🧪 Simplicity engineered for magnetism 🧲

📢 Preprint: Cr(pyrazine)₃ - maybe the simplest MOF with potential voids known. Built from Cr(III) + radical pyrazine linkers, this perovskite analogue shows magnetic interactions rivaling the strongest known in inorganic materials, stabilizing order above RT.

Check out more on my YouTube...I made this animation for Jonathan Clayden and Beatrice Collins et. al. at the University of Bristol. It shows a molecule motor driven by an enzyme oxidant and a chemical reductant.

Yes!that's a good one, thank you🙂😎

Anna Tanczos @scicommstudios.bsky.social · Jul 24

Thank you🙂. However, that's a rather broad suggestion rather than a specific molecule .....and 2′-Fucosyllactose that I made for F is a milk oligosaccharide right? so I have kinda done that one.....would you like to pitch something else?

G is for gamma linolenic acid, found in seed oils such as evening primrose .... a return to the 2025 #AlphabetofMolecules after a break to get some work done! thanks to @meghanazad.bsky.social‬ for the suggestion🙂

Anyone got a molecular suggestion for the letter H?

Our work featured in Journal Cover of @acs Applied #Materials & Interfaces. We show how AFM & self-consistent field theory may explain interaction forces between fungal hyphae and how these are moderated by the addition of protein-binding agents in vegan meat analogues! doi.org/10.1021/acsa...

ahh, splendid, I just checked in here to see if there were any suggestions for G and here it is🙂

F is for 2′-Fucosyllactose in the 2025 #AlphabetofMolecules seen here bound inside the 2'-fucosyllactose and 3-fucosyllactose binding protein from Bifidobacterium longum infantis (6HUR.pdb). Ta for the suggestion @bridgetmcgann.medsky.social

It's an outreach video, a very broad overview of the range of their research. There may well be some more specific and in depth content coming down the pipe.
