We are really excited to share our last collaboration @ciqususc together with @WernerNau on Boron Superchaotropic Clusters for the transport (and delivery) of bioactive hydrophilic molecules across lipid membranes and inside cells 🧵 Today @Nature https://t.co/2YlN8mnBlh
A fully fused, 3D pi-conjugated Archimedean cage (a truncated tetrahedron) was synthesized in one pot! The solvent molecule (o-DCB) serves as template and is trapped in the magnetically shielded cavity. Paper was just published in @J_A_C_S

Boron’s owner, Fred Hawthorne, has taken his leave of us, having gifted us with an incredible legacy of creativity in research, outstanding service to chemistry and a strong supporter of younger generations of chemists, of whom I was one. RIP Fred. https://t.co/W6bNkm8eet

Great collaboration with my dear colleagues Dong Yang, @JakeyLG, @TanyaRonson. Favourite parts: the #crownether-like coordination unit for the La(III)s and the cooperativity.😁
Excited to see this out in @J_A_C_S!
Very glad to participate in @ISMSC2020
