Please check out our recent @J_A_C_S paper: when a macrocycle is too large for guest encapsulation, it can be suitable for creating discrete molecular interfaces with molecular-scale physical properties in single cocrystals. https://t.co/ieIybjd7ah

New paper out in Nature Communications (https://t.co/RBCHpyWYlp)! Using high-res STM, we uncover intrinsic polymerisation defects in aldol condensation-derived conjugated polymers. A fantastic collaboration with the groups of @_iainmcculloch and Jian Pei

[Peking University @PKU1898]

It was a regular autumn afternoon in 2017 at #PKU—until a spark of inspiration struck during Prof. Pei Jian’s Organic Chemistry lecture.💡Eight years on, that classroom epiphany has evolved into an exciting breakthrough in scalable organic circuits. #PKUResearch @Nature @PKU_CCME

My group and I have always wondered if it would be possible to arrest the lateral growth of one-dimensional crystals and grow longer nanowires. Here, we show that Pierls-like dimerization in NbS3 promotes the 1D growth of nanowires with lengths approaching the cm-scale! (1/3)

As solid state chemists, it is rare that we get to emulate structural motifs found in nature in our synthetic crystals. Appearing in @NatureMaterials, we report our discovery of a new all-inorganic helical material. @UCIChemistry @UCIPhysSci @UCIrvine (1/4)

[Maxx Arguilla @MaxxSolidChem]

Excited to share our work, now appearing in @J_A_C_S, on the synthesis of an all-inorganic 1D van der Waals helical crystal that is non-centrosymmetric and displays an unusual “squircular��� (it’s a real word!) tetrahelix cross-section @UCIChemistry (1/3)
