It was a great pleasure to welcome Prof. Martin Beyer in Manchester. Martin is a pioneer in mechanochemistry, he is the inventor of CoGEF calculation method.
Guillaume went back to his hometown to deliver a Keynote Lecture at the "Building and Probing Small" Symposium. The symposium was organised by Anne-Sophie Duwez (http://www.nanochem.ulg.ac.be) and took place at the Academy Palace at the heart of Brussels. It was a perfect mix of molecular machines and mechanochemistry, with an impressive line up of speakers.
 Big or small, the crowns fit us all. Great time at the Wharf for the Xmas dinner!  We had the great pleasure to host Jeff Moore in Manchester at the occasion of his RSC Stephanie Kwolek award.  ‘Live long, be fit, die fast, and leave no mess behind’ Inspirational talk and fantastic science!  Seasonal lunch at the Christie’s with Jeff and his wife Leann, in company of Lu Shin Wong. Our latest JACS paper, on the impact of a mechanical bond on the activation of a mechanophore, is now free to read, thanks to the support of the UoM library. #openaccess  Welcome to Shannon and Maurice who joined the group for their final year projects!
We bid farewell to Evelyn who just submitted her MSc thesis. We wish her all the best in her new job!
We have a 3-year PhD position available in the group. Starting date flexible.
More information can be found here. Min won the Fluorochem prize at the ECR MASC meeting for his poster on the 'Impact of a mechanical bond on the activation of a mechanophore'. The prize was awarded by Fluorochem representative Ian Wrigley. Well done Min!  |
