I really liked this paper and I've been discussing its possibilities with a few colleagues. Thanks for writing with @vsaggiomo.bsky.social !
and colleagues/collaborators
Really interesting paper and a great concept, well done Eli!
🚨PhD position available!
We’re seeking a motivated student to study MOF/COF synthesis and catalysis with us. Please spread the word📢

I think that there are fewer posts, but also people don't see them as it's set up differently. I don't know if Alex is even on BlueSky to @ him
We had an interesting discussion about what defines polymers when we include metals the other day, but largely it is very quiet here.

I knew you’d go there! It was the first thought I had too
So, I guess graphene and graphene oxide are polymers then?
So, coordination polymers aren’t a thing in your mind? What about the polymers created by Ian Manners, do they count?
This is why I always love pyrazole-derived MOFs, beautiful structures too
So are MOFs really

@uclchemistry.bsky.social took us from Victorian London to World War 2, to the 1970s and to present day, marking major scientific discoveries and brilliant minds that have shaped the department 👏
For those interested, the research paper is quite impressive.

Modern analytical chemistry is very powerful. Nucleobases are remarkably easily synthesized.

Oh, he was right
It was a bit high
You would have found out that similar is not the same
It was quite the introduction to my PhD and Matt’s expectations
So much work went into that one table…
You mean we don’t get a share or any credit?
Another person who would surely have been in contention is Gérard Férey, who sadly passed away in 2017. His MIL-53 and MIL-101 structures continue to wonder and show new applications.
