Remember the world record diamond model from #IUCr2023? It's now part of 750 Crystal Explorer Kits we're giving away FREE to *primary* schools in regional and remote Australia and NZ. Details and order form here: braggyourpattern.com/crystal-explor…. #ozchem #elementsets #outreach #SciComm

Kits include all the components necessary to make one of four structures, and a 56 page booklet. Please note that it's only available to primary and combined schools with primary aged kids, and only in regional, rural and remote areas.

It's early days yet, but here's the distribution map so far!

Congratulations to Len Lindoy, just recognised with an AO in the Kings Birthday Honours List! Very well deserved. #ozchem

Giving this a little retweet in honour of Len's excellent AO award today... #ozchem

Perhaps the most applied research we've done, demonstrating that simple glycol/water mixtures can be transformed into high-performance anti-icing systems using simple molecular gelators. This is a cost-effective approach that may lower glycol usage. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The previous #ChemEd #Chemistry summaries provided the background for org rcts (except the acid/base 1 which is THE most important org rct). Here are curly arrows, the last thing I need before starting reactions! It's a summary, more details elsewhere makingmolecules.com/blog/curlyarrow

Our paper on light-driven lithium extraction is now online! This marks my fourth contribution from Cambridge. Previously, we demonstrated the selective separation of progesterone, an important steroid, from similar compounds. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excited to share our latest work now out in Chem! A functionnalized CD that moves unidirectionally by actively opening the way in only one direction. Huge thanks to Enxu LIU and all the team! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
