Dear colleagues, it’s time to say goodbye—not to research, but to X.
We’ve had a great time here, sharing good science and engaging with an incredible community. Thank you to everyone who has collaborated with us and made this space so enriching.

🚨 🚨 🚨Another great contribution from @elie_bench et al. is now published! This study introduces a heteromeric multicage system achieving thermodynamic guest segregation, opening doors to applications in chemical separations and molecular processing. Check it out in @J_A_C_S:

Check #JustAccepted in @J_A_C_S how @elie_bench controls a complex system of homo- and heteroleptic coordination cages to segregate three different guests in solution. @TU_Dortmund, with @PabloBallesterB from @ICIQchem

🚨#JustAccepted in @angew_chem🚨

Our PhDs @elie_bench, Bjorn & @BogoNicola, in collab with @HelzOConnor ⚗️, developed chiral nano-capsules that bind fullerenes (C60/C70), inducing circular dichroism via host-guest interactions.

Congrats to @guido_clever & all involved!

Results of a beautiful collab with @ThorriGunnlaugs Dublin and C. Stein @TU_Muenchen #JustAccepted in @angew_chem 🎉 @elie_bench @HelzOConnor @BogoNicola show a Tröger base Pd2L4 cage as small chiral host inducing CD on fullerenes

See how the solvent fine-tunes the chiral self-sorting of a coordination cage!
@AlexWalthChem reports in @J_A_C_S how individual DMSO or MeCN molecules form H-bonds between neighboring ligands, selecting for a specific isomer.

🚨 New paper alert! David Ocklenburg (@OcklenburgDavid) from @DavidVanCraen's group introduces a charge-neutral L₂Zn₂ metallocontainer that binds oxalate with high selectivity and stability! Big step in molecular recognition of dicarboxylates while preserving the receptor. 🧪

[David Ocklenburg @OcklenburgDavid]

Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between and outside. With this I proudly present you my first research paper in the group of @DavidVanCraen. Thanks to @chemieverband and @grk2376 for the financial support. https://t.co/HFzjgRM706

@guido_clever It was one hell of a ride getting everything together. I would like to deeply thank Gers Tusha from @grk2376 for performing the heavy computational work present here. Thanks also to everyone who supported me during this time, and I hope you enjoy reading it!

[GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" @grk2376]

Elie (@elie_bench) strikes again! In this collaborative work with Alexandre (@AlexWalthChem) and of course @weichao_xue, they reveal how flexible ZnII₄L₄ cages enable stereochemical communication with low-symmetry guests. Congratulations to all involved! 🥳🎉

I defended my PhD after 4 years at @guido_clever's lab last Friday. It still doen't feel exactly real, what a day it was! Thanks to Prof. A. Lützen for agreeing to be my co-examinator, and everyone who helped my over the course of all those eventful years of study😁

🎉 Exciting update! One of our talented PhD students @elie_bench has a new paper in @angew_chem: "Ring-Size Control and Guest-Induced Circularly Polarized Luminescence in Heteroleptic Pd3A3B3 and Pd4A4B4 Assemblies." Congratulations to Elie, @guido_clever, and all involved! 👏
