On my way to Basel to attend the Dreyfus Lectureship, which will be given by Jim McCusker. Sun is shining and the train is almost on time.

Till defended his PhD thesis today.🍾 Extremely convincing discussion and great performance resulted in degree with highest distinction💪. All the best for your postdoc in Bologna, where Giacomo Ciamician did pioneering work in #photochemistry. Curious to see what Till will do 🤔

Julian's manuscript dealing with a novel biphenyl annihilator and unusual effects of different substituents. Is it a new benchmark system for blue-to-UV upconversion? You can read about it here:

New molecular design absorbs 2 photons to store 2 positive and 2 negative charges
100 ns lifetime, 3 eV energy storage, and 37% quantum yield
A step toward multi-electron photochemistry

Unbelievable milestone for our group with a new publication in the prestigious @ACSCentSci ! Electron transfer, not energy transfer is controlling population of the final triplet state in a Fe(III)-PhAn dyad! @CadraLab @Gio_Ben_ @frsFNRS @WELRI_asbl pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Organic molecules can have multiple photo-accessible spin manifolds? In our paper in @NatureChemistry we show how you can read and write spin-dependent information in a unique organic molecule using photons!

Check out our new paper on TTA photon upconversion toward UVC energy generation using TIPS‐benzene as an emitter and heptazine as a sensitizer in Adv Opt Mater @AdvPortfolio. Nice collaboration with @Naoya_Aizawa. Congrats Masanori!

We show how photoredox catalysis can bypass Kasha’s rule, enabling reactions from higher excited states.
This work, led by the exceptional @BjornPfund, offers new insights into photochemical reactivity.

Just out in @angew_chem: a thorough look at an isolated acridinyl radical and its conPET-type photochem., with an emphasis on understanding how SET takes place.
(Dynamic quenching? Preassembly? Solvated electrons?)
Thanks to collaborators @RCNSTheoChem!
