One week left to submit your poster abstracts for the 2025 Chemical Science Symposium on bioimaging, diagnostics and sensors!

Register and submit your abstract by Monday 8 September at: rsc.li/chemscisymp2025
Promotional poster for the Chemical Science Symposium organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry, taking place 18–19 November 2025 in London, UK. The background features a stylized bioimaging scene depicting cellular environments. Central to the image is a vivid red cluster representing cancerous cells, surrounded by blue and green elements symbolizing healthy cells and molecular probes. The design evokes targeted imaging and sensing technologies used in cancer diagnostics, where fluorescent or molecular probes selectively bind to malignant cells for visualization and analysis. The abstract composition reflects advances in chemical biology, including cell-specific targeting, real-time imaging, and molecular sensing. A “15 Years Anniversary” emblem appears in the top right, and the Royal Society of Chemistry logo is in the top left. The poster also notes the deadline for abstract submissions: 8 September.

A promotional image for the upcoming Chemical Science symposium, on the subject of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics. The image shows a black background and on the right hand side is a stylised image of an unwanted cell with dendritic extensions, shown in red. It has a purple targeting reticule showing that it is being aimed at for treatment. Surrounding the red cell are a number of blue cells, conveying selective targeting. On the left hand side of the image is text for the Royal Society of Chemistry, along with the logo of the society, which is a stylised “C”. Other text states “Chemical Science symposium, 18-19 November 2025, London, UK” and “Save the date”.

Though the area has seen rapid growth, there are still caveats with AI-based docking methods. In this #ChemSci, Charlotte Deane and colleagues become “PoseBusters”, finding that AI docking methods struggle to generalise novel sequences and to generate physically valid poses.

Pleased to share this set of ~35 multicolor 3D-printed molecular orbital models for organic chemistry classrooms, developed with students @pomonacollege.bsky.social. Article and 3D print files (no paywall): pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
#ChemSky #CompChemSky #3DP #3Dprint #3DModels 🧪
Multicolor 3D-Printed Molecular Orbital Models for a First-Semester Organic Chemistry Course
We have developed a set of multicolor 3D-printed structural and molecular orbital models for use in a first-semester organic chemistry course. These models provide visual and tactile insights regarding aspects of organic structure, reactivity, and mechanistic “arrow pushing”. The set includes: 1. orbital models of σ and π bonding in methane and ethylene, 2. σCH–σ*CH hyperconjugation in staggered and eclipsed ethane conformations, 3. LUMO accessibility in SN2 electrophiles and HOMO–LUMO orbital interactions in SN2 transition states, 4. E2 transition state structure and orbital interactions in β-hydrogen removal and π bond formation, 5. σCH–pC hyperconjugation in the ethyl cation, 6. transition state structure and σCH–pC orbital interactions in a carbocation 1,2-hydride shift, 7. late and early, respectively, Br• and Cl• H atom radical abstraction transition state structures and SOMO orbitals, 8. bromonium ion structure and LUMO orbital, 9. protonated epoxide ion and neutral epoxide structures and LUMO orbitals, 10. transition state structure and orbital interactions in a hydroboration reaction, 11. transition state structure and orbital interactions in the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of formaldehyde, and 12. π molecular orbitals in 1,3-butadiene. The prints are made with hobby-grade 5-color 3D fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers and sized to provide compact take-home class handouts for each student or projected in-class with a document camera. Models are fabricated with orbital or electron density surface bisections and text annotations to enhance information content. Student perceptions of this set of 3D-printed molecular models are generally favorable and have improved their understanding of course materials.
