Glad to share with you the new contribution from our lab in @ChemicalScience Beyond the Three-State Picture: When Higher-Lying Excited States Become Quantitatively Indispensable. Kudos to my PhD student, Steven He! #compchem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Beyond the three-state picture: when higher-lying excited states become quantitatively indispensable

Higher-lying excited states beyond S1 and T1 are widely recognized in many photophysical systems, including thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). However, their explicit and quantitative...

The final version of our work enabling red-light photocatalysis with bioreductants now out @JOC_OL pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… Congrats all! @ciqususc @MetBioCat @CadraLab

Red-Light Photoredox C–H Alkylation of Acceptor Heterocycles Enabled by Substoichiometric NADH

NADH is a key redox mediator in biology and biocatalysis, yet its catalytic use in non-enzymatic synthetic chemistry remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that NADH can act as a substoichiometric...
