In this year, commemorating the 20th anniversary of Graphene's discovery, we present a sustainable bottom-up chemical synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by upcycling of biomass. @sirfrasersays@naturesustainab https://t.co/9A9k35feXG
Supramolecular chemistry of collarenes—Collarenes are belt-shaped hydrocarbons composed of fused benzenoid and 1,4-cyclohexadiene rings, offering a fascinating platform for supramolecular chemistry. In a new study reported in @J_A_C_S, Zhang, Guo, Huang et al. demonstrate multimodal complexation between [20]collarene and a range of fullerenes, leveraging the host’s rigid yet adaptable cavity. The resulting host–guest complexes exhibit promising ultrafast charge separation and a remarkably stable charge-separated state. Full article:

Thrilled to spotlight Professor Harry Anderson's breakthrough in in synthesizing triple-stranded porphyrin nanobelts—ideal models for quantum rings! Another significant milestone in the field of molecular nanobelts! @HLAGroupOx@TrendsChemistry https://t.co/lDNUVX6nas
It is our privilege to highlight this groundbreaking breakthrough by Professor Harry Anderson @HLAGroupOx and Yueze Gao, combining novel carbon allotropes with Fraser's mechanical bonds. A true scientific milestone!
@Andrew_Sue@Tsinghua_Uni@sirfrasersays@HLAGroupOx Thank you for your post, Andrew. I am striving to continue Fraser’s Legacy by delving into research on mechanically interlocked structures and carbon allotropes
A beautiful piece of work on mechanical chirality, enhancing the powerful functions of Fraser's benchmark "little blue box"! Congratulations to Chun and Ruihua!
Thrilled to share our @NatureSynthesis paper on a compact catenane with tuneable chirality! Honored to have worked with Fraser (@sirfrasersays), whose inspiration and support guide us and live on. https://t.co/y7KWIjktiV
Single-crystalline 2D mechanically interlocked materials: A robust dynamic [c2] daisy chain network. As always, an impressive structure from the SOFA group!
Six decades after the landmark discovery of crown ethers, we proudly introduce CrownBind-IA, a machine learning model that accurately predicting binding constants between crown ethers and alkali metal ions. We are harnessing AI to tackle challenges in supramolecular chemistry.
Dedicated to the memory of Fraser.
This preview in @Matter_CP highlights a study in which
@HuiGuo8, @sirfrasersays and the team ingeniously introduced a one-step dehydration-condensation reaction to upcycle biomass into reduced graphene oxide: https://t.co/KOQKmkWoxW . Congrats!
It is difficult to believe, and I am still struggling to accept the reality that Fraser is no longer with us. I have been looking at his photos, trying to refresh my memory. A brilliant scientist, a supportive mentor, and a warm friend—your absence is keenly felt. RIP,Fraser.
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide.

Following @sirfrasersays Fraser's pioneering research on [12]Collarene nearly 40 years ago and building upon Prof. Mei-Xiang Wang's "stitching up fjords" strategy, controlled growth of Carbon Nanotubes with Collarene templates was achieved. https://t.co/TZ6UGTltXc
Engaged in a notably productive collaboration with Prof. Yue Hu from Wenzhou University and Prof. Feihe Huang from Zhejiang University. We, as organic chemists, are advancing towards the precise synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes using a strategic approach "from nanobelt to nanotube."
