Supramolecular gelation as the first stage in Ostwald’s rule (2018)
Journal Article
Andrews, J. L., Pearson, E., Yufit, D. S., Steed, J. W., & Edkins, K. (2018). Supramolecular gelation as the first stage in Ostwald’s rule. Crystal Growth and Design, 18(12), 7690-7700. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.cgd.8b01539

Ostwald’s rule of stages describes the observation that a metastable polymorph of a particular compound will crystallise before the thermodynamically stable form under the same conditions. Whilst traditionally applied to crystalline systems, there ha... Read More about Supramolecular gelation as the first stage in Ostwald’s rule.

Highly Linearized Twisted Iridium(III) Complexes (2018)
Journal Article
Davidson, R., Hsu, Y.-T., Griffiths, G. C., Li, C., Yufit, D., Pal, R., & Beeby, A. (2018). Highly Linearized Twisted Iridium(III) Complexes. Inorganic Chemistry, 57(22), 14450-14462. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b02818

Sonogashira coupling with alkyne iridium(phenylpyridine)2(acetylacetone) synthons is used to produce highly linearized twisted iridium(III) complexes with lengths of up to 5 nm. These complexes were mechanically aligned in a polymer matrix, showing a... Read More about Highly Linearized Twisted Iridium(III) Complexes.

Shape-Selective Crystallisation of Fluxional Carbon Cages (2018)
Journal Article
Bismillah, A., Sturala, J., Chapin, B., Yufit, D., Hodgkinson, P., & McGonigal, P. (2018). Shape-Selective Crystallisation of Fluxional Carbon Cages. Chemical Science, 9(46), 8631-8636. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8sc04303e

Dynamic covalent rearrangements of fluxional carbon cages, such as bullvalenes and barbaralanes, impart ‘shapeshifting’ molecular properties. Here, a series of five barbaralanes each interconvert dynamically between two constitutional isomers in solu... Read More about Shape-Selective Crystallisation of Fluxional Carbon Cages.

Conductance of ‘bare-bones’ tripodal molecular wires (2018)
Journal Article
Davidson, R. J., Milan, D. C., Al-Owaedi, O. A., Ismael, A. K., Nichols, R. J., Higgins, S. J., Lambert, C. J., Yufit, D. S., & Beeby, A. (2018). Conductance of ‘bare-bones’ tripodal molecular wires. RSC Advances, 8(42), 23585-23590. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8ra01257a

Controlling the orientation of molecular conductors on the electrode surfaces is a critical factor in the development of single-molecule conductors. In the current study, we used the scanning tunnelling microscopy-based break junction (STM-BJ) techni... Read More about Conductance of ‘bare-bones’ tripodal molecular wires.
