A study led by Prof Guangtao Li, and where Charl contributed, was accepted for publication in Chemical Science. More details on the manuscript entitled “Helically Structured Metal-Organic Frameworks Fabricated by Using Supramolecular Assemblies as Templates” can be found here.
Congratulations to Geri for getting her paper entitled “Chiral Perylene Diimides: New Building Blocks for Ionic-Self Assembly” accepted in Chemistry – A European Journal.
More details on this full paper in collaboration with Prof. Guy Lloyd-Jones (now at Edinburgh) to follow…
This £210,000 collaborative grant has been awarded to a research team from engineering (aerospace and engineering mathematics) and chemistry. Efforts in the lab are led by Dicker, and his work with biomimetic devices that re-orientate in response to light. See the University of Bristol’s news article here
The work is inspired by sun-tracking plants and uses pH-sensitive hydrogels in combination with photoacids to achieve actuation. These devices could be used to maximise the efficiency of photovoltaic panels by tracking the sun throughout the day.
To fit in with busy schedules, this years early Christmas lunch was held at Charl’s home with great food and drink, a quiz and the infamous ‘secret santa pass the parcel’!
The invitation to ‘bring a hat’ was met with a variety of hats from across the world
