Time is ticking to apply for a fully funded PhD studentship in my group at @DurhamChemistry. We're aiming to use organic chemistry to develop catalysts and sensors to rival enzymes. Retweets please! findaphd.com/phds/project/sy…

Meso-meso linked 18 and 36 porphyrin nanorings synthesised by template-directed synthesis. The 18-ring mimics the B850 ring in light-harvesting system 2 and exhibits efficient energy transfer between porphyrin units. Out now in @angew_chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

HLA group moves into expanded porphyrinoids, namely the T-rex-aphrins
New PPE guidelines from the safety office are raising some eyebrows @OxfordChemistry 🦖

Excited to share this work in collaboration with @huimintay2! Interlocked [2]catenane mobile carriers display enhanced activity and selectivity relative to component macrocycles for halide transmembrane transport.💍🔗🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♂️ @OxfordChemistry thanks @ExeterCollegeOx @royalsociety

Published in Science, we report a way to prepare fluorochemicals directly from fluorspar without HF. 2 years ago we thought this was impossible. Made a reality thanks to our incredible team @Oxchemmike @BrowneGroup @GroupAldridge @Fluo_Rok @bobbypaton and lots of ball milling!
We are thrilled to share a new HF-free technology that converts fluorspar to fluorochemicals. Enormous congratulations to the amazing team of chemists who made this recurring dream a reality! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… @CalumPatel @ScienceMagazine @OxfordChemistry @Fluo_Rok

Happy to present first paper of my PhD in @HLAGroupOx and seventh overall 😍 I think both CPP and porphyrin people are going to like it 😊 A lot of inspiration taken from previous works of Osuka and @mvdelius . (1/3) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Branching out: redox strategies towards the synthesis of acyclic α-tertiary ethers – our latest review out now in @ChemSocRev! A massive collaborative effort by members of the @OxfordSynthesis SBM CDT 2020 Cohort and our own @benshennan11. Well done all! doi.org/10.1039/D1CS00669J

Check out a draft of new @nanohoops work on @ChemRxiv rb.gy/snlcfz This active template method provides access to a wide array of mechanically interlocked pi-conjugated structures - opens up a lot of possibilities for the field. Congrats to James, Jeff, and Ruth!
