Fantastic summary by @gomobel.bsky.social of our recent paper about state-independent electrolytes - www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... The self-assembly of diffuse aromatic cations is key to maintaining the conducivity across phase transitions.

‘Stimulating discovery’ leads to strategy to swap oxygen in saturated rings Skeletal editing pushed beyond aromatic structures, sparking new opportunities in drug discovery

Photochemistry swaps the oxygen atom in oxetane rings with nitrogen, carbon, or sulfur at a single stroke. @mjkoh87.bsky.social’s team pushed skeletal editing beyond aromatic structures, a stimulating discovery in organic chemistry: www.chemistryworld.com/news/stimula... 🧪 #ChemSky @nature.com

Thank you very much @gomobel.bsky.social for highliting our work on @chemistryworld.com. Chiral acyl phosphates meet self-assembly..! Thanks also @claudiabonfio.bsky.social and @jeannecrassousiscr.bsky.social for the very nice comments about our work!!

Swapping oxygen in oxetanes? 🪄 Done! With skeletal editing 🙌🏼🦴✨ My latest @chemistryworld.com story covers a cool strategy to introduce nitrogen, carbon, or sulfur instead at a single stroke 🖌️🎨 Amazing, almost magic @nature.com paper by @mjkoh87.bsky.social 👉🏼 www.chemistryworld.com/news/stimula...

Thanks so much @jeannecrassousiscr.bsky.social & @claudiabonfio.bsky.social for providing interesting insights, your comments really helped frame the importance of the discovery 💡 which “could have dictated the nature of primitive supramolecular structures” 😮

Chiral chemical fuels trigger two very different supramolecular self-assemblies Handedness of self-assembling peptides might explain the origins of homochirality in biological systems

Really cool stuff by @pappasgroup.bsky.social in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social – chiral chemical fuels drive molecules to self-assemble into different structures, depending on handedness 🧬 My latest for @chemistryworld.com 👉🏼 www.chemistryworld.com/news/chiral-... #ChemSky #RealTimeChem #Chemistry

The connection between Nobel-prize winning MOFs and Mudéjar maybe goes beyond beautiful geometric structures – @davidfairen.bsky.social believes the first ever metal-organic framework could be a compound discovered in my hometown, Zaragoza, in 1973. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/my-a...
