Excited to see Ashwani’s paper published in @chemicalscience.rsc.org! We investigate the selective photooxidation of diolates on Ti-oxo clusters. A crucial PCET step in the redox mechanism is only possible when the diolate is large and flexible. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

PhD studentship at Uni Warwick with CENTA! Join us to study the decomposition of potent greenhouse gas N2O using Earth abundant Ti-based molecular photocatalysts. Exciting joint project with @chaplinlab.bsky.social group. Please contact Seb for details. centa.ac.uk/studentship/... Please re-post.

Congrats to Dr Callum Rosenberg who has been awarded a 6-month EPSRC Postdoctoral Pathway Fellowship, which he will undertake with the Pike Group! Excited to see some new and exciting titanium-oxo cluster molecules and photo-crystallography during the project!

The Pike Group visit Bath for the 2025 Big Research Day Out! We had a great time with the @scottchemistry.bsky.social and Phanopoulos Groups. Great talks from RAs, PhDs, Masters and summer project students. Excellent mini golf, followed by West-country cider and enormous pizzas!

Massive congratulations to Dr. Stephen Brown @niobiumalkoxide.bsky.social on completing his PhD studies and also being awarded the Uni Warwick Department of Chemistry PhD Publication Prize for his paper in @jacs.acspublications.org! Check it out here pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Over the moon that the first paper from Anja's studies on metal chelate rotaxanes is now online in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1002/anie... Massive congratulations Anja, @daisypooler.bsky.social Huseyn, Monika and @screspi.bsky.social 🥳🎉🎊🍀🥃 Thread below --》

Delighted to see Stephen's paper on the light absorption properties of Ce-oxo clusters out in @chemicalscience.rsc.org. We look at the effects of mixed valency, dye ligands and size on the electronic structure of molecular nanoparticles of ceria! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Great Pike Group news this week! Congratulations to Stephen Brown for winning a Poster prize at the BCA spring conference and to Amina Humayun for the runner-up MRes Poster Prize!
