This was all made possible by the hard work of *lots* of outstanding & creative scientists, support from the @royalsociety, @EPSRC, @LeverhulmeTrust and @ERC_Research, a bit of luck, and my family putting up with me babbling about symmetry at inopportune moments - thank you all!

This led us to declare “the end of the beginning” of mechanical stereochemistry in 2024 ( - we can now make them efficiently, describe them accurately and are starting see what they are useful for! In some ways the Corday-Morgan marks the end of an era🥹.

I say 10 years because Rob Bordoli’s synthesis of chiral rotaxanes appeared in 2014 (, although seeds were planted in 2011 by Hicham Lahlali when he saw an unexpectedly complicated 1H NMR spectrum ( - always watch for weird data 😜.

By shrinking the macrocycle in the CuAAC active template reaction not only is it demonstrated to be possible to use smaller macrocycles, but, surprisingly, that smaller macrocycles lead to higher...

Honored to receive the #RSCPrizes Corday-Morgan Mid-Career Prize for Chemistry. Credit has to go to the hard work and creativity of many outstanding researchers over 10 years at 3 institutions (@qmul, @unisouthampton, @unibirmingham). Short🧵

Great to speak @ISMSC2025 but didn't quite leave enough time for questions (bad Steve🤨). If you have a question, find me at the dinner or message me here and I'll get back to you! If Qs are cool (and the ans is short), I'll post it in reply here! AMA #ismsc2025

Just noticed the typo 😳 #ISMSC2025 not 2027. Not wishing my life away. Good reasons why I have that hashtag in my head!.
