I'm really happy to see that MOFs got the Nobel prize, & that they picked these 3 scientists, who really drove the field. Especially Richard Robson, whose visionary paper showed the first synthesis & predicted the design & functionality of these materials #ChemNobel #Chemsky @rsc-pormat.bsky.social

After a break, our next PorMat Webinar is on Tuesday 29th of July at 10:00 UK time: Pierre Karam - Smart Luminescent MOFs: Dual Strategies for Thermal Sensing and Structural Design and Sara Realista - Exploring MOFs for CO2 Electrocatalysis. Registration: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/560...

Delighted to announce the publication of our work in @nature.com, in collaboration with @nfchilton.bsky.social's group, on a dysprosium compound with magnetic memory at 100 Kelvin. Congrats to all authors inc. @gemmagransbury.bsky.social, @jeffjefftyjeff.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Well done everyone!

Thanks to all who attended UKPORMAT25, and the @unibirmingham.bsky.social for hosting it. It was great to see so many interesting talks, poster presentations and fruitful scientific discussions. See you all next year at Bristol!

Does anyone use CrystalDiffract to perform PhaseID? I'm trying it out and I'm not having much luck with it. I can't see how to specify what elements are in the pattern etc. Any advice?

Sad to wake up to find out that Fraser Stoddart has died. I met him a couple of times, once when I hosted him at Leeds chemistry. His knowledge, enthusiasm and supportive nature really shone through. We’ve lost a great scientist and ambassador for chemistry.

I decided to take guitar lessons for the first time (I’ve been playing self-taught for over 20 years). Turns out I’m doing pretty much everything wrong. It’s going to be a steep learning curve

For anyone who may need these over Xmas…just in case

Anyone else look at this and think that this cyclic voltammagram doesn’t look very reversible
