, which simplifies the access to other fluxional …

A fluxional bis‐monodentate ligand, based on the archetypal shape‐shifting molecule
bullvalene, self‐assembles with M2+ (M= Pd2+ or Pt2+) to produce a highly complex …
