very interesting work!.
Our latest work in generating curved 2D sheets using the macrocycle side chain crowding effect. Now you don't need a curved molecule to create a curve sheet. Just wrinkle it. @J_A_C_S

Here is our latest paper! In this work we have shown that polymers made from a pair of retroisomeric dipeptide monomers via TAAC polymerization show different properties.

We synthesized two retro-isomeric peptide monomers containing hydrophobic amino acids for topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization. Crystals of both the retro-isomers underwent...

Our latest research dives into how two very similar molecules, constitutional isomers of acyl-HOBt react completely differently when exposed to light in their solid state! One forms [4+4] product, while the other gives [4+2] product with oxygen.

For years, the origin of homochirality (why life uses D-sugars & L-amino acids) has baffled scientists. Our new paper in @AngewChem reveals how achiral molecules can form the chiral polymers that likely seeded life!.A game-changer for abiogenesis research!.

This work demonstrates the absolute asymmetric synthesis of a homochiral polymer from an achiral monomer. Owing to the preservation of symmetry and anisotropy in topochemical reactions, the supramo...

#30 Angewandte Chemie!.In this paper, we show that a peptide polymer can be made, via TAAC polymerisation, in two different polymorphic forms; one with beta-sheet-like packing and the other one with helical packing.

I just received the latest issue of Chemistry world. On Page 34 , Sir Fraser Stoddart explained about his life after winning the Nobel Prize! He travelled 365000 miles! Sadly we lost this amazing and down-to-earth person yesterday.

Back-to-back papers by an author are not so common. Here is an issue of JACS ( JACS, 1978, 100, 22, 6801 onwards) with a series of 18 papers by Josef Michl. This is something landmark! JACS could have dedicated the whole issue to his papers !.

Our latest paper! In this paper, we report a light induced strengthening of an organogel. A monomer gel upon irradiation undergoes topochemical polymerisation to a semiconducting polymer which makes a stronger gel than the monomer gel.

In situ preparation of a covalent polymer gel from a supramolecular gel with the help of light induced topochemical polymerization is achieved. This research provides an efficient strategy for the...
