➕Our latest discoveries on various cycloaddition-driven #MOST energy storage can be seen in the recent Chemical Science review📚by CIJIL RAJU Hân ➡️ doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05…

Our proposal with Grace Han and Lucas@BC was awarded! We will study how light and force synergize in the depolymerization process. We envision that polymers can be made durable in most conditions (one stimulus) but degradable by applying two or more stimuli at facilities.

Congrats Grace Han and teams on 2024 Scialog Collaborative Innovation Award 🎉🎉🎉

Yay! To Grace Han for receiving the Cram Lehn Pedersen (CLP) Award in Supramolecular Chemistry at #ISMSC2025

I am thrilled that we finally had this lunch! Thank you! amazing super supervisors! Aiko Fukazawa Grace Han #ISMSC2025

After 7 incredible years at Brandeis, I'm excited to start a new chapter at UCSB today😊 I'm forever grateful to my wonderful colleagues at Brandeis for their support. Looking forward to building an interdisciplinary program in materials & energy UCSB Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry🌴☀️🔋

MOlecular Solar Thermal (MOST) energy materials at their peak performance

Amazing work of bending anthracene by Subhayan Chakraborty 👏

Dewar anthracene with a "cool", highly strained structure exhibits "hot" performance as a MOST material!🔥 Thank you for including me in this work! Congratulations! Team members! Subhayan Chakraborty Writam SR Choudhuri Qianfeng QIU CIJIL RAJU and Grace Han

Our pipeline to compute thermal barriers of photoswitches💡 is out!🥳 We especially focused on NBDs for MOST🔋 and imines, but also stilbenes and DAEs. Try it out! You need just chemdraws and freeware to get libraries computed doi.org/10.1002/cptc.2…

In Nature Chemistry, we report reversible hydroxide emitters that generate highly basic (pH ~13) solns under light & revert to neutral in dark. The compounds, taking advantage of aromaticity effects, can directly capture/concentrate CO2 from ambient air. rdcu.be/eAB2S
