We're honored that our research will be featured on the cover of ChemComm's next issue! Here's the article: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

P.S. hope to see you all at ACS in San Diego this weekend! I'll be presenting on this work at 9am Sunday 😅

Selective binding of rare-earth ions in polymerizable cages We assembled metal–organic cages by combining rare-earth metals with an alkene-terminated ligand (L), allowing for subsequent thiol–ene polymerization of the cages to yield rare-earth-binding polymer networks. Mixed-metal self-assembly experiments with ligand L show that the size ratio of the respective rare-earth

The Taylor lab at UMD welcomes two new PhD students, Silas Ameshiku and Lauren Towers! Looking forward to seeing the cool new materials they make. (The Taylor lab also welcomes itself to Bluesky 👋)
