Finally, this comes to fruition w/ the intro. of a new paracyclophane. Congrats. to Jasmin, yannnn, Hassan, Eduard Spuling for their paper in @AdvSciNews Another great collab. w/ the groups of JeanneCrassous@ISCR, Ifor Samuel and braeselab. St Andrews School of Chemistry St_Andrews_OSC.

Alfonso and Fátima have done an excellent work on the kinetically controlled co-assembly of complementary PDIs!!! You can find the complete study in Chemical Science 👉 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Just accepted in Adv. Funct. Mater. (dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2…) @AdvSciNews is Eli Zysman-Colman's perspective on paracyclophane compounds and their use in diverse applications (incld #TADF), co-authored by Zahid Hassan, Jörg Lahann and Stefan Bräse. St Andrews School of Chemistry St_Andrews_OSC

“A lot of advances in science build on decades of curiosity-driven experimentation by people that just have a passion for understanding nature. That is the story of CRISPR.” - Chemistry laureate Jennifer Doudna of UC Berkeley

Check out this fascinating paper on COFs titled 'A π-conjugated covalent organic framework enables interlocked nickel/photoredox catalysis for light-harvesting cross-coupling reactions' by Biplab Maji et al from IISER Kolkata 🤩 Read here for free💎: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Great talk by Matthew Fuchter on maximizing dissymmetry and handling directionality in chiral materials. Campbell,yannnn, Jingxiang Wang, and Suraksha Rajan enjoyed a great chat over lunch with Prof.Matt. St Andrews School of Chemistry St_Andrews_OSC

Obligatory poster snap from yesterday's excellent ScotChem Computational Chemistry Symposium. Great to get a chance to talk to everyone about their research (and the Digichem of course!) PS Oliver Lee really is cut in half in real life too

Group photo (got almost everyone) during the annual group BBQ on West Sands. Lucky for us the weather was warm and sunny.

Last week yannnn, yin xuan zhang  and Mahni Fatahi presented their work at the RSC Photophysics & Photochemistry Group early career meeting hosted by the The University of Sheffield. 😍A great opportunity to get to see interesting science and meet other early-stage researchers.🥳

Congrats to Changfeng Si Will Primrose 🇨🇦 & yannnn for their paper accepted in Adv Optical Mat (dx.doi.org/10.1002/adom.2…) in collab with the Hudson group showcasing the 1st examples of #mrtadf #bioimaging dyes. St Andrews School of Chemistry St_Andrews_OSC.

Tu Youyou became the first mainland Chinese scientist to be awarded a #NobelPrize in a scientific field - for discovering artemisinin, a malaria cure that’s saved millions. Today we reveal the 2025 medicine laureate. Stay tuned.

Congrats to Yan yannnn, who passed her PhD viva today. Many thanks to Marcel Mayor and Neil Robertson for acting as examiners. I think the smile says it all. EZ-C Group St Andrews School of Chemistry St_Andrews_OSC

Many congratulations to Yan yannnn for passing her viva.🥳🎊😍
