Pnictogen-Bond-Directed Self-Assembly of Sb and As Cages Enables Partitioning of Organic Reaction Media

Abstract Pnictogen bonding directs self-assembly of antimony- and arsenic-based thiolate cages in organic media, with the Sb system forming persistent reversed-bilayer vesicles capable of chemical compartmentalization. This is demonstrated using chemoswitchable fluorescent probes...
