Excited to share our new Account in Accounts of Chemical Research! We highlight our journey from molecular design to biradical-mediated reaction networks and their applications in advanced photoresponsive materials.

A light-activated morphine derivative relieves pain in mice. You better invest in tanning salons. https://t.co/DMtuxAE3DX

@TIFRScience @Ankona6 Congratulations Ankona!

Check out our latest paper on efficacy photoswitches that can locally light up opioid receptors, thus avoiding unwanted central and peripheral side effects (respiratory depression, constipation). Great collaboration with Levitz (Weill Cornell), @CorneliusGati (UCX) and @sevakat1 (USC)

Apply to HBCSE for a PhD in Science Education – 2027
Why are some concepts so hard to grasp? What helps students move from intuitive ideas to scientific understanding? Science education research tackles questions like these.

Congratulations to the team and team leaders. Good to see Sumant crack gold this time.

We wanted to triple-iodocyclize a tris-alkyne. ICl gave us chlorinated product instead. IBr? Scale-dependent iodo/bromination. IPy₂BF₄? Didn't cyclize at all. INO₃ solved it: multigram scale, >90% yields, no side reactions. https://t.co/le4FA567UY

We @im_Soumenadak @hrishika_d10 @SamyadebM unravel a new strategy for the stabilization of the Z-isomers of arylazopyrazole photoswitches. The effectiveness is proven beyond doubt - got all crystals for both Z and E photoisomers. @ChemCommun https://t.co/YGBYhRNNle

The network will deliberate on issues related to sustainability. Alongwith my continuing role as Chairman CHDC of BIS, this will provide me an important platform to discuss issues of mitigating the pollution and effects of chemicals and waste @AshokaUniv @iiserkol @csir_ncl

[InScight @InScightIISERK]

A reunion of minds! ✨ On 28th Aug, InScight Magazine past, present & new members came together. Felicitated contributors with certificates & discussed upcoming works. Grateful to Advisors Profs. S. Basu, A. Bhadra, S. Bandyopadhyay & guests Profs. A. Banerjee & T.K. Sengupta!

@chmsdas @sak71477 @Synthesis_1969 @thiemechemistry It truly is grossly overlooked. This is an opportunity for smart synthetic chemists like you @chmsdas !

[Soumyajit Das @chmsdas]

As one reviewer said, 'The [2,1-c]IF isomer, the second most studied antiaromatic indenofluorene (IF), has been surprisingly overlooked'...and now, we (@sak71477) reviewed its various synthesis strategies in @Synthesis_1969 @thiemechemistry https://t.co/IsTTOBCcPI
