📣 PhD position now open for Oct 2026 start based at @imperialchemistry.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/PhDFDF. An interdisciplinary project combining experimental & computational materials discovery in a collaborative Royal Society-funded team. Co-supervised by @beckylgreenaway.bsky.social.

That’s all folks! Thanks to everyone involved in organising these fantastic 2 days @openuniversity.bsky.social. Hope everybody had a great time with all the stimulating science. Happy Christmas 🎄and see you next year in……Sheffield! #MASC2025 #RSC_MASC

great to see @fschaufelberger.bsky.social present our recent work on our lanthanide chelate rotaxane emitters pioneered by @anjaramstrom.bsky.social! 📡💡 and a sneak peek into the main work of my postdoc too 😉 #MASC2025

Come and join us at Birmingham making cages for catalysis. We have a fully funded PhD studentship (UK home fees only) to start in 2026. Very happy to discuss this project, which can be tailored to suit a candidate's interests. Please get in touch if you are interested #chemsky

Massive congratulations to @zarikyusaf.bsky.social who passed his PhD viva today 🎉🎉 Big thanks to examiners @charliemcternan.bsky.social and Ramon Vilar, and to co-supervisor @lewischemistry.bsky.social who made the trek down for the big event!

Congratulations to Paulina who has just published her first first author paper from her PhD doi.org/10.1039/D5SC... and her #MyFirstChemSci @chemicalscience.rsc.org looking at coordination sphere interactions driving isomer selectivity in heteroleptic cages with low-symmetry ligands

Coordination sphere interactions drive isomer selection in heteroleptic Pd(II) cages with low-symmetry ligands

The targeted formation of low-symmetry coordination cages represents a significant design challenge but offers the potential to engineer bespoke molecular hosts with precision. In this work, we have c...
