The first fibres spun from our PN polymers. Simply hand-drawn in air from a viscous solution and wrapped around a pippete tip. Breakthrough by newest group member Dr.ErinWelsh. From these tiny threads we will build mighty things Dalhousie Chemistry!

Check out our perspective on this emerging and exciting field!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of UVic chemistry professor Ian Manners earlier this week. Ian was a world-leading scientist and an outstanding member of our Faculty, and will be profoundly missed. ow.ly/6Vi850QgE4j

I'm honoured to start 2024 as a University Research Chair Dalhousie Chemistry. Thanks to @DalVPR, Dalhousie Science for this recognition & all team members + collaborators for enabling it! Through this, we have a PhD position for May/Sept 2024 start (see ⬇️ + our website). Please share!🙂

Check out this new direction for the PN cage chemistry out of the Chitnis lab! Some cool materials came out of this one.

It’s an honour to be selected for the Dal Doctoral Thesis Award! Although it should go without saying, massive thanks to Saurabh Chitnis and everyone in the lab and department, past and present!

Our first @chemcommun appeared online yesterday! This is a great read for those interested in polymorphism, the photosalient effect, photoresponsive crystals…and more! Congratulations to Victoria and James. Read here: doi.org/10.1039/D4CC01…. #ChemCommMilestones

"Why are some pincer pnictogen complexes planar & others pyramidal?" Led by @THannah77, @taminazk, Dalhousie Chemistry We propose a model with 2 opposing effects to rationalize seemingly random outcomes. Written for both existing nerds & nerds-to-be (students)! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Love to see how this demo has progressed to show self-extinguishing with such large surface areas of cotton!

Awesome example of the cool and weird chemistry of catenated cages - Looking forward to reading the paper!

Our own @THannah77 (Tyler) will be doing a 3 min pitch of his PhD research at the Spring Garden library branch! Let's see if we can bring home the cup again this year! (pictured is last year's global winner Joe Bedard from our group)

If you've got a story about inorganic-organic hybrid polymers, I invite you to submit it to this special issue that I'm pleased to guest edit with Bekka Klausen and Erin Leitao for Polymer Chemistry! We've already had excellent interest and I look forward to reading the submissions!

Cool new family of BN-organometallic polymers by the Helten Group ! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
