I still have one PhD position available for Oct 2026 - see below for more details.

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!

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

Cool stuff Charlie, congrats to you and the team.

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

Well done @zarikyusaf.bsky.social 🥳

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...

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

Low Symmetry Cage Complexes Formed by Metalation of Symmetric Hexa‐Cationic Organic Cages Threefold symmetric hexa-cationic hydrazone cages coordinate a range of transition metal ions upon deprotonation. When the cage contains ethyl solubilising groups the expected threefold symmetric cag...

We have a new paper out with Annie Colebatch: we metalate 6+ hydrazone cages to give M3-cage metallocages with coordinatively unsaturated metal ions. Et solubilising groups give expected 3-fold symmetric metallocages. OMe or OPr give funky low-symmetry cages tinyurl.com/4ehppaex.

And congratulations to Paulina who, the very next day, won a poster prize at the School of Chemistry's Postgraduate Symposium!

Cam looking ecstatic to be giving a poster presentation on his PhD work.

Paulina giving a talk entitled Coordination Sphere Engineering in Low Symmetry Metal Organic Cages with a lovely crystal structure of one of her cages shown on the title slide.

Proud of Cam and Paulina who recently presented their PhD work at the ECR @rsc-masc.bsky.social meeting in Oxford. Hopefully you'll be able to read about both of these projects in a journal near you soon! #chemsky

Thanks Steve!

Awesome #ismsc2025 lecture from my @uobchemistry.bsky.social colleague @lewischemistry.bsky.social on controlling the formation of low symmetry cages by understanding subtle interactions. Beautiful science presented using beautiful slides (as ever)!

Getting stuck into Kyoto and looking forward to the start of #ismsc2025 #chemsky

My tour of Tokyo continues with another great day discussing chemistry with staff and students in Ookayama, hosted by Professor Kei Goto #chemsky

I had a great day hosted by Prof. Michito Yoshizawa and his group at Institute of Science Tokyo. It was wonderful to hear about the amazing science this group is doing and to present some of things we've been up to lately. #chemsky

Poznań market square with terraced buildings all painted different colours.

Poznań cathedral - a beautiful red brick building with either side topped with copper turrets.

Jamie and Artur in the market square with colourful buildings behind them.

A great visit to Poznań and Adam Mickiewicz University. Such a beautiful city and amazing campus. Thanks so much to Artur Stefankiewicz for the invite, the scientific discussions and the outstanding hospitality #chemsky
