How can Le Chatelier drive kinetics? @StefanBorsley 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…

A really fun project from @ProfDaveLeigh, delivered on the back of @PengLaiWang_96 ’s fantastic efforts, ably assisted by @MartinJ_Power and our collaborators in Strasbourg, Alessandro and @GiusepponeLab, who taught us lots of polymer and materials chemistry. Thanks all!
Martin Power@MartinJ_Power

Out now in Nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…)! Very happy to have been a part of this journey. We have integrated a catalysis-driven molecular motor into a polymer gel network to better understand the molecular-level transduction of chemical energy to mechanical force. (1/5)

Come and join my group @TheCrick - we have a PhD tinyurl.com/rhtfbdx4 in metal-peptidic cages and high affinity binders, and will advertise a 3 year PDRA in December for a Chemical Biologist with synthetic and cell work experience. Email if interested, retweets appreciated!

So happy to secure 1.4M£ for the project ChloroCat - Unlocking metal-chloride bonds for data-driven stereoselective catalysis! A big shoutout to my project partner Dr Jolene Reid at UBC, and to amazing colleagues at DurhamChemistry and beyond for help during the application!
Durham University@durham_uni

A huge well done to @HappyFranchino who has been awarded £1.4m funding through the @UKRI_News Future Leaders Fellowships scheme. Find out more 👉 durham.ac.uk/news-events/la… @DurhamChemistry

How do you make low-symmetry molecular organic cages using symmetrical building blocks? In new work out in @ChemicalScience we exploit “conformational autodesymmetrisation” to do just that. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

A new element makes its way into the Watson Group repertoire! Check out our first foray into the world of germanium in the context of CuAAC chemistry, in collaboration with @BurleyResearch! The pre-print is available here on @ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

@StawskiWojtek Hmmm we didn’t break down by twinning types …. Sounds like an interesting idea for a future paper

@MattOKitch Need to also find a good example for a non-merohedral twin. My problem is that I have some but they're not published yet so obviously can't use them ☠️

Any relatively simple organic molecules that crystallize as nice twins that I could crystallize and measure? Thinking about a new tutorial video and need a nice raw dataset 🥺

@StawskiWojtek No worries :) there should be a .cgd list so you can look at them directly in conquest - I think it’s on the supporting data site
