Great work! Congratulations!

Click chemistry is useful for polymer synthesis. But the product can‘t be depolymerized. We solved this issue by using TEAC reaction to make triazolinyl polymers which can be denitrogenated to hydrolysable imine polymer. This is a landmark contribution doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

RT appreciated: My lab is recruiting several Ph.D.s and Postdocs excited to build synthetic cells that undergo Darwinian evolution. The backgrounds that we need for include biochemistry, synthetic biology, and systems chemistry. Details: boekhovenlab.com/openings/

Here is our latest paper in JACS. We have exploited the Diels-Alder reaction, in the solid state, for the topochemical synthesis of a syndiotactic polymer. This is the first use of Diels-Alder reaction for the topochemical polymerization. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The reaction is exo only, which is typically less preferred at room temperature for these partners

Thanks for highlighting our paper

Excited to share our newest discovery of #diazetidines as #MOST☀️energy storage systems with over 0.3 MJ/kg density🔋 now on ⁦Chemical Science⁩ Proud of the work of ⁦Hân⁩ ⁦Brandeis Chemistry Department⁩🌟 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our latest paper! In this paper, we report a light induced strengthening of an organogel. A monomer gel upon irradiation undergoes topochemical polymerisation to a semiconducting polymer which makes a stronger gel than the monomer gel. doi.org/10.1002/cphc.2…

Thank you

Back-to-back papers by an author are not so common. Here is an issue of JACS ( JACS, 1978, 100, 22, 6801 onwards) with a series of 18 papers by Josef Michl. This is something landmark! JACS could have dedicated the whole issue to his papers !

I just received the latest issue of Chemistry world. On Page 34 , Sir Fraser Stoddart explained about his life after winning the Nobel Prize! He travelled 365000 miles! Sadly we lost this amazing and down-to-earth person yesterday.

doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… Here is our latest paper. Here, we made a bioinspired polymer taking cue from collagen sequence. This polymer can glue hydrophilic surfaces. Like in 2023, we published 10 papers in 2024 too! Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.- 4 JACS-3 Nat. Commun.-2 ChemPhysChem-1

#30 Angewandte Chemie! In this paper, we show that a peptide polymer can be made, via TAAC polymerisation, in two different polymorphic forms; one with beta-sheet-like packing and the other one with helical packing. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Great to see the post by MoE on the achievements of my Institute

Binding hydrophilic molecules is challenging due to high hydration energy. So why not bind them with their water? Our work (the Cai group at USF and us) shows a flexible proline cage capturing fluoride along with its hydration shell with strong affinity. nature.com/articles/s4146…

For years, the origin of homochirality (why life uses D-sugars & L-amino acids) has baffled scientists. Our new paper in 长欣 赵 reveals how achiral molecules can form the chiral polymers that likely seeded life! A game-changer for abiogenesis research! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…
