My research group joined me in hosting Erik Sorensen (Sorensen Family), Aspen Chen (Aspen Chen), Jay Siegel, Kim Baldridge, Ken Leung & Chris Lee to a Korean BBQ dinner. It was a memorable evening talking about the contributions of chemists, past, present and future, to science.

Please check out our paper in Chem, utilizing molecular recognition to manipulate symmetry-breaking charge separation, which has the potential to achieve dynamic and fine regulation without complicated syntheses. Fraser Stoddart Northwestern Chemistry HKU Chemistry

In establishing an H2 economy the main challenge is storage of the gas. The serendipitous discovery by Ruihua Zhang (Riva)🍀 that storage in hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) marks a milestone. The article in Nature Chemistry celebrates the end of our first year The University of Hong Kong.

Thrilled to see our wholly synthetic α-L-CD appear on the list of six Molecules of the Year of 2024 selected by the Editors at C&EN. Please vote if you like it. Thank you! Fraser Stoddart Northwestern Chemistry HKU Chemistry UNSW Science Zhejiang University cen.acs.org/sections/moty-…

Yong Wu single-handedly carried out the synthesis of this unnatural cyclodextrin from L-glucose in a highly efficient manner: all kudos and congratulations to Yong on this well-earned piece of recognition C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) HKU Chemistry Northwestern Chemistry International Institute for Nanotechnology UNSW Science Zhejiang University

Thrilled to share our Nature Synthesis paper on a compact catenane with tuneable chirality! Honored to have worked with Fraser (Fraser Stoddart), whose inspiration and support guide us and live on. doi.org/10.1038/s44160…

🔗Medieval Chainmail meets Modern Materials! Our new 2D [c2]daisy chain polymer (think: molecular-scale armor!) self-assembles into chainmail-like networks. ⚡️ Breakthrough for soft robotics & smart textiles! #MaterialsScience 👉rdcu.be/ehOa6

Thrilled to share our J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper on a robust mesoporous HOF with a record 3.6 nm pore size, high surface area (2313 m²/g), and good stability! Achieves 0.31 g/g methane storage at 270 K/100 bar. Check it out: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…. Fraser Stoddart The University of Hong Kong Northwestern Chemistry

Our latest J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper is out! A 2.6 nm metal–organic pillar tubular host that shows anion-dependent chiral self-sorting and selectively recognizes long-chain “bad” saturated fatty acids over “healthy” polyunsaturated ones like DHA. 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

A seat is always reserved for Fraser Stoddart — though he is no longer with us, his presence, spirit, and friendship are felt in every presentation. We miss him deeply. Stoddart Memorial Symposium The University of Hong Kong

Happy to share the last chapter of my thesis’s story, where we have functionalized little ‘scissors’ on one side of the cyclodextrin to help it to cut boundaries and move forward on a linear track. Sincere appreciation to the reviewers for their kind suggestions!

I count myself very privileged to have an opportunity to present this Mini Review—which summarizes the Stoddart group’s 56-year journey of adventure and achievements in relation to cyclodextrins—in CCS Chemistry with input from Enxu LIU Changxia Shi 施昌霞 Fraser Stoddart.

Happy to share this mini review published in CCS Chemistry which summarizes the work of cyclodextrins in the Stoddart group. Thanks to Yong and Changxia for their support in completing this work. 🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂 Fraser Stoddart
