Woow!! Super cool molecule and very elegant approach! I love it! 😍
With a funny sentence in the SI: "Their 1H NMR spectra are too complicated for structural assignment...🤔 after confirmation by HRMS, the products were used in the subsequent reactions" 🤔

Our new paper is out in Nat. Commun.! 🎉
“Skeletal transformation to chiral nanocarbon molecules”
Skeletal transformation solves two challenges in chiral-nanocarbon synthesis.
A remarkable achievement made possible by Jun’s enormous effort. 👏

The most rewarding projects often begin with serendipity. Nearly a decade ago, I wondered if we could tell the handedness of the pillararene crystals we had just grown. Beginner's luck was on our side. Finally published in @J_A_C_S. https://t.co/ykEiz5iluc

Cycloazulenylene. After our report and public disclosure in Feb 2026 @ChemRxiv, you can read about this beauty in @angew_chem. Great team work @Slanina_Group.
And no, none of the 2,6- cycloazulenylenes are segments of Haeckelite nanotubes. none.

Something for cage lovers! A new two-author, corresp. paper with @Besserchemistry at @JACS_Au! Here we show the formation of a coordination cage with walls featuring the antiaromatic motif of pentalene. Big thx to my boss for support, freedom and trust 😍 https://t.co/VXz37yN0Yj
Happy to share our recent work on the antiaromatic cyclooctatetraene-embedded, BODIPY-fused nanographene with an NIR-II chiroptical response, which is now published in @J_A_C_S : https://t.co/NOtkWy8tm0
