Abstract Nonconjugated hydrocarbons, like bicyclo [1.1. 1] pentane, bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane,
triptycene, and cubane are a unique class of rigid linkers. Due to their similarity in size and …

It is well established that strain in organic molecules is linked to having nonideal bond
lengths, bond angles and unfavourable non-covalent interactions. The constrained …

Nanoscale electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) displaying piezoresistance offer unique
measurement opportunities at the sub-cellular level, in detectors and sensors, and in …

The alarming rise in superbugs that are resistant to drugs of last resort, including
vancomycin-resistant enterococci and staphylococci, has become a significant global health …

The solution-state fluxional behavior of bullvalene has fascinated physical organic and
supramolecular chemists alike. Little effort, however, has been put into investigating …

The synthesis and processing of π‐rich polymers found in novel electronics and textiles is
difficult because chain stiffness leads to low solubility and high thermal transitions. The …

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

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 …

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

The molecule–electrode interface can regulate both the efficiency and pathways of electron
transport through single-molecule junctions (SMJs). The electromechanics of the interface …
