I count myself very privileged to have an opportunity to present this Mini Review—which summarizes the Stoddart group’s 56-year journey of adventure and achievements in relation to cyclodextrins—in @CCSChemistry with input from @enxu_liu @changxiashi @sirfrasersays.

Happy to share this mini review published in @CCSChemistry which summarizes the work of cyclodextrins in the Stoddart group. Thanks to Yong and Changxia for their support in completing this work. 🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂 @sirfrasersays

A seat is always reserved for @sirfrasersays — though he is no longer with us, his presence, spirit, and friendship are felt in every presentation. We miss him deeply. Stoddart Memorial Symposium @HKUniversity

Fraser has a very strong attachment in cyclodextrin science and technology throughout his career, he spent a lot of time revising and editing the manuscript in his office at @HKUniversity before his sudden passing.

Stoddart Memorial Symposium at the University of Hong Kong—sharing our fond and enduring memories of Fraser @sirfrasersays @HKU_Chemistry @NUChemistry @uclachem

Our latest @J_A_C_S paper is out! A 2.6 nm metal–organic pillar tubular host that shows anion-dependent chiral self-sorting and selectively recognizes long-chain “bad” saturated fatty acids over “healthy” polyunsaturated ones like DHA. 🔗

Thrilled to share our @J_A_C_S paper on a robust mesoporous HOF with a record 3.6 nm pore size, high surface area (2313 m²/g), and good stability! Achieves 0.31 g/g methane storage at 270 K/100 bar. Check it out: https://t.co/nq4pYUVGkj. @sirfrasersays @HKUniversity @NUChemistry

One day, @sirfrasersays suddenly said, "I’ve got an idea!" We were intrigued. Using BENDICK’s Box, foam & glue, he crafted a stunning model of our catenane, showcasing its mechanical chirality.🧪✨ https://t.co/aTcQMuaKap @NatureSynthesis @HKUniversity @NUChemistry @hku_science

Little is known about the nine-sugar ring δ-CD because scientists have been able to prepare only scant quantities of it—until now. Technical University of Denmark chemists led by Sophie R. Beeren have developed a multigram-scale synthesis of δ-CD.

Large-scale synthesis of delta-cyclodextrin is possible using Enzyme-Mediated Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry with superchaotropic templates. You can read about it in our latest article in JACS. https://t.co/sAl5C6f5E2

Nobel Laureate Sir Fraser Stoddart, who passed away on 12/30/24, is deeply missed by all at UCLA. His legacy will be honored at the Seaborg Symposium on 3/21/25, where he will be posthumously awarded the Seaborg Medal. Learn more here: https://t.co/bNioIQNn15 @sirfrasersays @UCLA

We’re paying tribute to former University of Sheffield lecturer, and Nobel prize winning chemist Sir J. Fraser Stoddart. Sir Fraser worked at the University for 20 years, and was a renowned scholar and a dedicated mentor to countless young scientists. https://t.co/WON4Z3On91

Born in 1942 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Fraser Stoddart went on to leave a lasting impression on the scientific landscape, setting a high bar for how science should be conducted and influencing generations with his unwavering enthusiasm. https://t.co/EQKJGLfeNe

So saddened to hear the news about Fraser Stoddart passing. He was a remarkable man in so many ways. I consider myself very fortunate to have shared some really great times with him, discussing our upbringing and our intense pride in being Scottish. For me, he was a role model, a

I will miss Fraser a great deal. Today marks 17 years since I became his personal assistant, and what a run it has been! We worked hard and also loved to joke around a wee bit. Best job I could ever have hoped for.

So sad to hear we've lost @sirfrasersays. He was always generous to me as a reporter for @cenmag and kind to me as a human being. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues. https://t.co/92uAzyT6z0

I am deeply indebted to Fraser for his mentorship, support, kindness, and generosity. Rest in peace, Fraser; your legacy will endure forever. 7/7

Fraser not only gave my baby daughter her first name, Evelyn, but also gifted her several toys, including one he named "Fraser." I had hoped to take Evelyn to Hong Kong to visit Fraser every year, but sadly, this dream will never come to fruition. 6/7
