The struggle is real. #exotic #condiment #sarson's #vinegar

Who wants to come and work with our group @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social on photoswitches and photopharmacology ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ Apply for our open #chempostdoc position now! Deadline 28th Feb. Reposts appreciated #Chemsky my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Peng-Lai, @stefanborsley.bsky.social, Martin & our collaborators Alessandro and @giusepponelab.bsky.social demonstrate how a catalyst transduces chemical energy to perform mechanical work in www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @nature.com. tinyurl.com/jny7nen5.

Here is a tentative Supramolecular Chemistry starter kit. Please let me know if you wish to be added ! #ChemSky go.bsky.app/RjRgi6n

It's that time of year again, Happy Die Hard day! #diehard #nakatomiplaza #xmasmovie #xmaseve ๐ŸŽ„ #yippee #ki #yay

Great job, @jiarongwu.bsky.social ! Very proud and a busy, but rewarding end to the year! Still trying to figure out how @profdaveleigh.bsky.social did that card trick ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿšฆ๐Ÿ”ฆ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŽ„

Excellent presentation from @jiarongwu.bsky.social at #MASC2024 in York, UK! Very proud! #chemsky ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

@profdaveleigh.bsky.social treating everyone to some magic and magical chemistry at #masc2024 with help from @jiarongwu.bsky.social from @jakeylg.bsky.social group #chemsky

Great to catch up with @jakeylg.bsky.social at #MASC2024! Awesome to see that imines are getting the love they deserve! #ChemSky #ChemSci

Aryliminopyrazoles are a novel class of imine-based photoswitches reported by @jakeylg.bsky.social and co-workers at The Julius Maximilians University of Wรผrzburg. These species were detailed in a #ChemSci Pick of the Week earlier this year! doi.org/10.1039/D3SC... #ChemSky ๐Ÿงช

@jakeylg.bsky.social's paper on imine photoswitches was also a #MyFirstChemSci. If you are interested on seeing the range of first Chemical Science papers then we have a collection for that here! bit.ly/4d1wxhR

We had a nice #xmas dinner last night with associated co-workers (feat. @jiarongwu.bsky.social, Deepu and Lasse). Together, we have had a wild and action packed year, I couldn't have asked for a better team to be doing science with! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ #chemsky

I swear that it is always the Germans who have the Wurst ideas! Sorry to my French friends...

Please check out our square macrocycle-based material by dynamic-covalent chemistry, if you like: Fluorinated Squareimines for Molecular Sieving of Aromatic over Aliphatic Compounds @hhu.bsky.social now early online in ACIE ๐Ÿ˜ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Today is the final day to register for #MASC2024 in York - we have a great meeting lined up on December 16/17 with an array of leading supramolecular chemists. mascgroup.co.uk/masc2024/

๐Ÿ“„ New pre-print from the group ๐Ÿ“ƒ Paulina has been looking at how different coordination sphere interactions affect isomer selectivity in heteroleptic Pd(II) coordination cages assembled from low-symmetry ligands doi.org/10.26434/che... #chemsky

The #chemistree has arrived and it is not even December yet... 1 coffee โ˜• = 1 decoration for the tree ๐ŸŽ„. My office is next door so I get a nice piney whiff every time I open my door! #chemsky

Alright, so for today, I introduce this strange crystal that has been quietly growing in the lab. No one knows what it is or when it was initially made (before I arrived to Germany). Anyway, it's a nice chunky one with an "X" inside. Maybe it's not even a crystal ๐Ÿ˜‚ #chemsky

So for today... This cover (ChemComm) was designed and assembled by @jiarongwu.bsky.social ๐ŸŽจ to represent the diversity of properties achieved for our iminobispyrazole photoswitches! ๐Ÿ’กWith initial inspiration from โ€œThe Dark Side of the Moonโ€ album cover ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽต #chemsky

and for today... here is some previous cover art! I had to hide this in case of any infringements, but I was pretty proud of our take on an "NME" magazine cover. A fair bit of effort that I had to leave out ๐Ÿ˜… A few easter-eggs for the #blink-182 #sum41 #theclash fans in the #chemsky community! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

and for today... a [3x3] study of iminobispyrazole ๐Ÿ’กswitches. We found the variation in properties dependent upon the regiochem. This led to a more extensive study (the Angew.). We hope to continue this imine series in the future, stay tuned๐Ÿ“ป #chemsky #teamimine #imines4life doi.org/10.1039/D4CC...

First post over here! Shiny typeset version of work with @jelfschem.bsky.social and @atarzia.bsky.social investigating the assembly of heteroleptic Pd coordination cages through experiment and computation doi.org/10.1002/chem...

I've keeping an eye on all the different chemistry starter packs. Here is the big list so far, in no particular order and badly formatted: #ChemSky #StarterPack #ChemistryStarterPack #Chemistry #Chemists #StartingPack

It's always hard to start on a new platform, make sure to give Jiarong (@jiarongwu.bsky.social) a follow. She has done the majority of the heavy lifting our groups papers ๐Ÿ˜ƒ #chemsky (yes... I was in need for a haircut in this photo...)

And the post for today... this is where our imine photoswitch adventure started (also the start of the group๐Ÿ˜€) We were surprised how the functionalization impacted the imines differently from the azo-switches. We look forward to sharing more imines in the future :D #chemsky doi.org/10.1039/D3SC...

๐Ÿ’กIf you find these improved imine-based photoswitches interesting, you can find an overview of their properties at the link below ๐Ÿ‘‡, as well as the first crystal structure of a metastable Z-aldimine! TOC designed by @jiarongwu.bsky.social #chemsky #photoswitch #imine doi.org/10.1002/anie...
