New online! A radical way to ethylene

Our first endeavour into transient supramolecular polymers is now out in Small! #Chemsky Read the work we have done in the temporal control of superstructure formation (open access) ⬇️ 📖 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Thanks for supporting our work @erc.europa.eu !

Interested in #photoswitches💡, molecular #replicators🧬, #supramolecular #capsules📦, and #nanoparticles📀? Would you like to create new types of animate #materials? Join us, Euan Kay, @profphilp.bsky.social, Arne Lützen, and me, for your #PhD #ChemSky #FindAPhD #Chemistry @unibonn.bsky.social

Latest co-authored article is out @nature.com reporting on a very cool stereospecific self-assembly into chiral snub cubes. Tremendous work lead by Huang Wu, with Fraser Stoddart lead. Fraser, thanks for everything, you will be missed. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fraser was an inspiration as scientist, mentor and person. Will be deeply missed by many - I will be always grateful for all of his time, advice and help.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Hi #chemsky! Glad to join and see so many familiar faces and names over here. Will be posting about news from our research group - follow if you are interested in chemistry (organic dyes, supramolecular chemistry and/or photocatalysis)! Happy #fluorescencefriday!
