We have fully funded PhD positions in our group! Come join us if you’re interested in nonequilibrium chemistry, supramolecular chemistry or membranes. See https://t.co/QNkMteIQyp for more info.

Details of the two posts below. Really sorry, Uk only. (Retweets appreciated!)

Delighted to be joining @DurhamChemistry next month as a @royalsociety University Research Fellow to investigate nonequilibrium compartmentalised systems!

Grateful for the opportunity and excited to get my research off the ground.

@ANBismillah @Chem_CP @benjamino_acid @StefanBorsley @EPenocchio @ProfDaveLeigh Thanks!🤩

[Lorna Binks @LornaBinks]

Great to see one of my PhD chapters out now in @Chem_CP really enjoyed working on this project and has nicely coincided with me finishing my PhD 😃🥳 thanks to @benjamino_acid @StefanBorsley @EPenocchio @ProfDaveLeigh and Todd Gingrich!

[Ben Roberts 🇪🇺 @benjamino_acid]

Check out our latest work investigating molecular motors, published in @Chem_CP! With @ProfDaveLeigh @StefanBorsley @LornaBinks @EPenocchio and Todd Gingrich

@JGOCD @Chem_CP @benjamino_acid @StefanBorsley @EPenocchio @ProfDaveLeigh Thanks Joe!

[Dave Leigh @ProfDaveLeigh]

Our group, past & present, are delighted to be recognised with the 2023 Horizon #RSCPrize for Physical Organic Chemistry with the great @DeanAstumian & @EPenocchio & co for molecular ratcheting; the process that gives chemistry direction!😃 https://t.co/dyUF77XIqY

[Lorna Binks @LornaBinks]

@ShuntaroAmano Congratulations! 😄

[Dave Leigh @ProfDaveLeigh]

Advances in synthesis & analysis enable old claims to be reexamined with new tools🔎🕵️ In @J_A_C_S, @AndreiBaluna @AlbanoGalan @JustinTJSpence et al retrace footprints in the sands of history in search of the 1st catenane: was it molecule or merely myth? https://t.co/6XfH09FzId

[Dave Leigh @ProfDaveLeigh]

Out now in @J_A_C_S: @MartinJ_Power & @DavidTJMorris's simple rotaxane alternatives to phosphazene superbases! https://t.co/ByLYDeNlbu

[Lorna Binks @LornaBinks]

@deant94 @GerlachTabea Congratulations to you both ❤

[Lorna Binks @LornaBinks]

@FSchaufelberger @JingjingYu_Chem @MariusGaedke @EurJOC Congrats Fredrik!

[Lorna Binks @LornaBinks]

@FieldenStephen Congratulations Steve! So cute 🤩

[Stefan Borsley @StefanBorsley]

Initially a cobbled together idea for publishing a crystal of our machine, this evolved into a really interesting project.

We investigate how structural changes affect reaction rate and kinetic asymmetry, and thus performance of a machine. Top kinetics from @benjamino_acid !

[Ben Roberts 🇪🇺 @benjamino_acid]

Excited to share our latest paper out now in @J_A_C_S!

We (@StefanBorsley, @ProfDaveLeigh and I) tune the properties of an information ratchet by changing the fuel and additive we use to drive it. Thanks to Iñigo for solving the crystal structure.

Thanks @ChemistryWorld for the highlight!

The technique can rapidly and selectively prepare oligorotaxanes with a specific number and sequence of macrocyclic rings

Excited to see this work out in @J_A_C_S - low symmetry knots by social self-sorting! 🪢 With the dream team of @FSchaufelberger @ElisabethKreidt @OliviaMKnapp and Lucian in @ProfDaveLeigh lab! https://t.co/Lvog6qP6eZ
