The Role of Kinetic Asymmetry in Chemical and Thermodynamic Coupling - Dean Astumian - ChemSystemsChem - Wiley Online Library The essence of non-equilibrium is having several trajectories, with kinetic selection between them. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/G… …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

A key point is that the time honored concept of a "driving force" for transition between two states away from equilibrium is wrong. Each trajectory has a "driving force" - some forward and some backward - but it is kinetic asymmetry that selects which dominates.

[ISMSC 2025 Award Speaker] Prof. Xi Zhang (Tsinghua Univ./Jilin Univ.) has been selected as the recipient of the 2025 Stoddart Science Fund Chemist Award. The Fund is used for awarding those who made outstanding contributions to supramolecular chemistry and molecular machines.

Electrostatic interactions turn out to be a dominant factor in determining the pre-organization of carboxylate guests in CD-MOFs. This observation could open up many opportunities for engineering chemical reactions in confined spaces. Dengke Shen 沈登科 Fraser Stoddart HKU Chemistry

The fundamental message from this research is that it’s possible when substrates are bound in nano-sized receptors for one binding source to become dominant over all the others, i.e., many a mickle makes a muckle doesn’t always have to rule the roost. Northwestern Chemistry HKU Chemistry

Our recent paper will be highlighted in the backcover of one of the next Chemical Science issues. I thank my collaborators DJ Kim Xinchen Dai Cesare Berton, and MUR and Swiss National Science Foundation for having made this research possible. Here is the updated link: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC04…

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😃
