We use supramolecular chemistry to access novel functional compounds and materials by self-assembly. We also love fluorine chemistry, photoswitches, and ultrasound and are located at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany.

It was a pleasure to visit Chonnam National University and teach photochemistry in Gwangju, South Korea 🇰🇷 Many thanks to Prof. Jacopo Tessarolo for the invitation and to everyone who joined my research talk and the many enjoyable discussions. Thank you for hosting me! 🍻

Super exciting day using #MicroED at @rigakucorporation.bsky.social near Frankfurt with Dr. Khai-Nghi Truong 👌🏻 We tested several challenging samples and solved one cage structure by electron diffraction using the XtaLAB Synergy-ED. Fascinating to experience the differences to SC-XRD firsthand!

Last week I had the great pleasure of visiting the @szyszkobart.bsky.social group and meeting their hardworking students. In addition to amazing organisation and hospitality, all invited speakers also had the opportunity to present at the 67th PTChem Meeting. 🇵🇱🙏🏻 @chemiehhu.bsky.social

The Et2F2 cage looks like that, the amine building block is connected twice to the same linker:

Our review on photoswitchable self-assembled cages and macrocycles was selected as one of the most popular articles of 2023 & 2024! It's amazing to hear it being read and well received. @jonavoss.bsky.social @hhu.de Check out the review here: chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We studied a fluorinated and a non-fluorinated tetrahedral Tri4Tri4 porous organic cage for H2, CO2, and CH4 adsorption. Finally something porous from our lab again with quite some surprises regarding selectivities and stabilities 🧪⚗️ #pocs @hhu.bsky.social pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Had the immense pleasure of hosting my mentor and friend, Makoto Fujita, for a GDCh talk yesterday 🍻🙏. Very grateful for the many students and colleagues joining the lecture, also from universities nearby, with more than 100 people attending in total. @hhu.bsky.social @gdch.bsky.social

Our latest research delves again into the world of fluorinated organic macrocycles and cages, transforming them into rigid entities bearing functional groups in exo-position using isocyanates, and further reactions thereof! #supramolecularchemistry #ChemSky onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The busy end-of-year stress and Christmas season keeps us all on our toes! Nevertheless, as the days are getting shorter, the year is slowly coming to an end. We wish you all happy holidays, a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁, and the best for the upcoming New Year 2024 🥳🥂 This year's card was made by Dr. Küng.
