Professor Jonathan Nitschke (University of Cambridge, UK), who earlier this year received the 2011 Dalton Transactions Lectureship for Europe, recently presented his lecture ‘Hide-and-seek in container molecules: new capsules and chemistry inside’ during the RSC Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry Meeting, held at the University of Bath, UK 19-20 December. Chemical Science Deputy Editor, Joanne Thomson, was on hand to present Jonathan with his Lectureship certificate after his excellent presentation.

Jonathan was awarded the 2011 Lectureship in recognition of his outstanding research. In his first four years as an independent researcher, he published 16 papers on Cu(I) mediated assembly processes in high impact journals, a significant achievement when starting up an independent lab. During his time at Cambridge University, he has focussed his research on how to manipulate complex mixtures of interchanging compounds, and the useful functions exhibited by these new systems.
