How can Le Chatelier drive kinetics? Stefan Borsley and I analyse Denton's organocatalytic Mitsunobu reaction and show water removal outperforms catalyst redesigns. Why? Removing water part way through the reaction resets the potential energy surface! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

We’re in Kyoto for #ISMSC2025! Check out poster P1B_108 by Aurelia Pastor, featuring aza-Pechmann-derived [2]rotaxanes. Curious about thermal stability, UV-vis absorption shifts, or intriguing mechanical bond effects? Come chat with us today! @ismsc2025

Great to share our latest findings on the intriguing effects of the mechanical bond from SOC-UMU Lab at #ISMSC2025 in Kyoto! Big thanks to Yagai Group, Tomoki Ogoshi, and Akine for organizing this awesome symposium!

Great pleasure to be at the University of Ljubljana univerzalj showing some of our latest results of SOC-UMU Lab at Universidad Murcia. Thanks Prof. Kristof Kranjc for the invitation and warm hospitality.

Cool time at Ljubljana University with superchameleonic isocyanides! Erasmus-PDI Universidad Murcia univerzalj SOC-UMU Lab
