Molecular simulation studies of cyanine-based chromonic mesogens: spontaneous symmetry breaking to form chiral aggregates and the formation of a novel lamellar structure (2018)
Journal Article

All‐atom molecular dynamics simulations are performed on two chromonic mesogens in aqueous solution: 5,5′‐dimethoxy‐bis‐(3,3′‐di‐sulphopropyl)‐thiacyanine triethylammonium salt (Dye A) and 5,5′‐dichloro‐bis‐(3,3′‐di‐sulphopropyl)‐thiacyanine triethyl...

Tying a Molecular Overhand Knot of Single Handedness and Asymmetric Catalysis with the Corresponding Pseudo-D-3-Symmetric Trefoil Knot (2016)
Journal Article

We report the stereoselective synthesis of a left-handed trefoil knot from a tris(2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide) oligomer with six chiral centers using a lanthanide(III) ion template. The oligomer folds around the lanthanide ion to form an overhand knot...

Directed Remote Lateral Metalation: Highly Substituted 2-Naphthols and BINOLs by In Situ Generation of a Directing Group (2018)
Journal Article

A general synthesis of highly substituted 2‐naphthols based on a new carbanionic reaction sequence is demonstrated. The reaction exploits the dual nature of lithium bases consisting of consecutive ring opening of readily available coumarins with eith...
