A small progress on chiral metal organic cages. Hopefully we can get some more exciting results along this direction in the future. Han Han

We are making novel carbon nanorings embedded with cyclooctatetraene (COT) units in an efficient manner. This work is potentially the starting point for the chemical synthesis of Carbon Schwarzite, a hypothetical carbon allotrope with negative surfaces.

Another masterpiece from Yong Wu 👍👍👍

Very cool!

Read it. A very well written News & Views. Thanks.

Special thanks go to Professor Sophie Beeren for this News & Views piece in Nature Synthesis . It's very well written and I have enjoyed reading it! Fraser Stoddart

The century old cyclodextrins finally got their mirror-images! Please check our latest Research Article in Nature Synthesis. We hope the introduction of L-CDs, as we call them—in an efficient and scalable manner—might be useful for the community. Fraser Stoddart HKU Chemistry

For those who are into the history of chemical compounds here is a summary of a few of synthesis-related milestones for cyclodextrins produced by Yong Wu. The University of Hong Kong Northwestern Northwestern Chemistry The University of Texas at Arlington

We were all very happy to welcome Yunyan Qiu from NUS Chemistry on a fleeting visit to the RPG The University of Hong Kong HKU Chemistry on his way from Singapore to Evanston IL. Northwestern Chemistry Northwestern

Many hands make light work. This afternoon, we put our spades to work in our rooftop garden at the RPG and created a couple of beds in which we planted tomatoes, strawberries and bok choy before watering the plants. Good exercise and a lot of fun into the bargain. The University of Hong Kong
