Abstract:<p><a>Bond-breaking is an essential process in natural and synthetic
chemical transformations. Accordingly, the ability for researchers to
strategically dictate which bonds in a given system are broken translates to
greater synthetic control, as historically evidenced in fields such as organic
synthesis. Here, we report extending the concept of selective bond-breaking to
reticular materials, in a new synthetic approach that we call Clip-off
Chemistry. We show that bond-breaking in these structures … Show more
