Our collaborative effort involving the Falcaro and White groups at TU Graz and ANU respectively, “Enzyme Encapsulation on a Porous Hydrogen-Bonded organic Framework” just accepted in J. Am. Chem. Soc. We have found a new application for HO(F)Fs!
Michael Huxley’s PhD journey has been completed with the handing over of a beautifully bound version of the thesis. Lots of nice work including a recently published contribution to a themed issue of Organometallics covering Organometallic Chemistry in MOFs.
Michael Huxley's paper on using MOFs as a protecting group to facilitate site selective reactions was accepted by JACS. This work is part of a our Adelaide-Nottingham collaboration which is reaping dividends. See Protecting-Group-Free Site-Selective Reactions in a Metal–Organic Framework Reaction Vessel
The sommelier chemist recommended a reading to be paired with a bottle of 2015 Shaw and Smith Shiraz. Don't let a lack of wine prevent you from reading the paper though!
Our collaborative paper on "Control of structure topology and spatial distribution of biomacromolecules in protein@ZIF-8 biocomposites" was accepted in Materials Chemistry. Well done everyone! Weibin is over the moon!
We once again celebrated our end of year Xmas party at Richard Keene's place. Fantastic food and a relaxing time for all.
