Dear Brian and Dan (nice to be virtually acquainted btw,  I enjoy the blog)

Thanks for this – very helpful, and two interesting examples. In the case we have the two orientations are linked by a single bond rotation, and it enabled us to design an entirely new class of compound that allowed for both of the two orientations to be mimicked in a single compound.

Cheers

Rob
