Strengthening and forming new bonds at this #NonCovalent Faraday Discussion 🧪

Arif and Carlos in action at least week's poster session #NonCovalent Faraday Discussions at York - thanks to all involved - great meeting and discussions!

Lia giving her talk on modelling amineborane dehydropolymerisation at #Dalton2023 in collaboration with Andrew Weller. Thanks to all involved in running this excellent meeting - great to be back together Warwick Conferences Warwick Chemistry RSC Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms Group

@MacgregorHWU team at #Dalton2023 suitably refreshed after the conference dinner: Lia Sotorrios, PhD, Ambre and Paddy along with ex-Macgrellerite Bengt Tegner , plus some other bloke

Ambre with her poster on copper catalysis with Allan Watson #Dalton2023

The group pictured after MChem Day where Daniel and Marius both gave great talks. 'Darius' pictured with their supervisors keeping an eye on proceedings...all over bar the viva!

. @MacgregorHWU at the Scottish Computational Chemistry Symposium 2023: Arif handles the fire alarm (and a threatening coffee cup) with aplomb;Lia takes a poster prizes with Laia Vilà-Nadal (Dr Nadal) doing the honours. Many thanks to Hans Senn and University of Glasgow Chemistry for organising.

It’s been great having ICS-sponsored summer student Rebecca Cameron with @MacgregorHWU over the last couple of months - fantastic work - seen here along with her supervisor Lia Sotorrios, PhD and the rest of the crew, all contemplating dessert...

Adaptive crystalline lattices in solid-state organometallic chemistry. Read Joe Goodall's just published Chemical Communications, in collaboration with @MacgregorHWU, Jason Lynam & Huw Jenkins: In crystallo synthesis, microED, non-covalent interactions & more....pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our collaborative study with @MacgregorHWU of a Cu-catalysed iododeboronation mechanism is now online ACS Catalysis. Congratulations to Matt and Ambre! St Andrews School of Chemistry Boron: Beyond the Reagent Watson Group pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We bid a fond farewell to head post-doc Lia Sotorrios, PhD after three great years @MacgregorHWU. Good luck with your new position in Manchester with Andrew Leach Research Group as part of Boron: Beyond the Reagent. Lia seen here subjected to the now-traditional Jimmy-Hat - see you soon!

We are back! As if we’d never been away. Made the move up the coast to St Andrews School of Chemistry. Thanks to all Heriot-Watt University and University of St Andrews who have helped in making the transition. We have a PhD position open, so why come and join us! #PhD #PhDposition findaphd.com/phds/project/c…

For a new way to convert C-H bonds to C-Zn and C-Al using catalytic [Et3NH]+ see our latest collaborative paper out now in Angew. Chem. Big congrats to Milan and Justyna who worked so hard on this project. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
