Registration for SupraChem2026 is open! Join us in Dortmund from March 8th - 10th 2026 for sharing the latest developments in supramolecular chemistry, including poster presentations, about 20 contributed talks and prize lectures for the new GDCh SupraChem PhD award!

Watching the Nobel Prize announcement with pizza! Congratulations to the awardees! Well deserved! @nobelprize.bsky.social

After a thourough peer-review (as it should be), we are proud to say that our review on Supramolecular Self-Association of Organocatalysts has now been published in Nat. Rev. Chem.! Great work by Shounak @shounakhinge.bsky.social and Sohom @sohomkundu.bsky.social! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Bela, Jey, Jochen, Shounak @shounakhinge.bsky.social and Sohom @sohomkundu.bsky.social presented the group´s research at the Symposium for Confinement Controlled Chemistry @grk2376.bsky.social in Bochum @ruhr-uni-bochum.de. Good to see chemistry from a different perspective! Good work everyone!

The work by Somayyeh, Maike and Jan @riebe-chem.bsky.social on optimized synthetic routes towards BINOL-based crown ethers has now been published in Beilstein J. Org. Chem.! @beilstein-institut.bsky.social Congratulations to all! www.beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/article...

Congratulations to Matthias, who became PhD no. 8 from our group! He made great progress towards mechanically chiral catenanes, plus writing a review and contributing to other projects! See www.beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/article... and enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Found this in our local shopping center. The fascination of the mechanical bond is everywhere 😂 #catenane

Happy to share that the recently founded Working Group „Supramolecular Chemistry“ of the German Chemical Society will Award its very first PhD Prize in memory of Carsten Schmuck. Please apply! www.gdch.de/netzwerk-str...

Happy to share that our recent paper in Chem. Eur. J. was highlighted with a Cover Feature! chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Thanks to Sasha Ediger (designmodus.com) for the beautiful image!

Sophia obviously has a good time at the 2025 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting! Enjoy your last day Tomorrow!

Congratulations, Steve! Well deserved!

We are happy to share that Sophia from our group has been selected as a participant for this year´s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Chemistry. Congratulations Sophia and enjoy your time in Lindau in July! www.mediatheque.lindau-nobel.org/meetings/2025

After a record-breaking 18 days from submission to final decision, we are happy to share the latest work by Sohom, Shubhadip and Jan ‪in Chem. Eur. J.! They developed a rotaxane transporter for reversible macrocycle release and recapture! chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Most happy that you are staying with us, Jan! Looking forward to many years of science together!

Supramolecular chemistry has officially "grown up" in Germany. On behalf of the 10-person Founding Team👇, I am happy to announce the creation of section SupraChem within the German Chemical Society! 🍾 GDCh members please consider joining asap via www.gdch.de/suprachem @gdch.bsky.social

After almost one month of hard work, we have finished our move. The Niemeyer group can now be found on the fifth floor of the chemistry building (S07 S05)! Following Jochen´s promotion to full professor in 2023, we could now move into wonderful new synthesis labs, analytical labs and offices!

We have a new publication! The group by Ivo Leito investigated acidity-reactivity relationships of acidic catalysts, including one of our phosphoric acid catalysts! Now online in Molecular Catalysis!​​ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨PhD available - UK home fees ONLY🚨 we will shortly be advertising for a fully-funded PhD studentship (fees + stipend) to work in our group on molecular capsules. For informal enquiries send me an email including your CV. Retweets appreciated! Full details to come soon.

Following his successful PhD defense in October, Jan @riebe-chem.bsky.social was awarded with the prize for the best PhD thesis at the Faculty in 2024. Next to obtaining some prize money, Jan also had the chance to present his research to the entire faculty. Congratulations for this great award!

Here is a tentative Supramolecular Chemistry starter kit. Please let me know if you wish to be added ! #ChemSky go.bsky.app/RjRgi6n

Reposting this #molswitch #molmachine starter pack. If you want to be included in it, please let me know go.bsky.app/EwimNbK

Happy to see this pubslished! Wonderful collaboration between Rainer Meckenstock, Christian Merten @mertenlab.bsky.social and others! Jan @riebe-chem.bsky.social and Matthias could provide an enantiomerically pure substrate for the enzymatic pathway! doi.org/10.1111/1462...

We wrapped up the year with our traditional Christmas Dinner at Taste it India! An eventful year for the group, thanks to everyone for their excellent work and dedication! The Niemeyer group wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a great start of 2025!

We will start moving from Twitter to this place! So let‘s kick it off with some seasonal greetings from the Niemeyer group! We said goodbye to Jey, who headed back to Nanjing, and enjoyed mulled wine with the group!
