Our joint review "New Directions for Mixed Matrix Membranes" with Janina Dechnik (Heinrich Heine University), Christoph Janiak (HHU) and Jorge Gascon (TU Delft) has been accpeted in Angewandte Chemie. The review gives a broad overview of porous additives for MMM fabrication.
Our new Angewandte Chemie paper is online - Mapping-Out Catalytic Processes in a Metal–Organic Framework with Single-Crystal X-ray Crystallography
Great work by Alex to painstakingly follow these reactions and a lot of access to the Australian Synchrotron to screen crystals and get publishable data.
We had a group trip down to the Maclaren Vale to show our Belgian and Japanese visitors some of the local scenery.
The 1st Japan-Australia Joint Symposium on Coordination Chemistry (JAJSCC) was recently held in Fukuoka, Japan. The meeting was held to further cement Japan-Australia collaborations in the field. Seven Australian delegates attended representing a range of areas of coordination chemistry.

Check out our cover image for our CrystEngComm perspective on emerging applications of MOFs.
The image shows how MOF crystallisation and structuralisation can be manipulated to facilitate applications, opportunities for MOFs in enzyme encapsulation and drug delivery, and how MOFs can be utilised for trapping species for characterisation by X-ray crystallography.
