Anion binding community: read our story on the impact of EWGs that are 8! bonds away from a C(sp3)-H binding site in bambusuril macrocycles Angewandte Chemie. 🏆Log(Ka)=13 for I- in acetonitrile.🏆 Great work by PhD student Matus Chvojka, co-supervised with Vladimir Sindelar.

Great to see Alessio Cataldo turn into a Dr at the end of his 4-year PhD journey. Also a great occasion to re-unite several of the postdocs and PhD students that are/have been working on anion transport in our Engineering of Molecular NanoSystems over the past 5 years.😊 #proudsupervisor

We had two great days at the Belgian coastal town Blankenberge with Organic Chemistry colleagues from all over Belgium and Georgios Vassilikogiannakis and Marc Vendrell DYNAFLUORS joining from Crete and Edinburgh. Thanks to Annemieke Madder for organising this MOCS!

Great lecture at the UNamur chemistry department by Dr. Roy Lavendomme (@frsFNRS researcher Université libre de Bruxelles) on supramolecular chemistry. Interesting software molovol.com for volume and surface computations of single molecules and crystallographic unit cells.

Thanks to the Langton Research Group group for hosting us in Oxford! It was great to meet in person, enjoy the presentations at our joint symposium, and discuss the results from the exchanges funded by the Wiener Anspach foundation.

📢 New Publication Analysis & Sensing: The Lucigenin Assay! The tutorial-type article on anion transport in Liposomes from Hennie Valkenier 👩‍🔬 group. Congrats to the first-author Matúš Chvojka, co-supervised by Prof. Vladimír Šindelář and other co-authors! doi.org/10.1002/anse.2…

It’s hot!

Transporting phosphate across lipid bilayers using a neutral anion receptor turned out a be quite a challenge, but Alessio Cataldo and Karolis Norvaiša managed to get it to work, using a probe of Samantha Bodman and Stephen Butler. Read the story in JACS: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3…

Transfer of conformational information with #squaramides ! Very proud of this work recently accepted in Angewandte Chemie and developed as a MarieSkłodowskaCurie Fellow in the group of Prof. Simon Webb The University of Manchester UoM Chemistry Manchester Institute of Biotechnology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We have had a great time at the #ISMSC2023 conference in Iceland with our EMNS lab delegation+Roy Lavendomme from Université libre de Bruxelles. Thanks a lot to Palli Thordarson Thorri Gunnlaugsson and Krishna ISMSC2023 for inviting us to your beautiful country!

Very happy to have shared my science in this nice symposium, and to have learned about plenty of supramolecular systems Bienal Química Zaragoza 2023. Thank you again to the organization team.
