Wow, very cool to see our work with @TomSolomek as a featured structure by @ccdc_cambridge 😮Quite a pretty molecule, what do you think? @UZH_Chemistry @HimsUva

The study of the first Fc[n]CPP molecule is reported in @J_A_C_S.
The high strain from the curved nanohoop seen in CSD Entry HUPDOP transforms the embedded ferrocene from a stable complex into a photoactivatable iron carrier.

Where do the limits of NIR photocages lie? How can we break through them?

Photocages made to order, for🎁EVERYONE🎁Cage highly complex payloads, including clinical pharmaceuticals, in a single step and control them with NIR💡Oh, by the way, we even caged capsaicin for those who really crave that photoactivated curry! Check t.ly/9qBiV

Thrilled to see Kasia's paper climb into the top 5 most-read papers in JACS Au this past month🚀A testament to her dedication and hard work, which will be a huge boost to her motivation and drive as she continues her excellent research. Congrats, Kasia!

In her very first paper, Kasia @kasiahanc forces our photocages multitask! 🫡They now deliver two species simultaneously, report the uncaging; all while targeting mitochondria and, of course, activated by NIR light. Check @JACS_Au for more! Congrats! 👏

That's what I call a collaboration with a twist - uncaging iron with visible light! Quite a departure from our usual chemistry yet I savored every little bit of it - thanks for taking me along for the ride. Can't wait to see where you take this next. @UZH_Chemistry @TomSolomek
