Discovered as organometallic curiosities in the 1970s, carbene radicals have become a
staple in modern-day homogeneous catalysis. Carbene radicals exhibit nucleophilic radical …

An enantiopure ligand with four bidentate metal-binding sites and four (S)-carbon
stereocenters self-assembles with octahedral ZnII or CoII to produce O-symmetric M8L6 …

Diazo compounds are organic substances that are often used as precursors in organic
synthesis like cyclization reactions, olefinations, cyclopropanations, cyclopropenations …

We derive design principles for the assembly of rectangular tetramines into Zn8L6 pseudo‐
cubic coordination cages. Because of the rectangular, as opposed to square, geometry of …

The resorcin [4] arene capsule was found to catalyze β-selective furanosylation reactions for
a variety of different furanosyl donors: α-d-and α-l-arabinosyl-, α-l-fucosyl-, α-d-ribosyl-, α-d …

Crownphyrins are hybrid macrocycles combining structural features of porphyrin and crown
ethers. The molecular architecture renders them an intriguing class of hosts capable of …

First-row transition-metal complexes often show a propensity for forming reactive radical
species, such as superoxide complexes (M–O2·) generated by the binding of O2 to the metal …

Molecular capsules enable the conversion of substrates inside a closed cavity, mimicking to
some extent enzymatic catalysis. Chirality transfer from the molecular capsule onto the …

Cyclopropanes constitute a pivotal molecular scaffold in medicinal and agrochemical
research and find broad applications in marketed drugs and other bioactive compounds …

Coordination cages with well‐defined cavities show great promise in the field of catalysis on
account of their unique combination of molecular confinement effects and transition‐metal …
