Just out in @angew_chem! We show a pyrene-fused azaacene derivative in which steric overcrowding caused by eight phenyl substituents induces bending of the aromatic framework rather than twisting doi.org/10.1002/anie.3918437

Awesome to have Jin-Quan Yu @YulabJin from @scrippsresearch in the house at @ChemNUS over the past 2 days in Singapore. Inspiring talks on the power of C-H activation for reactivity, enantioselectivity, site selectivity and sustainability.

A fantastic, festive dinner at La Mariana Sailing Club and Tiki Bar for the invited speakers of the Pacifichem 2025 sympoium on "Designed π-Systems" – great food, great camaraderie, and just a great time had by all! Many thanks to @Scott61144 for first taking us there long ago.

Fun night with my peeps! Thanks to our awesome chairs 🩵🩵🩵I’m not in the photo. But I’m there right in front of the camera on the other side. 🤓 Looking forward to another great day of talks!

And with that, the "Designed π-Systems" symposium at Pacifichem 2025 is a wrap! Happy to hand the reigns over to these three. Having been on the organizing team since 2005, it is time for new blood. I look forward to seeing what program you all put together for 2030! Mahalo!!!

Excited to share our newest JACS paper on double nanohoops featuring a tetrahydroindenoindene linker! In a systematic approach with single-hoop reference compounds, we uncover how geometry & asymmetry enhance optical properties, give record-breaking PLQYs and amplify CD & CPL.
