Really pleased to see our work on using rotaxanes to tune photoswitching out now! Great work by my first PhD student Alex and the group, with some amazing computational insight by @screspi.bsky.social and the team!

Mechanically Interlocked Indigo Photoswitches
By incorporating indigo photoswitches into the axle of a rotaxane, which features a hydrogen bonding macrocycle, we demonstrate improvement in activation wavelength, photostationary states and therma...

Delighted to see our work on anion-switchable palladium cages, used to purify single pharmaceuticals from complex mixtures, out in ACIE today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... - great work from lead author Zhe, and brilliant crystallography from Tanya!

Dead excited to share our preprint showcasing some of the effects of incorporating indigo photoswitches into rotaxanes
Fantastic work by Alex, and great to be working with @screspi.bsky.social and co!

great to see @fschaufelberger.bsky.social present our recent work on our lanthanide chelate rotaxane emitters pioneered by @anjaramstrom.bsky.social! 📡💡 and a sneak peek into the main work of my postdoc too 😉 #MASC2025

Hectic few weeks in the lab, great to get out on the lake for the first time since surgery in summer. Four degree water was a tad chilly however!
