g-xTB: A General-Purpose Extended Tight-Binding Electronic Structure Method For the Elements H to Lr (Z=1–103)

We present g-xTB, a next-generation semi-empirical electronic structure method derived from tight-binding (TB) approximations to Kohn–Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). Designed to bridge the ga...

(4/4) Crucially, the Zn-helicate can #regioselectively exchange one Zn(II) for Fe(II), forming a Zn-Fe helicate. This process is significantly accelerated by #LightIrradiation via the #MolecularRatchet mechanism, reminiscent of the operation of a claw machine.

(3/4)💡Furthermore, #photoswitching of the helicates operates via a #MolecularRatchet mechanism, which autonomously operates under continuous white light irradiation. This results in the accumulation of a specific #out-of-equilibrium pseudo-mesocate structure

(2/4) Homometallic helicates form with Fe(II), Zn(II), and Co(II).
We demonstrate highly selective #heterobimetallic #self-sorting of Zn(II) and Fe(II), as well as Zn(II) and Co(II), within the helicates, despite both metal centres being octahedrally coordinated.

I obviously forgot to take pictures, with the exception of my Käsespätzle. #ChemistsWhoEat
