Professor Jeremy Sanders, FRS, is Head of the School of Physical Sciences, and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Institutional Affairs) of the University of Cambridge.
Over the past 20 years, Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry has evolved rom its first naive conception into a powerful tool for the discovery of extraordinary and unpredictable structures. In principle, it allows us to specify the binding properties of an unknown molecule, and then to design the experiment and building blocks that will create the desired species. The evolving journey of discovery also leads to unexpected new materials and challenges some long-lived and strongly-held preconceptions about entropy and molecular flexibility.
