A Department research published by «Scientific Reports»

Posted on  5/17/2023

A study by a group of researchers Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta”, has been published on the Journal «Scientific Reports», an Open Access Journal publishing original research on natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering.

The article reports the kinetic control in the synthesis of interlocked icosahedral metal organic cages (poly-[n]-catenanes) M12L8 with an internal volume of ca. 2600 Å3. 
The M12L8 materials can be prepared as crystalline or amorphous phases and can be used in molecular sequestration applications.
