The great Jiro Abe now on stage . A journey exploring negative photochromism ☀️🌞🎉🌸✨⚡️💥PhotoIUPAC2024

Our new paper has just been published. Jiro Abe Stepwise Photochromism of Large Macrocycles Incorporating Two Negative Photochromic Units pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Fast photochromism of helicene-bridged imidazole dimers. We examined the photochromic behavior of imidazole dimers bridged by aromatic helicene units. - now published in Chemical Science Chemical Science doi.org/10.1039/D4SC03…

Extremely proud of this exciting news! Dennis Chung-Yang Huang developed N-arylindigos as a postdoc and now has taken them one big step further into becoming truly attractive photoswitches for bio and more. Congratulation Dennis and team🎉

The mysterious hydrocarbon, Clar’s goblet, was finally synthesized in solution and isolated in single-crystal form. It contains two unpaired but entangled radicals, with a singlet ground state. A preprint of this work is now posted ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

🚨📢Out now in Chem , Jiarong Wu and I figure out how to perturb a non-photoresponsive reaction(🌚) out of equilibrium using our imine-based photoswitches🔦💡This is achieved using a light-responsive transimination!(🌝) #AIPs #imine #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

We elucidated the photoreaction mechanism of a fast negative photochromic molecule that becomes colorless upon visible-light irradiation and rapidly regains its color once the irradiation is stopped. -now published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
