Product-Triggered Adaptive Evolution From a Pd4L2 to a Pd6L3 Conjoined Cage via Catalytic Dehydration of p‑Quinone Methide Precursors.
Supramolecular chemistry aims to emulate the dynamic structural adaptations and induced-fit conformational changes of enzymes that are fundamental to their biological function. In this work, we synthesized an adaptive Pd4L2 coordination cage using the newly developed pyridinium-based ligand L with cis-capped Pd (II) sa...
