Our new paper is now online in @angew_chem!
We developed porous polymer monoliths that convert low-intensity visible light into UV light and drive heterogeneous photochemical reactions.
Wonderful collaboration with @ckerzig group. Congrats Sakura and all!

Thank you all for joining ISPF2 Tokyo, which was packed with inspiring presentations and discussions! Many thanks to our sponsors and everyone who supported us.
I’m super proud of my amazing team @Yanai_Lab for the great Omotenashi!
Hope to see you again in Bangalore in 2028!

[Nobuhiro Yanai @NobuhiroYanai]

We're all set to host ISPF2 Tokyo starting tomorrow! We've even made our own original ISPF2 happi jackets for our staff. We're looking forward to spending three exciting days with our wonderful participants!

The @Yanai_Lab new website is now live!
This site embodies our desire to pursue new interdisciplinary research in Tokyo alongside members from diverse backgrounds. Special thanks to @yap0512 for bringing this vision to life through their design!

The 30th @GDCh_aktuell Photochemistry conference (LCP) is approaching and will take place in beautiful Braunschweig in September. It includes five plenary lectures by well-respected speakers, as well as two prestigious award lectures. Visit https://t.co/pwv0EH6fq9 for details.

@WerzLab @iiserkol @UniFreiburg @FreiburgChem Impressive results, Daniel and co-authors. I should perhaps rethink about N20 activation, which I used to trap hydrated electrons during my PhD studies a couple of years ago 😅

A molecular dyad of an iron complex covalently bound to an annihilator exhibits three photoactive excited states — singlet, doublet, and triplet — enabling homomolecular upconversion

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.

[Christoph Kerzig @ckerzig]

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 🤔

Many thanks to our collaboration partner, in particular @NobuhiroYanai and his amazing former PhD student Masanori.

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:

We look forward to welcoming you to Tokyo!

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 https://t.co/14xmp6kvHS

[Rituparno Chowdhury @rituparno1001]

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!
