Wonderful achievement toward chemically fueled synthesis by enzo olivieri, James Gallagher, Alexander Betts & T⌬ufic W. Mrad in Dave Leigh group. They drove thermodynamically unfavorable Diels-Alder reaction by coupling it to carbodiimide hydration.rb.gy/spmiih

Here's my latest illustration for the article "Endergonic synthesis driven by chemical fuelling" by David A. Leigh et al.! It delves into the fascinating realm of chemically fuelled ratcheted synthesis, pushing the boundaries of endergonic transformations. Have a look at it!

Out now in Nature Reviews Chemistry. We look at how the ratchet mechanisms that drive directional motion in biology and in the lab can also drive chemical reactions. Inaccessible transformations, like endergonic synthesis, become possible by adding some energy. nature.com/articles/s4157…

if chemistry ever leaves you feeling a bit like Sisyphus, Maxwell's demon knows how to help

Happy to see my first publication of my PhD out in JACS! We implement phosphine chemistry to drive a stepwise molecular motor! Big thanks for the collaboration with Patrick Zwick, Stefan Borsley, and Dave Leigh! Stay tuned!🔥 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

In this account we discussed the development of Nitration chemistry in KatayevLab in recent years. Check out the final version in CHIMIA chimia.ch/chimia/article… Swiss National Science Foundation Swiss Chemical Society DCBPunibern Vasiliki Valsamidou

The newly launched Fielden Research Group (fieldengroup.net) has two open funded PhD studentships! UoBChemistry Group members will learn loads, from organic synthesis to microscopy. Please get in touch if you'd like to know more. RT much appreciated! Details below:

Budding molecular magicians are invited to apply for a 4-year PhD studentship on catalysis-driven molecular machinery (e.g. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…; nature.com/articles/s4158…; etc) available in my group, autumn 2025 start: tinyurl.com/kdw6mtcr. Position open until filled😃

Very sad news of the passing of Fraser Stoddart, a giant of chemistry for four decades. He pioneered (with J-P Sauvage) the chemistry of the mechanical bond (catenanes & rotaxanes) & recognised that their well defined motions could be useful for molecular machinery... 1/3
