➕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…

I’m excited to share our recent work! Grace Han Group at Brandeis University demonstrates rechargeable solid-state fuels ⚡️ with cascade heat release using donor-acceptor anthracenes—featured on Chem Nov 2024 cover! cell.com/chem/fulltext/…

Harvesting sunlight with molecular crystals: In our new article in Angewandte Chemie, we report pyrenylvinylpyrylium salt crystals that can convert visible light into mechanical work and can be cycled by heat, expanding the use of crystals to harvest sunlight! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

😉👉Hi, if you are interested in interlocked MOCs, please, take a look at my article recently published in Communications Chemistry! nature.com/articles/s4200… I would like to thank the guest editors of the Collection on Mechanically Interlocked Molecules!

🔗Medieval Chainmail meets Modern Materials! Our new 2D [c2]daisy chain polymer (think: molecular-scale armor!) self-assembles into chainmail-like networks. ⚡️ Breakthrough for soft robotics & smart textiles! #MaterialsScience 👉rdcu.be/ehOa6

Congratulations Grace Han

For years, the origin of homochirality (why life uses D-sugars & L-amino acids) has baffled scientists. Our new paper in 长欣 赵 reveals how achiral molecules can form the chiral polymers that likely seeded life! A game-changer for abiogenesis research! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

I am pleased to share our recent work on [2 + 2] Dimerization of a V-Shaped Diene in Organogel, Xerogel, and Single Crystals: Structural Insights into the Self-Assembly of Gelator Molecules in Organogels and Xerogels | Crystal Growth & Design pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) Annual Meeting 2025 was a wonderful event. We were honored to have the opportunity to meet the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and the President of the AvH Foundation, Prof. Dr. Robert Schlögl. #Humboldtian

Our latest #MOST system using curved anthracene’s Dewar isomerization is now on C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) news ☀️🔋Thank you Kasper Moth-Poulsen and Diego Sampedro for nice quotes 😊 Proud of the team! cen.acs.org/energy/solar-p… C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)

Just out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. - where we employ a side chain-crowding strategy to construct 2D hydrogen-bonded wavy sheets. Grateful to Prof Chenfeng Ke, Jayanta Samanta , Prof. Birman, and Xinyu for the support. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
