Great work, to which we had the pleasure of contributing an absolute configuration by #VCDspectroscopy!

It is with profound sadness that IOCB Prague announces the sudden passing of Prof. Josef Michl, a globally esteemed Czech chemist, on Monday, 13 May, at the age of 85. Prof. Michl led research groups at IOCB Prague and CU Boulder 🦬. "He was one of the few true geniuses I have had

📢**Abstract deadline getting close! ** Submit your contribution until tomorrow (May 15th) via voa8.mertenlab.de! Do not procrastinate, do not tell yourself "they'll postpone the deadline anyways". 😉

Lookling forward to it. :)

We finally succeeded in recording the #VCD spectrum of a chiral high-spin organic triplet nitrene under MI conditions. Read the full story now in ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal! 👉…mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… GRK2376 "Confinement-Controlled Chemistry" Solvation Science DFG public | @[email protected]

How complicated can it be to predict the #VCD of proline at different pH values? Deborah shows in her #firstfirstauthor paper in PCCP: Very! 🤯 Spoiler: The orientation of single H2O in large Pro-(H2O)n clusters affects the spectrum! Read more: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Great work! Happy we could contribute an absolute configuration to this nice study. 😀 #VCDspectroscopy

I had a great day at Kyoto University Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Many thanks to Hiroshi Naka and his great colleagues for hosting me and for providing us with this great food experience!

Frederike, Malte and Christian joint the Chemistry and Physics at Low Temperature (CPLT2024) meeting in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan. Great science, but not so great weather during the excursion. 🙈

Finally, also many thanks to Tohru Taniguchi for inviting me to Hokkaido University in Sapporo. It was a great pleasure to visit you and I really enjoyed the wonderful day and evening with you, Kenji Monde, NobuyaTsuji (Hokkaido University ICReDD) and all others! 😀

We are ready to kick of VOA8 (voaconference) with the welcome reception at Bermuda Lounge. Zemos als also waiting for us tomorrow morning!

We enjoyed 40 talks and 33 poster contributions last week at VOA8 (voaconference) in Bochum. Big congrats to Fredde for winning a poster prize for her study on chiral triplet nitrenes!

At VOA8, we celebrated 50 years of VCD and ROA (1st papers date back to 1973!). During the conf. dinner, we held a historic perspectives session with contributions by Larry Nafie Rina Dukor, PhD, Tim Keiderling, Sergio Abbate & Josef Kapitan. 🎂🥳 Thank you for charging these memories!

Read our recent perspective article on the Challenges and Opportunities of Increasingly Accurate and Complex VCD Experiments and Computations, which is out now in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. (w/ Julien Bloino Sascha Jähnigen). 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our delegation in Kyoto 🇯🇵: Debbie and Tim presented their latest results at “Chirality 2025” last week and enjoyed Japanese culture, history and food.

Thank you Philippe Lesot and your co-organizers for having me. It was a great meeting!

We did not tell you yet about this wonderful work by Charles Loh in Angewandte Chemie , to which we could contribute with an AC determination using #VCDspectroscopy? Well, now we did. 😉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congratulations to Elliot for passing his PhD defense this morning. 🥳 Thank for the new insights to halogen bonding and for expanding our knowledge on New Zealand! 😀 Wishing you all the best for the future! Fakultät für Chemie und Biochemie der RUB Ruhr-Universität Bochum

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of Northwestern. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide. ➡️ bit.ly/stoddart-in-me…
