The Nobel Prize
@NobelPrize8 Oct 2025
Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi have been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for the development of a new type of molecular architecture. In 1989, chemistry laureate Richard Robson tested utilising the inherent properties of atoms in a new way. He combined positively charged copper ions with a four-armed molecule; this had a chemical group that was attracted to copper ions at the end of each arm. When they were combined, they bonded to form a well-ordered, spacious crystal. It was like a diamond filled with innumerable cavities.

We've developed a robust photochemical alkylation method to transform secondary amides into α-substituted secondary amines. Broad functional group tolerance, scalability via #flowchemistry, and ideal for drug discovery! 🔗 @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #photocatalysis
