Working to catch up on announcing publications, we have had a recent paper in Molbank with @chemdudebrian.bsky.social and @iainsmellie.bsky.social (doi.org/10.3390/M2196). We report the structures of an asymmetric salen-type ligand and its vanadyl complex. @standrewschem.bsky.social

A recently accepted paper with @chemdudebrian.bsky.social and @iainsmellie.bsky.social in Molbank - doi.org/10.3390/M2007. It contains the structure of 3′H-spiro[dibenzo[c,h]xanthene-7,1′-isobenzofuran]-3′-one, first isolated in 1871 and identified in 1920. @StAndrewsChem

In honour of #InternationalWomensDay, a little about a woman who helped make the Crystallography Service what it is - Emeritus Professor Alex Slawin. She developed the Service as Professor of Chemical Crystallography, and published over 4200 structures during her career.

Another recently accepted paper with @chemdudebrian.bsky.social and @iainsmellie.bsky.social, containing the previously unknown structure of 1-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)ethan-1-one (acetyldurene, first synthesised in 1931), published in Molbank: doi.org/10.3390/M1961. @st-andrewschem.bsky.social

Our first paper accepted in 2025, published in Molbank (doi.org/10.3390/M1952). Congrats to @chemdudebrian.bsky.social and @iainsmellie.bsky.social. The paper contains one structure, related to the one in a previous joint publication (doi.org/10.3390/M1862). @standrewschem.bsky.social

My first post on some other site that shall not be named was of a lovely crystal of ferrocene. I love it so much, here it is again. Behold, a crystal of ferrocene!
