| Caitlin arrives as an intern for three months. Another Aussie - welcome!
|
| June 2019 | Lauren (PDF) from Australia and Camille (intern) from France join the group - welcome!
|
| June 2019 | Subo takes out an award for his presentation at the MOF School in Italy!
|
| April 2019 | Some super group news: Shikeale wins the best student
prize at 3rd year level from the NZIC, and Subo makes us all jealous by
being accepted into the MOF School in Italy this June. |
April 2019
| Our work on MOFs is generously highlighted in the latest MacDiarmid Institute annual report. Read the full report here - it's really good!
|
| March 2019 | Our MBIE-funded collaboration with Tom Bennett gets off to a flying start with a paper In Nature Materials led by the University of Cambridge on MOF glasses.
|
| 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.

Another aspect of the chemistry of multicomponent MOFs shines bright: Systematic Tuning of the Luminescence Output of Multicomponent Metal–Organic Frameworks in JACS led by Joel.
|
| April 2018 |
The first paper from our collaboration with U. South Florida and the Fujian Institute is published in check out ACS Nano: multimetallic nanoparticles derived from MOFs.

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.

Check out this video from our collaborator in Australia giving and overview of the uses of MOFs. |
| Jan 2016 |
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.
