Super exciting day using #MicroED at @rigakucorporation.bsky.social near Frankfurt with Dr. Khai-Nghi Truong 👌🏻 We tested several challenging samples and solved one cage structure by electron diffraction using the XtaLAB Synergy-ED. Fascinating to experience the differences to SC-XRD firsthand!

Super happy to share that our Chemical Science article ‘Structural control of dynamic covalent cages: kinetic vs. thermodynamic assembly and PFAS removal from water’ (pubs.rsc.org/doi/D5SC02247A) has been selected for the 2025 most popular supramolecular articles collection 🎉

We wish you all some happy holidays, a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁, and all the best for the upcoming New Year 2026 🎆🎇 We are looking back on a successful year 2025 and are grateful for all the support 🙏🏻 This year's card was kindly made by Marcos @notlillittle.bsky.social

Tobi and I were invited to highlight the recent paper of the team led by Vitórica-Yrezábal and Brammer in Nature Chemistry, so please enjoy "CO2 sorption in fluorinated non-porous coordination polymers" 😍 @chemiehhu.bsky.social @hhu.de www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CO2 sorption in fluorinated non-porous coordination polymers - Nature Chemistry

Porous materials have long been a focus of research for gas separations. Now, flexible, highly fluorinated coordination polymers lacking permanently built-in cavities have been shown to adsorb CO2 thr...

Colleagues, Students, Postdocs, Collaborators and Friends of Sir Fraser Stoddart: I am writing with the sad news that Fraser passed away suddenly on 31 Dec (Australia time) while on holiday with family. No details yet on any services. He is irreplaceable.

Slowly, this very stressful year is coming to and end and we want to wish all of you a Happy Christmas time🎄 and all the best for the upcoming year 2025 🎉🐍
