Thrilled to share our new JACS paper on anti-Kasha photoreactivity! We show that higher-lying excited states can drive electron transfer — opening new doors for photoredox catalysis. Huge thanks to Oliver Wenger for the incredible mentorship! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Cr(III) complexes with enhanced metal–ligand covalency enable tunable NIR luminescence and endergonic red-light photoreduction. Giacomo Morselli and team find signs of doublet–doublet annihilation, or excited-state disproportionation. Now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
