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
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
Huge congratulations to Sophia from our group for winning the best poster prize at the 2025
@st-andrewschem.bsky.social Postgraduate Symposium.
Delighted to share our paper just published @MacroJrnls_ACS
