Hello all,
For this week we will be looking at rotaxane mechanophores that fluoresce when they are stretched. The main paper is from Yoshimitsu Sagara (Asst. Prof., Tamaoki group, Hokkaido University) and Christoph Weder (Adolphe Merkle Institute, University of Fribourg), and the secondary paper is a follow up paper from the same investigators that was published recently in ACS Central Science. See you all on Wednesday!
