We now have Lei Chen from Guillaume De Bo showing us a rotaxane actuator for force-controlled release of small molecules #ECRMASC2024

The BCB mechanophore pulls a new trick with the mechanochemical generation of aryne! Great work by Qianqian now in Chemical Science and celebrating The University of Manchester 200th anniversary🎂 #UoM200 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Carps in pond, pulling strong, broken bonds. A beautiful watercolour by Qianqian highlights her recent paper on the back cover of Chemical Science ! Cover: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Read the paper here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

This cover image in Chemical Science gets one of my personal shout-outs for excellent images! And it was created by the first author of the paper, Qianqian! I am in awe of your talent with watercolours. Read the science that inspired the art here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

NEW in Chemical Science Mechanochemical generation of aryne by Guillaume De Bo et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D4SC03… 📌 #ChemSciCovers

‘This is a first for mechanochemistry, being able to generate this aryne, and what’s really exciting is that the reactivity we observe is completely different from the thermal reactivity’ chemistryworld.com/news/force-sen…

#OnThisDay The University of Manchester was officially founded. The Victoria University of Manchester and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) merged to form the largest single-site university in the UK. #UoM200

We have a lectureship position open in the inorganic section UoM Chemistry if you want to come and start your independent career in a great department. jobs.ac.uk/job/DKI752/lec…

The newly launched Fielden Research Group (fieldengroup.net) has two open funded PhD studentships! UoBChemistry Group members will learn loads, from organic synthesis to microscopy. Please get in touch if you'd like to know more. RT much appreciated! Details below:

Our Institute has an opening for a junior group leader, in any area of chemistry: shorturl.at/NtE9F That's how I started my group, and I think it's a wonderful opportunity.
