It is a first paper accepted for Godira Tatolo - “SelEXSIDE - Fast and Easy Measurement of Multiple-Bond 1H,13C Coupling Constants for Stereochemical Analysis.” will be coming out in Organic Letters soon….. Godira has shown that we can measure proton-carbon coupling constants … Continue reading
Another paper in press (“Shear and Extensional Rheology of Cellulose/Ionic Liquid Solutions”)…… It’s fairly well established that ionic liquids are unusually good at dissolving cellulose, but what is perhaps less well-studied is what you can do with it once it’s … Continue reading
Congratulations to Catharine who has just had another paper (“Accurate NOE-Distance Determination Enables the Stereochemical Assignment of a Flexible Molecule – Arugosin C“) accepted by ChemComm (or Chemical Communications for those who dislike shortening of names…..). That brings her total … Continue reading
Masood Afzal has joined the group for 6 months from Gomal University in Pakistan on a Higher Education Commission scholarship. He brings with him a collection of raw natural product extracts, purified materials and perhaps some interesting new compounds. Dr … Continue reading
It’s all gone a bit international now, with our collaborator Julian Eastoe giving interviews in the United States and even articles in Spanish newspapers about our ‘Magnetic Soap’. And all this started with an idea about mixing ionic liquids and water…..
Paul Brown has broken into the National scene with items on the BBC National news – radio, web and (apparently tonight on PointsWest) TV! Magnetic control over surfactants has been morphed into ‘Magnetic Soap’ Well done again Paul!
With Craig sunning himself in New Zealand, Catharine, Maria and Paul had fantastic successes over christmas – three manuscripts accepted into Angewandte Chemie, Journal of Organic Chemistry and Langmuir. Well done guys.

2012 will be full of interesting meetings, and the group is more heavily involved in these than ever. At this early stage, Craig and the group will be at: 20th March: BC-ISMRM Postgraduate Symposium (Local Organising Committee), Bristol 13th June: … Continue reading
As 2011 drew to a close, Craig found out he will be joining the organising committee of SMASH (the best big small molecule NMR conference in the world) which will be held in Providence, Rhode Island over September 9-13, 2012. … Continue reading
Craig spent 5 weeks away in Australia and New Zealand from November-January, including giving talks at: ANZMAG2011 Thanks to Francis Separovic for putting on a superb conference. In addition to catching up with some old friends, it was great to … Continue reading
