Through the use of perfluorinated ligands to induce dihedral twisting in ligands, our group have developed the first stable Pd8L16 square antiprism as a new member of the PdnL2n family. Delighted this is now out in @J_A_C_S with work led by @09Soumalya

Delighted to see our cover image out in the recent issue of @J_A_C_S highlighting our work on structural transformations of metal-organic cages. Like sand dunes that shift over time, some of the structures are transient. @ACS4Authors #MyACSCover 📷 by lead author @Mrb_Black
