A chiral and configurationally stable bis-perylene diimide macrocycle exhibits switchable circular dichroism and multiphoton circularly polarized luminescence.Chem. Eur. J., 2025 doi.org/10.1002/chem.202501734New work with our fantastic collaborators in Sheffield, UCL and Durham.

Tom, Mya, Denis and Jaz all got the opportunity to present recent work at the Early Career Researcher Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry meeting. Many fruitful discussions were had with friends and colleagues.

Tom and Atul had the opportunity to present the group’s recent work at the International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry in Kyoto, Japan. A huge thank you to the organising committee for putting on an amazing conference.

Congratulations to Denis for winning a poster prize at the RSC Organic Chemistry Midlands Meeting at the University of Nottingham.

Thank you to the organisers of MASC for putting on a great conference to end the year. The group had an excellent time with both colleagues and friends in the MASC community; as well as Tom, Denis and Mya presenting posters and Tim giving an invited lecture.

Many congratulations to Jamie who has been awarded his Master’s by research after submitting a thesis into the aggregation of perylene diimides. Well done Jamie and see you for the Summer Graduation in 2025!

Well done Angus on passing your PhD viva! Thanks to Jim Tucker and Emily Draper for examining.

Well done Sam on passing your PhD viva! And thank you to Jochen Brandt and Neil Champness for examining.
