Low Symmetry Cage Complexes Formed by Metalation of Symmetric Hexa‐Cationic Organic Cages Threefold symmetric hexa-cationic hydrazone cages coordinate a range of transition metal ions upon deprotonation. When the cage contains ethyl solubilising groups the expected threefold symmetric cag...

We have a new paper out with Annie Colebatch: we metalate 6+ hydrazone cages to give M3-cage metallocages with coordinatively unsaturated metal ions. Et solubilising groups give expected 3-fold symmetric metallocages. OMe or OPr give funky low-symmetry cages tinyurl.com/4ehppaex.

A screenshot of Windows 3.11 for workgroups from: https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-3/311

We had an HP diode array spectrophotometer that was running on a Windows 3.11 for workgroups PC. Honestly it worked great!

We upgraded it bc our undergrads were confused about the OS. They'd never seen anything more ancient than Win 95 before (and that was 15 years ago)

Molecular cages: emerging applications in diverse fields Molecular cages are readily adaptable supramolecular structures with outstanding potential for multiple purposes. Cages have well-defined cavities that enable precise guest encapsulation, offering unique opportunities in sensing, catalysis, environmental and biological applications, among others. Recent advances in the field have demonstrated how the structural versatility of molecular cages — including all-organic and metal–organic architectures — allows the design of systems with tailored functionality. Innovative uses span from simple host–guest applications for the selective encapsulation of chemical species, to more sophisticated approaches aiming to mimic biological systems. This review gives a general overview of the field, focusing on the advances in the last 3 years, and emphasizing how the design of molecular cages to achieve specific functionalities is opening frontiers in innovative applications.
