1D coordination polymer + H-bonds + pi stacking = MOF as reported in @J_A_C_S by @zgroupUL and @brianbspace: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102… Congrats to @alan_eaby + co-authors for revealing how this understudied but potentially vast family of materials can serve as H2O and CO2 sorbents.

Check the latest paper from the @ZGroupUL in @J_A_C_S on low-temperature separation of p-xylene from a C8 mixture using a 0D molecular solid. Congratulations to Maryam and all involved. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
Cocrystal? Inclusion compound? Induced fit? @zgroupUL + @MACATAMO_Group report all of above in a non-porous organic solid that is highly selective for PX over other C8 isomers. Now in @J_A_C_S: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… 🥂 @MaryamSangani + co-authors 🙏@SSPCentre + @scienceirel

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

A new porous organic crystal that reversibly absorbs water at temperatures as low as −70 °C was reported by @Barbour_Group. CSD entry BIJLIT is a chromogenic crystal that changes from yellow to red upon water absorption. #FeaturedStructureFriday 🔗hubs.ly/Q01-whbj0

Diamondoid networks strike again. @ZGroupUL @MACATAMO_Group @Barbour_Group + Kui Tan group report profound impact of one atom on gas induced phase transformations in X-dia nets. See @acsJACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… "KK" (@KKoupepidou) publishes her 1st first author paper!👍🎉

Diamondoid networks - the gift that keeps on giving. @zgroupul and @kaskel publish OA on recyclable gas and H2O sorption properties of X-dia-2-Cd in @JMaterChem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… Congrats @sbnbkv🇰🇬- her 1st first author paper. 🙏@scienceirel @IrishResearch @ERC_Research

The CELTIC2023 group photo proves we were here. Shortly thereafter, the bravest (by far) and coolest (by far, now literally) @ZGroupUL member took a dip in Galway Bay. Main take home message from CELTIC2023 is do not mess with Texas or @sbnbkv

@zgroupul now hosting CELTIC2023 in Galway from 04/22-04/24. Opening lecture by @MacGillivrayRG🇨🇦🇺🇸 is live; Len is providing insight on solid state chemistry with emphasis upon (i) making molecules in high yield with little waste + (ii) pharmaceutical cocrystals. More to come.
