Congrats to several members of our lab, including lead author Dr. Rajashree Newar, on our latest study on low-valent MOFs (LVMOFs). These LVMOFs have polynuclear SBUs much like conventional MOFs. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in synthetic polymer chemistry (cohenlab.ucsd.edu). See our publication in Angewandte Chemie (lnkd.in/eiSZkUbJ). Candidates must have a strong track record in synthetic polymer chemistry and should email their materials directly to Prof. Cohen.

Controlling the Mechanical Response of Polymers via Metal Induced Coordination Conformational Changes
Polymers containing edta groups can bind metal ions in an intrachain manner that results in “microrigidification” of the polymer backbone and subsequent changes in mechanical characteristics.
