Hat-trick of first authors now for @J_A_C_S with Five-Spin Supramolecule for Simulating Quantum Decoherence of Bell States. I also got the amazing opportunity to present this work as a part of my talk for @ICCC_2022. Thank you for all who attended. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Five-Spin Supramolecule for Simulating Quantum Decoherence of Bell States

We report a supramolecule that contains five spins of two different types and with, crucially, two different and predictable interaction energies between the spins. The supramolecule is characteriz...

The team synthesised rotaxanes that included a free radical, allowing them to determine how many had bound to each polymer bead chemistryworld.com/news/reco…

After some dodgy side effects from a COVID vaccine, I thought I’d cheer myself up by making a gif and sharing one of our latest publications: The Synthesis and Characterisation of a Molecular Sea‐Serpent: Studies of a {Cr24Cu7} Chain onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The Synthesis and Characterisation of a Molecular Sea‐Serpent: Studies of a {Cr24Cu7} Chain

The longest finite chain of metals is reported and the magnetic properties studied and modelled.

Always the curious scientist; methodical fun, the results looks satisfying and interestingly 87 in total. Too many toffee pennies for my liking, but in the sale it works out at 4.6 p per sweet.

As it’s been a year since my first lead author publication and since I didn’t have Twitter then: Thank you to everybody involved and thank you @J_A_C_S Close Encounters of the Weak Kind: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Close Encounters of the Weak Kind: Investigations of Electron–Electron Interactions between...

We report a family of hybrid [2]rotaxanes based on inorganic [Cr7NiF8(O2CtBu)16]− (“{Cr7Ni}”) rings templated about organic threads that are terminated at one end with pyridyl groups. These rotaxanes...

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a video helps show complex rotaxane geometry even better. #POVRAY fun
