| March 2019 | Working on gas separations is a lot of fun, especially when it results in a comprehensive piece of work. Here's Omid scoring a lovely goal in JACS. |
| March 2019 | Over the course of a few emails Qiaowei and I realised that we were working on the same MOF. Thus was born FDM-8: Check it out!
|
| March 2019 | Our MBIE-funded collaboration with the CSIRO team underpins a beautiful paper on CUB-5 in JACS.
|
Jan 2019
| We're thrilled to see Daniel's beautiful work on catalysis in multicomponent MOFs, well supported by Bernhard and Subo, pay off with a paper in JACS.
|
| Jan 2019 | Adil's hardcore synthesis efforts (ably assisted by Joel) reap the rewards with his paper on multicomponent MOFs with triazatruxenes as the threefold ligand. Now out in Chemistry - An Asian Journal. We're looking forward to the other papers in this special issue on NZ chemistry.

Brilliant news: together with four collaborators from around NZ, we have been awarded $1.5M over the next three years to work with researchers at CSIRO in Melbourne! The funding will be used to develop MOFs for applications such as greenhouse gas remediation and sensing. More details here and a write-up in the NZ Herald.

We are stoked to see our Nature Chemistry paper out online, made possible via excellent collaborations with our friends in Paris and Leuven and financial support from the Marsden Fund. Here's a
summary of our work.
