📢 I'm so happy to share that I've joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Saskatchewan as an Assistant Professor. I’m very grateful to everyone who has helped me to get here: my family, mentors, friends, and colleagues. Looking forward to all the exciting chemistry to come! 🧪
#CSC2025 was the last one for me as a member of the MacLachlan Group - I couldn’t be prouder of this amazing team! It was a fantastic experience: I got to spend time with the crew, reconnect with old friends, and make some new ones too!"
Seeing lots of friends at #CSC2025, and very happy to run into @miguelsoto.bsky.social, who will be joining the faculty of the Chemistry department @usask.bsky.social in two weeks!

Our latest work, led by group alumnus Youzhi Xu is dedicated to the memory of Fraser Stoddart! In May, I asked him about his favourite molecule made in his lab. After a while, he said: the "Olympiadane" ABCBA-type [5]catenane. @damabilino.bsky.social #chemsky onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Ring‐in‐Ring Assembly Facilitates the Synthesis of a [12]Cycloparaphenylene ABC‐Type [3]Catenane
By threading a secondary ammonium salt through the crown ether and closing the third ring via CuAAC click reaction, we obtained a rare ABC-type hetero-[3]catenane comprising [12]CPP, 24-crown-8 and a...
