Bit belated (thanks COVID), but thanks to everyone who came to Supramol25 in Canberra last week. Some great plenaries and prize talks, and most impressively of the ~ 30 talks over 2 days, not a single one was in 4:3 format! I think this might be a career highlight.

1 pm Saturday: invitation to review a revision of a manuscript I've previously reviewed 6 pm Sunday: "I recently invited you to review this manuscript and have yet to receive your response" I get that journals want things signed off before Christmas, but this seems a bit much!

We report porous halogen bonded frameworks, assembled using NaCl ion pair templation. Not stable to evacuation but stable to solvent exchange and iodine vapour. Congrats to first/corresponding author Jordan who designed the system and visiting Edinburgh MChem student Callum who first made them.

New paper: We prepare robust organic cages in two steps and on large scales (up to 14 g). These can bind sulfate selectively in water. First paper in collaboration with Annie Colebatch and her group. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Is it OK to post papers on Bluesky? If so, end-of-year paper collaboration with Lauren Macreadie, pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... You can put cubane and bicyclopentane in hydrogen bonded frameworks, and they still absorb (a lot of) water vapour.

Great to be back in Aotearoa-New Zealand where the intercity coach I'm on also doubles as the medical courier to get blood samples to the hospital in the "big" city
