Catalysis by a Metastable Photoswitchable Cage
A self‐assembled heteroleptic cage is formed by isomerizing a photoswitchable ligand to its metastable Z‐isomeric form (Z‐1) using green light and combining with a non‐switchable ligand (2) and palladium(II) ions. The metastable [Pd2(Z‐1)2(2)2]4+ cage is an out‐of‐equilibrium self‐assembled catalyst, and can be reversibly assembled and disassembled ...

Click chemistry has evolved from making covalent connections to also breaking bonds. Here, a cascade assembly is reported that combines these maneuvers to build multifunctional biomolecular scaffolds in a modular one‐pot reaction. The unifying azide release‐tetrazine hub clicks with a trans‐cyclooctene tag, rapidly liberates N,N‐dimethylaniline to ...

Discovery of the Cyclic Form of MRI pH‐Sensor Z‐OMPD Enables >5% 13C Hyperpolarization by SABRE
With “c‐OMPD”, we discovered a previously unknown 5‐membered lactol structure that arises from the homoaldol condensation of the central metabolite pyruvic acid. We demonstrate that the cyclization equilibrium is of crucial importance for OMPD's function as MRI‐based pH sensor and achieve for the first time 13C polarization levels (>5%) by SABRE in the

The tRNA‐Modification Geranyl‐2‐Thiouridine Enables RNA‐Lipid Association
We report the preparation of mono‐ to tri‐geranylated RNA and the association of the hydrophobic RNA with membranes for future efficient incorporation of RNA into liposomes. ABSTRACT The packaging of RNA in lipid nanoparticles for protection and delivery was key for the development of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. Formulation requires the addition of
