Check out our work on selective separation of styrene from ethylbenzene in aqueous medium using water-soluble metal free cyclophanes!! 😊😊😊
New paper alert❕️❕️❕️ We demonstrate the adaptive metal-free cyclophanes to discriminate planar molecules over non-planar, enabling rare aqueous phase separation of styrene from ethylbenzene 💧💧 Congratulations @MedhaAggarwal4 @SailendraPradh

Grateful to mark this @angew_chem paper with a dedication to Prof. Wen-Sheng Chung @NYCU_official, who introduced me to chemistry. I did my very first synthesis—a calixarene—and obtained my first crystal structure in his lab. Feels like coming full circle. https://t.co/bbQy4uFlCV
