We are proud to announce the appointment of Professor Sir Fraser STODDART, a distinguished chemist and Nobel Laureate, as a Chair Professor in the Department of Chemistry, HKU Faculty of Science! bit.ly/3r1FQMH Fraser Stoddart

WELCOMING WORLD-RENOWNED CHEMIST: #HKU is proud to announce the appointment of Fraser Stoddart, a distinguished chemist and Nobel Laureate, as Chair Professor in the Department of Chemistry, HKU_Science. Details at go.hku.hk/pr26533

I am glad to share our latest article published in Organic Materials : Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Highly Twisted N-Doped Heptalene. Check it out here: thieme-connect.de/products/ejour…

Quinoidal rylenes or aromatic pyrenacenes? We report the facile synthesis of several bis-peri-dinaphtho-rylenes via a simple radical-mediated coupling approach and their unique electronic structure. Paper was just published Angewandte Chemie : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

We had a nice dinner and fruitful discussion. Thanks a lot for your support Fraser Stoddart; and also thank you Jishan Wu, wonderful talk and amazing molecules, always, learned a lot from your lecture.

Synthesis, Structures, and Chiroptical Properties of NBN-Doped #Helicenes with Boron Atoms in the Inner Rims By Zhaohui Wang, Junzhi Liu et al Tsinghua University Junzhi Liu The University of Hong Kong 🔓 Open access in Precision Chemistry 👉 go.acs.org/7ni

Great collaboration with @QMADClab, thank you all who have contributed to this nice work.

From this week's covers: the authors report a family of nonalternant nanographenes containing a nitrogen (N)-doped cyclopenta[ef]heptalene unit. Read the full article to learn more ➡️ go.acs.org/9Rr
