Delighted to share our paper just published @MacroJrnls_ACS
in collaboration with @chemguyeli.bsky.social on semirenewable and photodegradable polyamides exhibiting self-healing and triboelectric properties. See here for more details: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨Our group is recruiting a PDRA in Organometallic Catalytic Polymerisation and Depolymerisation.
More details below, RT appreciated.

We have another fully funded PhD position to work in collaboration with an industry on the development of organometallic catalysis for efficient hydrogenative depolymerisation of plastic waste. See more details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... @chemjobber.bsky.social
New in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social We turn waste nitrile butadiene rubber (gloves, O-rings) into valuable polyamines & polyols via Ru-catalysed hydrogenation. Big congrats to @sophialozano.bsky.social & the team @standrewschem.bsky.social @uniofstandrews.bsky.social
In this paper @RSC_Sus, we demonstrated a highly efficient hydrogenative depolymerisation of polycaprolactone to make 1,6-hexanediol with TON reaching ~20k. Congratulations to Garima, Sophia @standrewschem.bsky.social, & everyone involved in the project! tinyurl.com/4j7v4a79
We have an exciting fully funded PhD position to work in our research group (kumarresearchlab.com)
and at the Macquarie University
with Prof. Yijiao Jiang (researchers.mq.edu.au/en/persons/y...). Application deadline: Dec 3, 2025. More details: tinyurl.com/2zr58myn @chemjobber.bsky.social
Delighted to share our paper just published in @acs.org catalysis where we report a new strategy for the hydrogenation of CO2 to CO using a Ru #pincer catalyst. Congratulations to James Luk and everyone at @standrewschem.bsky.social involved in the project. More details: doi.org/10.1021/acsc...
We report here an alternative approach to conducting the reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction catalyzed by a ruthenium pincer complex and an amine. In this strategy, a secondary amine is first form...
