Another story from my sabbatical time @bioactinide @BerkeleyLab out @ChemicalScience! We resolve the crystal field splitting of a chiral picolinate-Cm complex using a combination of CPL and emission spectroscopies.☢️https://t.co/zspK75igtz

New story from my sabbatical time @bioactinide @BerkeleyLab out @angew_chem! Unusual sensitization of americium and CPL! Ugly spectra due to instrument limitation but promising for the future! A hot☢️hot 🔥paper 😉! Awesome work from Josh, Jen, and Appie! https://t.co/PiAqqraoUt

Our first story from my sabbatical adventure @bioactinide @BerkeleyLab is out @InorgChem! We witnessed curium luminescence upon reprocessing which inspired a ligand for Cm CPL. Fantastic work from @appiep and the whole team! Stay tuned for more soon-ish! https://t.co/WhQklcAl2F

Spirane Sphenol. Has a nice alliterative ring to it. End the week by reading our latest article by @Ung_Group on NIR circularly polarized luminescence activity https://t.co/n580LCgWOw

[The Ung Group @ UConn @Ung_Group]

Have we reached some limitations? Check out David's work @InorgChem on using the sphenol ligand for lanthanide CPL, some metric improvement but both ligand and complexes are somewhat sensitive, teaching us some valuable lessons for future ligand designs! https://t.co/FbiU0foJxY

Joseph's latest paper is out! Check out his heroic work making and using perfluorinated binol as ligand for erbium. Lots of synthesis, lots of spectroscopy, lots of tears looking at crystallizations oiling out... But our love for fluorine is still strong! https://t.co/AmeTwZJd90

Good bye @BerkeleyLab! It's been 4 fantastic months. Thank you @bioactinide for being the best host!! I will miss all of you... Stay tuned for some glowing chemistry coming soon!! ✨#shinyactinides

More structural clues about how to improve CPL metrics, but this time in the near-infrared! Check out Joseph's awesome work @ChemEurJ to unlock the secret of Vanol-Ln complexation. https://t.co/adztfOPixR

2022 was full of fantastic visits! Big thanks to all my hosts for giving me the opportunity to share our science. Special thanks to all students/faculty who took me to their bookstore to help me keep my promise of bringing home a school magnet! Anyone wants us in 2023?😜

Hi @Delta! I'm 76 miles short of silver status out of 25000 (0.3%!!). Is there anyway to make up for the tiny difference?? 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥈

It's a timely 2022 @J_A_C_S hat trick for the group!⚽️⚽️⚽️Check out Bre-Anna and David work on Ln-CPL with Spinol as a ligand (https://t.co/1YSWMrgye2). Super bright CPL emitters and some guiding clues towards maybe even brighter compounds (hence the lighthouse!)
