Pre-print of some of our latest work is now up, where Megan has been leading work to make porous cages with mechanochemistry, aided by 3D electron diffraction. Another collaborative effort with @ajfletcher.bsky.social and others not on bluesky. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....

Perhaps you've heard of MOFs or COFs? Now there's PAFs – porous aromatic frameworks – and they're much tougher than their cousins. And they're showing promise storing and releasing CO₂ with a flash of light.

‘Almost impossible to destroy’: material captures CO2 and frees it at the flick of a photoswitch

New class of porous materials can trap gases and release them on command

Round of applause for our very own Gerard Pena for a fantastic flash communication about the use of spray-drying to synthesize organic molecules at the XL Reunión Bienal of @rseq-quimica.bsky.social in #Bilbao 👏🏻

Closing up our contributions to the XL Bienal of the RSEQ, @pfserinan.bsky.social was awarded Best Flash Communication for her talk showing how we make metal-organic nanosheets via Clip-Off Chemistry ✂️

Very proud of @sararuizr.bsky.social awarded Best Flash Communication award at XL Reunión Bienal of @rseq-quimica.bsky.social with her talk on the synthesis of metal-organic polyhedra through Clip-Off Chemistry ✂️

What if complexity was already built in — just waiting to be released? In our latest @science.org, we show how COFs can selectively excise organic macrocycles with precision. A chemistry that reveals what’s already there. Clip-off Chemistry. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Still over the moon over @sararuizr.bsky.social and @pfserinan.bsky.social being awarded Best Flash and Best Oral Communications at the Reunió de Química Inorgànica i Organometàl·lica of the Societat Catalana de Química 👏🏻 Congratulations!

Last day of Reunió de Química Inorgànica i Organometàl·lica of the Societat Catalana de Química with @pfserinan.bsky.social presenting our latest work in Clip-Off Chemistry to obtain 2D systems!

Clipping our hands off for @sararuizr.bsky.social and her flash communication at the second edition of the Reunió de Química Inorgànica i Organometàl·lica of the Societat Catalana de Química ⚡️ Kudos!👏🏻

📰 BREAKING NEWS❗ 🎖️ The @wearenanoup.bsky.social Group leader, ICREA Prof. Daniel Maspoch, has been recognised for his contributions to #MaterialsChemistry by the @gdch.bsky.social and the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ). 👏 Congratulations! ℹ️ More info: https://bit.ly/40yrdPT #MOFs

I'm thrilled to share my PhD work in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social, happy to expand a bit the cool BODIPY-COF library! Check out our latest work exploring the versatility of these dyes within COFs. Thank you #BeuerleGroup all the people who made it possible! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

A BODIPY‐Containing Covalent Organic Framework as a Highly Porous Photosensitizer for Environmental Remediation and Pollutants Adsorption

The direct incorporation of borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) subunits into the structural backbone of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) gives facile access to porous photosensitizers but is still a chal...

We surely know how to (re)treat ourselves! Had a great time exchanging ideas and celebrating each other right before sliding into holiday season ✨
