Congratulations to Kelechi Festus from our group for getting elected as the Vice President for the ACS POLY/PSME organization at TAMU!

[Kunyu Wang, Ph.D. @KunyuWang_Chem]

📢 Our latest work on Calixarene-based MOF was finally published in @J_A_C_S !
The idea was initialized 9 years ago, when I was a second-year undergraduate student and attending Prof. Guo's Physical Chemistry course. @Guo_Group @GroupZhou

[CCDC Cambridge @ccdc_cambridge]

The CCDC team are saddened to learn that George Sheldrick has passed away.

His impact in #crystallography was immense; from the SHELX software used globally, to teaching, structures, journals, and more.
