Bulky, non-coordinating anions are often innocent - until proven guilty! Learn how to identify if BArF is associating with your cations under strong ion-pairing conditions – and how that association impacts target interactions between cations and anions. https://t.co/ccNnCb51pg
pubs.acs.org
Cationic charges have long been used to enhance anion binding. Embedding charge introduces strong ion pairing for target anions but also for off-target ions, ultimately generating a mixture of...

What do you get when you mix 2D networks with silicon? You get January’s #POTM! This month’s paper comes from @Dichtel. It was “stiff” competition this month, but these 2D mechanically interlocked materials (2D MIMs) have some “strong” properties.

Mechanical bonds arise between molecules that contain interlocked subunits, such as one macrocycle threaded through another. Within polymers, these linkages will confer distinctive mechanical...
