Renowned 🇨🇿-🇺🇸 chemist Josef Michl, a pioneer in photochemistry and molecular electronics, has passed away at 85. His groundbreaking work and mentorship leave a lasting legacy. He will be deeply missed. #JosefMichl #ChemistryLegacy

Wonderful collaboration work on state-of-the-art Carbene-Metal-Amide materials from UoM Chemistry, Cambridge University, and Namur! Check out our just-accepted Angewandte Chemie to understand excited state evolution in evaporated thin films by transient absorption. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Our first dive into #mechanochemistry as a tool for #MOF #glass preparation is Wen-Long Xue‘s 2nd paper published within a few weeks. We report on the utilization of ballmilling for the transformation of crystalline MOFs into porous glasses in Angewandte Chemie. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

PLEASE RT! Thanks to generous funding by #VolkswagenStiftung we have a 2-year-postdoc position available from October 1st (flexible). You have experience in TADF and want to work in the field of quantum IT? Then send an application by July 1st to [email protected]

The group welcomes Mousree Mousree Mitra from the group of SteffenLab. Mousree will be assessing her complexes as #photocatalysts. St Andrews School of Chemistry St_Andrews_OSC

It was great to give a talk Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and catch up with our collaborator Gabriela Schlau-Cohen where our Solvation Science #RESOLV PhD student LauraNeukirch spent some months to collect TA data on heteroleptic donor-acceptor cages. Also around in Boston was Irene Regeni on her way to a GRC!
