Cover Feature: Triptycene‐Based Tripodal Molecular Platforms (Chem. Eur. J. 56/2024).

This article discusses the synthesis of triptycene-based tripodal molecular platforms, which are important for surface-mounted molecular devices. These molecular tripods have been shown to be versatile by being integrated into various functional molecules, such as molecular motors, photoswitches, and molecular rotors. The researchers achieved this by using standard cross-coupling reactions. For more information, readers can refer to the research article by J. Kaleta and co-workers. [Extracted from the article]
