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.5c05404

Very excited to have this work out now! A very fun project which started during my stay in Berlin with @m_malischewski. Thanks to the whole group for making me feel so welcome and to @OxICFM for funding!

Delighted that this team effort from the group is out - we have tried to summarise the vast range of capsule-type architectures in the literature, including their synthesis, properties and limitations. We hope this will be a useful resource! @UoBChemistry

What a week, paper #3 out now, this time in @J_A_C_S!
Together with Lotte (@FeringaLab) we elucidated the multi-state and pathway dependent redox switching properties of a simple overcrowded alkene with different geometries and optical properties.

🖊️Feedback requested📰we have written a very broad tutorial review on (supra-)molecular capsules that will hopefully be a useful resource. Please get in touch via email if you have any comments or notice we've missed something valuable - much appreciated! doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…

First paper from my Postdoc in the @FeringaLab is out in @J_A_C_S now! Great collaboration with @SidlerEric where we utilise dynamic redox switching to reversibly modulate antiaromaticity and chiroptical properties of a helical indenofluorene

Hello & welcome to SAND: Stop Akehurst North Durham. We’re a group of concerned residents, both in North Durham & the wider North East opposed to ‘parachute’ Luke Akehurst becoming the next MP for the constituency. The leaflet below explains some of the reasons why. Get on board.
