Encapsulating xenon via dispersive interactions―Trapping #xenon in molecular cages raises an unresolved question: whether dispersion forces play the dominant role in Xe binding in solution, where competing effects such as solvophobic interactions may also contribute. In @J_A_C_S, Lu, Chen, Wang, Li et al. report the synthesis of a series of structurally analogous tetrahedral imine #cages in which the number and position of #fluorine atoms are systematically varied. Remarkably, only one member of the series exhibits a measurable affinity for xenon. Combined cavity volume analysis and theoretical calculations show that Xe–F London #dispersion interactions, together with size complementarity between guest and host cavity, are the primary determinants of xenon recognition in solution.

Congratulations @Stache_Lab for their latest in @J_A_C_S: “Universal Approach for the Depolymerization of Polyamides via Photothermal Conversion.”
Well done Deepika and Erin: https://t.co/oNMiq1TH3Z
Can ligands mimic larger portions of metalloproteins? Published in @DaltonTrans, we designed macrocylic peptides that mimic the β-sheet region at the active site of multicopper oxidases.

Our figure-eight salen dimer is now published in @InorgChem (@ACSPublications)!
In collaboration with Dr. Kondo at University of Shizuoka.
Congratulations, Wang-kun and Shiina-kun!!

How do you make metal cations interact? Easy - just lock them in a pyrrolic cage! In our new paper just published in @InorgChem we show metallophilicity under molecular confinement! @WCh_UWr@NCN_PL https://t.co/lCQh9gACrx
🤩🤩🤩Very happy to see published in @angew_chem our work on #MolecularCages as an Indicator Displacement Assay for Sensing the Scopolamine Illicit Drug!! Many congrats to @GiovanniMG_PhD and all @IDM_UPV_UV@UPV team!
