Is organic chemistry winning me over?

A pleasure to host Omar Yaghi for this years Haworth Lecture and fantastic to see Omar enthral over 300 people with state-of-the-art reticular chemistry. UoBChemistry

Delighted to share our new preprint on ChemRxiv 'Structural transformations of metal-organic cages through tetrazine-alkene reactivity' go.shr.lc/3Pd5DdJ
with Martin Black Soumalya Bhattacharyya Stephen Argent

The Steve Goldup group UoBChemistry present a platform for the synthesis of mechanically caged molecules, a macrocycle that can be modified to open in response to triggers. Mechanical caging is an old dog but this opens the field to new tricks! #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

This is the story of a crystal, we’ll call it Chris.
Chris was very bad at XRD, but it didn’t need shame. All it needed was some warmth. At 200 K Chris felt much better 😊 If your crystals are disordered like Chris, giv'em a hug (with your cryostream)… especially if they're MOFs

'Dependents' ....you mean 'children'. We desperately need care workers.
Children desperately need their parents.

You are boasting about inflicting grim cruelty on children and that you don't care about the mental health of care workers. HOW did YOU ever get a job? Baffling.

Really excited to share our latest work from TAB Lab out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Thank you to our wonderful collaborators Georgia Orton, Martijn Zwijnenburg Dominic Black and Robert Pal. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Great to see this paper from Samuel Penty TAB Lab on a chirally locked Bis-perylene diimide macrocycle out in JACS this week, exploring chiral PDI self-assembly. It was a pleasure to look into the crystal structure of this funky molecule! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Durham University Chemistry Department is excited to announce it is currently recruiting a senior experimental officer in x-ray crystallography. Please see below for more information.

Two #PhD positions available in our lab UoBChemistry. Immediate starts available. Check the links below for each. Unfortunately, Home/UK students only. Please share.

Exciting new PhD project in our group. If you like rotaxanes or you like MOFs then this is the project for you. If you like both then that is even better. Funding for UK students only. If you are interested then please email. Retweets appreciated. jobs.ac.uk/job/DFU329/phd…

🚨Opportunity alert! Could you be the next Technical Manager (X-ray diffractometer) in our exciting and fast moving department? Check out the job description below and apply by 29 February⬇️🚨

Do you find yourself giving up on crystals because they are too small for X-ray diffraction? Electron diffraction could be helpful. The interactions of electrons with crystals are at least 100,000 times stronger than interactions of X-rays with crystals.
