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 …

Shape-shifting molecules such as bullvalene undergo rapid structural reorganizations via
degenerate Cope rearrangements. Here, we obtain accurate CCSD (T)/CBS barrier heights …

Here, we analyze the stereodynamic properties of bullvalenes using principal moments of
inertia and exit vector plots to draw comparisons with commonly used ring systems in …

Boronate ester bullvalenes are now accessible in two to four operationally simple steps. This
unlocks late-stage diversification through Suzuki cross-coupling reactions to give mono-, di …

In search for structural features that enable the control of the valence isomerization of the
fluxional bullvalene, a bullvalene‐bis (harmane) conjugate is identified that acts as chelating …

Herein we demonstrate that the rapid 'shapeshifting'constitutional isomerization of a
substituted bullvalene is influenced by the E-to-Z configurational isomerization of a remote …

The endiandric acids are classic targets in natural product synthesis. The spectacular 8π/6π-
electrocylisation/intramolecular Diels–Alder (8π/6π/IMDA) reaction cascade at the heart of …

Herein we demonstrate that the rapid 'shapeshifting'constitutional isomerization of a
substituted bullvalene is influenced by the E-to-Z configurational isomerization of a remote …

The stereomutation of substituted bullvalenes is an inevitable consequence of the valence
isomerism that automerizes this unique fluxional hydrocarbon. The introduction of external …
