How do you make metal cations interact? Easy - just lock them in a pyrrolic cage! In our new paper just published in Inorganic Chemistry we show metallophilicity under molecular confinement! @ncn.gov.pl

Bernd, it was truly fantastic that you found time to visit Wroclaw. Hope you have nice memories of your time in Poland and see you soon! :)

Couldn’t wish for better guests! I’ve had so much fun hosting you guys in Wroclaw. See you next time :-)

Strain-Controlled Synthesis of [n]Catenanes from Dipyrromethane-Stoppered Rotaxanes The synthesis of rotaxanes featuring two dipyrromethane stoppers, which differ in thread length and rigidity, is presented. The condensation of the precursor rotaxanes with acetone was found to be inf...

New paper now out in OrgLett!
Here we demonstrate that that the synthesis of calix[4]phyrin-based [n]catenanes critically depends on the geometric features of the dipyrromethane-stoppered rotaxane substrate.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on a project funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation on dynamic peptide self-assembly.

I’d appreciate adding me.

Congrats @jakeylg.bsky.social!

Thank you to @szyszkobart.bsky.social for organising such a great trip! And it was excellent to hear about all the work being done in Wroclaw, and meeting you @siliconcage.bsky.social 😀 Great science, nice company, good food and amazing beer 🍺

🇵🇱🫶🇺🇦

Had an amazing time visiting the Chemistry Department at Wroclaw university and exploring the beautiful city of Wroclaw! Huge thanks to @szyszkobart.bsky.social for the kind invitation and warm welcome in 🇵🇱.

We are recruiting!!!
One fully funded position for PhD student (48 months) is available under the Preludium BIS NCN grant. The selected candidate will conduct research on the use of iminopyrrole self-assembly for constructing new cages and macrocycles. More information:

The Interplay Between Component Denticity and Flexibility Promotes the Formation of [AgI···AgI]−stabilised Links and Knots A subtle interplay between the flexibility of the 2,2’-bipyridyl-based diamine and the denticity of the coordination domain formed upon self-assembly enabled the formation of four distinct topologies...

Now that’s official - @angewandtechemie.bsky.social makes the best Christmas gifts 🎁
In our new paper (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....) we show how to make knots🪢 and links🔗 using Ag-Ag 🥈 pairs as template, instead of a single metal cations.

Awesome! 😍
