Thrilled to share our lastest paper on Triplet Energy Transfer -induced PQ-ERA photoclick reaction published recently in Angewandte Chemie ! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to its success! 📸💡

Intuitively simple approach for photoclick!!
As always, many lessons from Ben Feringa’s work. Feringa Lab

Excellent work and some cool new bis-NBD systems!

Happy to see this one out! Great work by Ainoa Guinart!! 😊 Very proud to have contributed to it together with Dr. Daisy Pooler ☺️
