Great people and good food at Sandra´s farewell party 🥳Looking forward to seeing you again after your parental leave🤰 Goodbye to Sandra and a very warm welcome to the new #grk2376 coordinator Thea!🙌

Our GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" member Thais is currently enjoying her research stay Colorado State University in the lab of NancyLevinger, who she met during our 2nd International Symposium on Confinement-Controlled Chemistry in 2022. Have fun, Thais! 🤩👩‍🔬 #chemistry #usa #womeninstem

Seen some lit-up UFOs 🛸 last night? May have been our #just_accepted work in Angewandte Chemie where Kristina, Elie Benchimol and Co. 👽 report #CPL from the first PdnLnL‘n (n=3,4) heteroleptic rings and saddles! @GRK2376 Solvation Science doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

We still have open positions in our Research Training Group! 🎓✨ We look forward to receiving many applications! 📄😊 Find more details below! 👇jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/41f…

Congrats to GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" member Sanjana for her first paper as first author! 🥳😍 #proud

Can crystalline confinement help catch arylalkylcarbenes that have proven elusive in solution? Read up on the collaborative efforts of GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" member Julien Rowen and GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" alumni @schleiftim during Julien's research stay in @garibaylab UCLA Chem & Biochem: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

The third generation of PhD students came together for the first annual meeting of #GRK2376. Hands-on session with Prof. Dr. Guido Clever. Building coordination cages and advancing chemistry under confinement! 🧪

🎉 Exciting update! One of our talented PhD students Elie Benchimol has a new paper in Angewandte Chemie: "Ring-Size Control and Guest-Induced Circularly Polarized Luminescence in Heteroleptic Pd3A3B3 and Pd4A4B4 Assemblies." Congratulations to Elie, Clever Lab, and all involved! 👏

I defended my PhD after 4 years at Clever Lab's lab last Friday. It still doen't feel exactly real, what a day it was! Thanks to Prof. A. Lützen for agreeing to be my co-examinator, and everyone who helped my over the course of all those eventful years of study😁

Elie (Elie Benchimol) strikes again! In this collaborative work with Alexandre (Alexandre Walther) and of course Weichao Xue, they reveal how flexible ZnII₄L₄ cages enable stereochemical communication with low-symmetry guests. Congratulations to all involved! 🥳🎉

Clever Lab It was one hell of a ride getting everything together. I would like to deeply thank Gers Tusha from GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" for performing the heavy computational work present here. Thanks also to everyone who supported me during this time, and I hope you enjoy reading it!

💥 Full power of GRK collaboration between experiment & theory! Check out the new JACS paper Solvent-Directed Social Chiral Self-Sorting in Pd₂L₄ Coordination Cages by Alexandre and Björn from Clever Lab's group & Gers from Lars Schäfer's group! 🚀

🚨 New paper alert! David Ocklenburg (David Ocklenburg) from David Van Craen's group introduces a charge-neutral L₂Zn₂ metallocontainer that binds oxalate with high selectivity and stability! Big step in molecular recognition of dicarboxylates while preserving the receptor. 🧪

See how the solvent fine-tunes the chiral self-sorting of a coordination cage! Alexandre Walther reports in J. Am. Chem. Soc. how individual DMSO or MeCN molecules form H-bonds between neighboring ligands, selecting for a specific isomer. @GRK2376 Solvation Science doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

🚨#JustAccepted in Angewandte Chemie🚨 Our PhDs Elie Benchimol, Bjorn & Nicola Bogo, in collab with Helen O'Connor ⚗️, developed chiral nano-capsules that bind fullerenes (C60/C70), inducing circular dichroism via host-guest interactions. Congrats to Clever Lab & all involved!
