We proudly share our latest JACS paper showing that optimized xanthenium photocages can bring light-activated drug release closer to real-world biology. Red-shifted activation, robust uncaging, and compelling validation beyond standard 2D assays. #JACS https://t.co/P0sFaekLEF

Finally published our most biphenylene work (so far!) in @OrgChemFront. We show that biphenylene can function as the bridge and the pillar in DAE photoswitches.

Our paper on fatigue-resistant dithienylethene photoswitches is now published in @ChemEurJ. Notably, we used a solid, bench-stable Ti(IV)-collidine complex for intramolecular McMurry coupling on gram scales.

Just out: Our pitfalls warning on NICS with examples on incorrect use of this (anti)aromaticity descriptor leading to false identification of "aromaticity" and "antiaromaticity". A heroic contribution by @Wengivis. Check: https://t.co/gcz3Ela4gb
