Emily Baker, a joint student between Charl and Dek Woolfson, has had her paper on protein structure published in Nat. Chem. Bio! Her work focused on the interactions within protein alpha helices and how the dipole forces holding them together may be less influential than previously thought.
Read a short summary of the work, or see the full article here. Well done Emily (and collaborators!).
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…
Congratulations to Yaozu for making the front cover of Macromolecular Rapid Communications this month with his research on amine-linked oligocarbazole hollow microspheres!
This latest work has real-world applications in providing an alternative, reusable material for the absorption of lead from contaminated water sources.
Yaozu’s paper on the preparation and use of macrocyclic amine-linked oligocarbazole hollow microspheres as heavy metal sorbents has been published online by Macromolecular Rapid Communications!
Congratulations to Yaozu and colleagues!
Charl’s review in Accounts of Chemical Research, entitled “Ionic Self-Assembly for Functional Hierarchical Nanostructured Materials” appeared online!
A great opportunity to provide an overview of Charl’s collaborative efforts over the past decade, and to thank many colleagues who contributed to the far-reaching ionic self-assembly approach!
A overview, by Charl, of Ionic Self-Assembly (ISA) as a route towards functional nanostructured materials has been accepted for publication by Accounts of Chemical Research. More details to follow soon!
Yaozu just had a paper on the formation of oligo(carbazole) hollow spheres, and their use as heavy metal sorption materials, accepted for publication in MRC!
More details to follow soon! Congrats to Yaozu!
The paper with colleagues from Xi’an Jiaotong University, outlining a facile preparation method for hollow tetra(aniline)-shell microspheres, was published earlier today in the Journal of Materials Chemistry B. Well done to Lv (first author) for her hard work!
Yaozu’s Chem Comm manuscript has now been published. This article is freely available as an open-access article! Feel free to download it from here!
