Just out in @angew_chem: in elaborate [2]rotaxanes, we found that nanohoops suppress through-space charge transfer😮, which would explain some mysterious OPV results (e.g. by @Pingwu_Du). A tour de force study by @FabianSchwer, @GroupGuldi, et al.

New draft paper from @nanohoops led by recent graduate, Dr. Julia Fehr, posted on @ChemRxiv. Here we report a strain-promoted cyclotrimerization to generate 'pinwheel' carbon nanostructures. Check it out! https://t.co/KDAE3AK8wv
