Porous Organic Cages as Building Blocks for Framework Materials Confined nanospaces are key to the design of porous materials like COFs, MOFs, and molecular cages for applications in molecular recognition, catalysis, and energy storage. This Minireview explores t....

Our latest mini review on Porous Organic Cage-based Frameworks is finally edited now! 🚀
Dive into Cage-COFs, Cage-POPs, Cage-MOFs, and more next-gen porous materials for catalysis, separation, and sustainability!

The Et2F2 cage looks like that, the amine building block is connected twice to the same linker:

Structural control of dynamic covalent cages: kinetic vs. thermodynamic assembly and PFAS removal from water Dynamic covalent chemistry is a powerful tool to synthesise complex structures from simple building blocks. However, even minor variations in the numerous parameters governing self-assembly can drasti...

Visible‐Light Switchable Rings and Chains in Dynamic Covalent Imine Chemistry The combination of a visible-light switchable azobenzene A with aliphatic diamines X of variable chain lengths gives access to various macrocyclic isomers. While diamines with even numbers of methyle...

Even–odd effects meet visible-light switching! 💡
Our latest paper shows how simple diamines direct the formation of azobenzene macrocycles. A bit of a lighter read in comparison to current news everywhere..:

Supramolecular chemistry has officially "grown up" in Germany. On behalf of the 10-person Founding Team👇, I am happy to announce the creation of section SupraChem within the German Chemical Society! 🍾 GDCh members please consider joining asap via www.gdch.de/suprachem @gdch.bsky.social

I was there 😀👍

Thank you so much for taking that picture and coming to my talk! It's a shame we could not/barely talk this time.

Yaaaaay!

Really great work!

Thank you, it really means a lot to us 😊
When writing such articles, and it always is a lot of work and I promise myself to never to do it again, I often think this is never going to be found ^^

Our review on photoswitchable self-assembled cages and macrocycles was selected as one of the most popular articles of 2023 & 2024! It's amazing to hear it being read and well received. @jonavoss.bsky.social @hhu.de

A profound loss for science overall. An extraordinary chemist with remarkable contributions to the field of self-assembly. Condolences to the family.

Slowly, this very stressful year is coming to and end and we want to wish all of you a Happy Christmas time🎄 and all the best for the upcoming year 2025 🎉🐍

It's a shame that gifs do not seem to work on bluesky yet 😱

We studied a fluorinated and a non-fluorinated tetrahedral Tri4Tri4 porous organic cage for H2, CO2, and CH4 adsorption. Finally something porous from our lab again with quite some surprises regarding selectivities and stabilities 🧪⚗️ #pocs @hhu.bsky.social

Thank you for makig this great list! If possible, please add my lab account, too :)

I started to this to help build the porous materials community here on Bluesky. Apologies if you're here and/or identify this way but I left you out, happy to add anyone to this who wants to be included. Please reskeet and signpost to newcomers 🙏

Thank you so much!

If you drink it, you'll die! If you don't, you'll die, too!!!!

Would you mind adding our account, too? We are working on porous organic cages, especially fluorinated ones

Had the immense pleasure of hosting my mentor and friend, Makoto Fujita, for a GDCh talk yesterday 🍻🙏. Very grateful for the many students and colleagues joining the lecture, also from universities nearby, with more than 100 people attending in total.

@hhu.bsky.social @gdch.bsky.social

Our latest research delves again into the world of fluorinated organic macrocycles and cages, transforming them into rigid entities bearing functional groups in exo-position using isocyanates, and further reactions thereof!
