That’s it. I have my copy of #SupramolChem3rdEd. It looks gorgeous. Nice job @Wiley_Chemistry. My bookshelf shows the progression in size of the field across the three Eds. Preorders should be arriving on your doormats soon.

Delighted to announce the publication of a special issue on Multicomponent Pharmaceutical Solids in Crystal Growth & Design honouring Prof Ashwini Nangia pubs.acs.org/page/cgdefu/si…

Finally! A MOF Nobel prize! bbc.com/news/articles/…

What a delightful use of modern analytical chemistry techniques!

The Crystal Growth & Design 25th Anniversary special issue has just been published. Check out my editorial and a great piece from the founding editor Robin Rogers pubs.acs.org/page/cgdefu/si… @CGD_ACS

Crystallizing the uncrystallizable—PROTACs are new drug molecules in the beyond Rule of Five (bRo5) chemical space. They suffer from extremely poor aqueous solubility and low crystallizability due to their unique structure. This complexity makes it particularly challenging to analyze PROTACs from a solid-state preformulation perspective. Now, Screen, Steed @jonathan_steed , et al. report in @J_A_C_S a comprehensive crystallization protocol used to grow single crystals of a cereblon-recruiting PROTAC called “AZ1.” Their work resulted in the determination of two structures: an anhydrous form and a nonstoichiometric p-xylene solvate, achieved through 3D electron diffraction and synchrotron X-ray crystallography. This study paves the way for solid form screening and a deeper understanding of pharmaceutical systems that operate in the challenging bRo5 space. Full article:

New publication out in @ChemicalScience 🎉 and our first collaborative work with the always-great @KnowlesGroupUR. Phonons and electronics go hand-in-hand, looking forward to more exciting solid-state spectroscopy coming soon 😉 @UofR @URochesterChem

I will be giving a little opening address at tomorrow's Bimonthly Organic Solid-State Symposium: BOSS meets Crystal Growth & Design. Celebrating Mike Ward's career. The speaker list is amazing Omar Farha, Doris Braun and Chris Bardeen. Don't miss it! bosssymposium.org/april2025

Join us at the Durham Crystallography School @durham_uni for an intensive program tailored for early-career scientists with some X-ray structure analysis experience.

📆Monday 31st March - 20:00 (BST)

Introverts, ever feel completely drained after being around people?

You’re not crazy. You’re not antisocial.

Your brain just works differently.

Here’s why socializing exhausts you and how to protect your energy:
