On ChemRXiv today, our strategy to build a rotaxane threading a BODIPY: chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....
Beyond high PLQYs & two-photon absorption, we developed a method enabling fast & quantitative decoordination (1 min) and recoordination (1 min) of the macrocycle.

Here is a nice paper from the Jiang group that presents the synthesis of a BODIPY rotaxane, using our threading methodology with boron: pubs.rsc.org/sc/article/d...
At the same time, we developed a similar strategy independently, which will be released very soon. Stay tuned... 😉
