Congratulations to the group for opening our business in the Year of🐉with a new BCH mechanophore published in @J_A_C_S. By stretching different C-C bonds with external forces, we are able to elicit diverse mechanochemical reactions from the BCH scaffold.

@WeiZheng0921 @J_A_C_S Thanks, Wei!

@JPChem1 @J_A_C_S Thanks Junpeng! We only wish that this migration can be more selective.

@GuillaumeDeBo @J_A_C_S Thanks, Guillaume!

@zhichang_liu @J_A_C_S Thanks, Zhichang!

@Semin_Lee @J_A_C_S Thanks, Semin!!

@niu_group @J_A_C_S Thanks, Jia! Six is the magic number for a ladderene.

@SaraSkrabalak @J_A_C_S Thanks, Sara!

We'd like to thank our collaborators. Rong Zhu's group (@PKU1898) showed us the rich chemistry of BCH, and Jan Meisner's group (@HHU_de) revealed the effective bond-force coupling that allows the activation of BCH to be bond-selective.

@JPChem1 @J_A_C_S Thanks Junpeng! Old molecules can sometime teach us a new lesson.

@Dr_QiZhang Thanks Qi! Now it is your turn!

@niu_group @J_A_C_S Thanks, Jia and friends in the Niu group ;-)

@HaoSun01977255 @J_A_C_S Thanks Hao! I am glad that we survived the scrutiny...

@DOliiFontaine @J_A_C_S Thanks Olivier!

@Semin_Lee @J_A_C_S Thanks Semin! It took five months and six reviewers to go through...😂

@zhichang_liu @J_A_C_S Thanks Zhichang! Stay tuned for some mechanochemistry 😂

@elvahupin @J_A_C_S Thanks Elva!

@Billy_Neary @J_A_C_S Thanks Billy! You are fast at this😉 Looking forward to your cool chemistry

I'd also take this opportunity to thank @amar_flood and @Mechanophore. Thank you for always being there to offer advice and unwavering support!
