What if complexity was already built in — just waiting to be released?
In our latest @science.org, we show how COFs can selectively excise organic macrocycles with precision.
A chemistry that reveals what’s already there. Clip-off Chemistry.

MOPs meet DNA! We developed a method to use MOPs as crosslinking nodes for DNA, creating robust, porous networks that form hydrogels and aerogels. A promising strategy to upcycle biomass-derived DNA into functional materials. Check it out at @jacs.acspublications.org 👇🏻 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

DNA-Based Networks Formed by Coordination Cross-Linking of DNA with Metal–Organic Polyhedra: From Gels to Aerogels to Hydrogels

Herein, we introduce a supramolecular method to form DNA-based networks by cross-linking DNA with Rh(II)-based metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs), which entails coordination of DNA to the exohedral Rh(II)...
