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

Bite angle optimization weakens ligand fields in cobalt(III) complexes, yet lifetimes can increase due to rigidification

pi-donor ligand properties are key

Cr(III) complexes with enhanced metal–ligand covalency enable tunable NIR luminescence and endergonic red-light photoreduction.

@GiacomoMorsell2 and team find signs of doublet–doublet annihilation, or excited-state disproportionation.

Our in-depth study about how to avoid dissipation in solar-energy conversion using molecular chromophores is a HOT🔥paper @angew_chem @SolarFAU @UniFAU
In collab with fantastic @LudoTroian & team under European WEAVE program

[Ludo Troian-Gautier @LudoTroian]

Our work with the great @CadraLab and his team was just published in ACIE! Noémie also enjoyed a two months stay at Erlangen to get hands on experience! @frsFNRS (DfG Weave project) @WELRI_asbl

Very proud to see my first last-author paper published!

We report dramatic effects of a ligand backbone modification on 3MLCT lifetimes in Cr/Mo/W complexes. Read how we disentangle potential energy well flattening, conformations and self-quenching!

Fresh out in @InorgChem, we examined the electronic structures of p2 ions, one with large spin-orbit (Te) and one with small (Se). The SI works out the calculations in detail. This paper was written by my CHEM 435 students as their final exam! https://t.co/wq3ilSrh80 @NUChemistry

Check out @WengerOliver and my perspective delving into the role of organic radicals in photoredox catalysis: from catalysis and mechanistic studies to (sub)-picosecond reactivity and the potential of anti-Kasha reactivity!
