08.03.2024 International Woman’s day and the day I passed my PhD viva! 🎉 Thank you so much to my colleagues, friends and supervisors PikramenouGroup and Mike Hannon Thanks to Dr.Nik Hodges and prof. Antonios G. Kanaras for being part of this day 😊

Hello & welcome to SAND: Stop Akehurst North Durham. We’re a group of concerned residents, both in North Durham & the wider North East opposed to ‘parachute’ Luke Akehurst becoming the next MP for the constituency. The leaflet below explains some of the reasons why. Get on board.

First paper from my Postdoc in the Feringa Lab is out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. now! Great collaboration with Eric Sidler where we utilise dynamic redox switching to reversibly modulate antiaromaticity and chiroptical properties of a helical indenofluorene

🖊️Feedback requested📰we have written a very broad tutorial review on (supra-)molecular capsules that will hopefully be a useful resource. Please get in touch via email if you have any comments or notice we've missed something valuable - much appreciated! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Recent work from TAB Lab & collaborators at UEA published in Angewandte Chemie have shown switchable electronic coupling between perylene diimide dyes in the “Pink Box” macrocycle using 2D electronic spectroscopy doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Congratulations to Nagnath, Paige and Aniket Aniket Gupta for their work out now in a special issue of J Org Chem/Org Lett on gold-mediated chemistry doi.org/10.1021/acs.or… UoBChemistry

Very happy to see our work (Sophie Patrick, @JJDGroup) on real-time continuous flow cation sensing via non-faradaic capacitance spectroscopy published in Chemical Science! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

What a week, paper #3 out now, this time in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Together with Lotte (Feringa Lab) we elucidated the multi-state and pathway dependent redox switching properties of a simple overcrowded alkene with different geometries and optical properties. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

The last (and coolest) project of my PhD was just published 🥳 Thanks to everyone involved! #myfirstJACS

Delighted that this team effort from the group is out - we have tried to summarise the vast range of capsule-type architectures in the literature, including their synthesis, properties and limitations. We hope this will be a useful resource! UoBChemistry

Very excited to have this work out now! A very fun project which started during my stay in Berlin with Moritz Malischewski. Thanks to the whole group for making me feel so welcome and to OxICFM for funding!

A new chiral macrocycle which shows three-way switching of its chiroptical properties out now Angewandte Chemie. Work by Dr Denis Hartmann in TAB Lab & fantastic collaborators Samuel Penty and Robert Pal at Durham Chemistry and Martijn Zwijnenburg at UCL Chemistry doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Work from the group of Dr Andy Jupp Jupp Lab on dual-responsive phosphorous-based sensors has been published (🔓open access) in Angewandte Chemie Congratulations to Andy and his team. You can read the article here 👇 doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Great work from PhD student Ethan and MSci student Izzy scoping out a new area of research for the group!

How can Le Chatelier drive kinetics? Stefan Borsley and I analyse Denton's organocatalytic Mitsunobu reaction and show water removal outperforms catalyst redesigns. Why? Removing water part way through the reaction resets the potential energy surface! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

Congrats to Kate Hadley, PhD student who has won the Best Poster Prize at the 17th Int Symposium on Applied Bioinorganic Chemistry in Sweden. Kate received the award for her poster entitled “Chemical Crosslinked Metallo Coiled Coils; Implications for MRI Contrast Agent Design.”

Work from the group of Dr Tim Barendt, including former SoC PhD student Samuel Penty, in collaboration with researchers at Durham Chemistry The University of Sheffield UCL Chemistry, on chiroptical switching in a PDI macrocycle is published now in ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

📰Congratulations to Paulina who has just published her first first author paper from her PhD doi.org/10.1039/D5SC04… and her #MyFirstChemSci Chemical Science looking at coordination sphere interactions driving isomer selectivity in heteroleptic cages with low-symmetry ligands
