Thanks Carl! The Periodic Videos team work very fast - the video was up only three days after we sent them the photos (and two of them were a weekend!) 😅

Can I flip it? Yes you can!

Elusive pillar[5]arene conformation formed by flipping an aromatic ring with mechanical force!

An @angewandtechemie.bsky.social hat trick for Lei with the help of @tomasnicolas.bsky.social and @ironcevic.bsky.social !

Chemistry textbooks will tell you that organometallic compounds can only have a maximum of 18 valence electrons. A new derivative of ferrocene has 20.

Organometallic compound found to break textbook principle
A ferrocene-derived complex is a further exception to the 18-electron rule

Dual release with a bit of logic!

We show the release of a double cargo payload with 2 stimuli, force and water, with an AND gate mechanism.

Great work from Lei Chen, now available in #openaccess as a #HotPaper in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social
