Topologically complex molecules obtained by transition metal templation: it is the presentation that determines the synthesis strategy†
Abstract
Topological constructions made from closed curves range from simple links to intricate knots and started to capture the chemists' attention in the early sixties. These mathematical objects result from particular embeddings of a single or a set of closed curves in the three-dimensional space that show an infinite variety of presentations. Simple
