Well done @zarikyusaf.bsky.social 🥳

Congratulations to Paulina who has just published her first first author paper from her PhD doi.org/10.1039/D5SC... and her #MyFirstChemSci @chemicalscience.rsc.org looking at coordination sphere interactions driving isomer selectivity in heteroleptic cages with low-symmetry ligands

✨Spotlight✨ The RSC MASC Group PhD Thesis Award 🏆 Given in memory of John Fossey, open to doctoral students in the final year of their studies working in the area of supramolecular chemistry in its widest sense. Deadline 📆 7th Nov More on mascgroup.co.uk/2025-masc-pr... (1/5)

We have a new paper out with Annie Colebatch: we metalate 6+ hydrazone cages to give M3-cage metallocages with coordinatively unsaturated metal ions. Et solubilising groups give expected 3-fold symmetric metallocages. OMe or OPr give funky low-symmetry cages tinyurl.com/4ehppaex.
