Dr Ben Pilgrim presented his research to HRH The Princess Royal at the Presidential Dinner of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. Ben was selected to present a poster entitled 'Stimuli-responsive molecular containers for biomimetic catalysis' covering work undertaken on his 1851 Fellowship over the past couple of years. #People #Events

A recent paper 'Fluorometric Recognition of Nucleotides within a Water‐Soluble Tetrahedral Capsule' published by the group has been featured on the cover of Angewandte Chemie (International Edition). Read the full paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/anie.201902025 #People

Ben Pilgrim gave a talk at Frontiers in Chemistry Armenia (ArmChemFront), held in Yerevan. Ben's talk was entitled 'Covalent post-assembly modification of tetrazine-edged self-assembled molecular capsules'. #Conferences #People

A recent paper published by the group has been highlighted by Science and JACS. The work, lead by Dr Felix Rizzuto, describes the stabilization of otherwise unstable supramolecular complexes inside the cavity of a cuboctahedral coordination cage. Read the highlights of this paper here: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6408/1212.4 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/jacs.8b09355 The full research paper was published in JACS in August. #Papers #People

Congratulations to Larissa von Krbek and Marion Kieffer, who both won poster prizes at the 2018 Gordon Research Conference on Systems Chemistry in Maine, US. Marion's poster was titled "Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Myth or Reality?", and Larissa's was titled "Allosteric Regulation of Anion Exchange in an Fe4L6 Tetrahedron". Celebratory lobsters all round! #Conferences #People #Awards

Jake, Masahiro, Dawei and Cally attended ISMSC in Québec City, Canada and presented posters, while Jonathan delivered an invited lecture on Monday afternoon. On top of the 5+ days of excellent science, the group also enjoyed excursions including sightseeing and zip-lining at the Montmorency Falls, wine-tasting and watching England play in the World Cup (sob). #Conferences #People
