Clip-off Chemistry: a powerful novel strategy for synthesising new materials

Scientists propose a novel approach to the synthesis of molecular structures that can allow material scientists to design and build a set of new materials. By splitting in a controlled way only selected bonds in the lattice of some molecules or materials, structures exhibiting different properties from the original ones are obtained.
