@nprscottsimon My father at 103 has clear memories of his service in the Navy at Londonderry, Northern Ireland, where they outfitted ships with radar equipment. He would be a good person to interview!

@NUChemistry @DukeChemistry @Cornell @PopMech The holy grail, molecular chainmail. Fraser would be proud.

@ajavestro After some difficult times in the earlier years, Fraser and I learned to work together extremely closely. I loved supporting our wonderful group members like yourself. Alyssa photo: Dancing in the Golden Hall after the Nobel banquet. The experience of a lifetime in Stockholm!

Today I celebrated Fraser in a small way by dining at an Australian cafe near his NU-Chicago office and ordering poached pears (on pancakes), one of the special desserts he liked making for group gatherings at his Evanston home. And I echo the words, Thanks Fraser for everything!

@ChemistryViews @ChemEurope This was Fraser's favorite photo, taken by Jim Prisching on October 5, 2016 near the Research Palace (his word for the lab) following Northwestern's press conference that morning celebrating the Nobel. He selected the tie as representing the chemistry of the mechanical bond.

As tributes pour in for Fraser Stoddart from around the world, we add our sympathy and love to Ali and all his family, friends, students and collaborators.

Read his reflection in @ChemistryWorld, on the whirlwind experience of becoming a Nobel laureate

@NUChemistry @NorthwesternU Thank you, Omar, for the beautiful remembrance on the NU Chemistry website.

I will miss Fraser a great deal. Today marks 17 years since I became his personal assistant, and what a run it has been! We worked hard and also loved to joke around a wee bit. Best job I could ever have hoped for.

What a terrible loss. I had the good fortune of meeting him during my postdoc at UC-Berkeley. At Birmingham then, at dinner he lambasted British higher ed – ALWAYS opinionated, and usually correct. A giant of supramolecular and novel aromatic chemistry – may he rest in peace.

[Margaret Schott @meschott]

Colleagues, Students, Postdocs, Collaborators and Friends of Sir Fraser Stoddart @sirfrasersays: I am writing with the sad news that Fraser passed away suddenly on 31 Dec (Australia time) while on holiday with family. No details yet on any services.

[CCDC Cambridge @ccdc_cambridge]

Researchers from @NorthwesternU have investigated charge transfer dynamics in supramolecular tessellations, exemplified by the tris(naphthalenediimide)-pyrene co-crystal CSD entry SUJVUS, here disguised as a Christmas tree.

@NUChemistry @whoisBMH Recently wrote an article on the origin of the Safety-First movement in the U.S. in the early 1900s.

Congratulations @MercouriK

[SigmaXi @SigmaXiSociety]

More photo highlights of sessions and talks from last week's IFoRE conference. Thanks again to all of the sponsors, speakers, students, judges, and scientists for making it an unforgettable event. See you next fall in Niagara Falls!

@awhspeed Wedge-bond from S to t-butyl group should be reversed

@J_A_C_S @uoCHandBIC @UOKnightCampus @Univ_Of_Oregon Congratulations, Jasti Group, that's quite a hydrocarbon! With three extendable arms it might be possible to form interlocked structures.

@MichelleFrancl @Nature A brilliant review - thank you for writing it. And happy Physics Nobel Day. Curie's first visit to the US (on which I gave an ACS talk) included stops here in Evanston and Chicago.
