More #glycotime with Sophie Beeren and a nice lecture about the dynamic combinatorial approach to cyclodextrins Supr@Paris 2024

Thanks for organizing my 82nd Birthday Party, Ken, for me and my research group and a few visitors including DJ Kim from UNSW and your sister serenading us on her harp.

This paper describes a concise synthetic approach for the scalable preparation of a photoaffinity FBP probe that enables the quantitative chemoproteomic profiling of FBP–protein interactions based on photoaffinity labeling (PAL) directly in living cells. J. Am. Chem. Soc. #Chemistry

Please check out our paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on Tf-regulated chemically recyclable polymer, which inherently exhibit enhanced thermodynamic stability as the temperature increases, overcoming the long-standing challenge of instability that typically associated with Tc-regulated ones.

Thank you for your very kind words! Although it is my first experience attending the International Cyclodextrin Symposium (ICS), I enjoyed interacting with the community. So much interesting science as well.

No surprise to me, Yong. I told you before you left Hong Kong for Dunkirk that your talk would be well received and it was. Congratulations!

Great news, finding sugars so far away.... I really hope this is not another "phosphine on Venus" kind of situation #glycotime

π-Interaction-driven molecular assembly to form π-diamonds using chair-shape molecules as building blocks. Congratulations to the creative Westlake team! Zhichang Liu I am wondering when and how can we see similar research outcome using carbohydrates as scaffolds.

I was bullied for the first two decades of my academic career at Sheffield. This experience has left me absolutely determined to call out bullies wherever I meet them round the globe. More often than not the bullies turn out to be cowards.

International collaborative research team co-led by Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart @HKU Department of Chemistry links L-glucopyranosyl monosaccharides to produce α-, β-, and γ-L-cyclodextrins, making the cover of Nature Synthesis. hku.hk/press/press-re…

For the past 16 years (2008-2023) my research group & I had the great good fortune to work very closely with Charlotte Stern. Our many collaborations with Charlotte requiring solid-state (super)structures have resulted in >70 joint publications: she is worth her weight in gold!

Building on reticular chemistry principles, we’ve expanded our covalent organic pillars into a larger iCOPs family. These discrete nanotubular structures act as deep cavitands, ideal for hosting long alkyl guests. Check out the extensive X-ray crystal structures at J. Am. Chem. Soc.!

Chemists are always in awe of what nature can make, but we do not always make exactly what nature makes. In this J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper, with change of just one carbon - from CH2 to C=O, a pseudo-polysaccharide could achieve both facile polymerization and depolymerization.#glycotime

Thrilled to be awarded the 2024 Sauvage-Stoddart-Feringa Junior Award #Mach5 Many people to thank for this: the awards committee Rainer Herges Alberto Credi Fraser Stoddart Feringa Lab and Jean-Pierre Sauvage and also my nominators/ supporters Two more signatures to collect!!!

Point-catenation unlocks hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks for H2 storage. Check out our article in Nature Chemistry featuring 7-fold catenated supramolecular crystals with high BET areas and record-high volumetric H2 storage capacities.

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.

Tremendous efforts, exceptional results, highest quality of presentation as always! Congrats to Ruihua Zhang (Riva)🍀 and Chun Tang! Fraser Stoddart Randall Snurr
