Two SIU doctoral students in chemistry are researching more efficient and targeted ways of using light to drive chemical reactions thanks to a $418,000 grant from NIH. news.siu.edu/2023/02/020823…

The final match: Prussian Blue vs. NU-1000. In Round 4, they beat out MOF-74 and UiO-66, respectively.

💡 First up in our photoinduced redox chemistry collection is Perspective article from Pravas Deria & co on the role of photoinduced charge transfer for photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis and luminescence sensing in MOFs, go check it out⬇ pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… 📍 SIU Carbondale

I am looking for three more PhD students, in this season. Interested candidates, having CSIR/UGC fellowship, may approach me by email

Feeling blessed! Going through the process learned a lot! years of hard work spearheaded by Sreehari S R and Jierui Yu with great contribution from Diego A Gomez, folks at ANL (CNM and APS), and Dawn Duan

It was a pleasure to participate in this research with this great team! I’m really happy to share the results published on J. Am. Chem. Soc. of the work lead by Pravas Deria at Deria_Lab and where I had the chance to participate with Diego A Gomez pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

for common organic linker-based MOF, forming triplet is tough until E(S1) ≲2E(T1) due to poor ISC between delocalized S1 and localized T1. but possible in E(S1) ≳2E(T1) through SF via electron super-exchange. by Sreehari S R, Jierui Yu, ANL folks, n Diego A Gomez

an old observation, now probed, explains why some MOFs can be a good photocatalyst. NU-1000 that had fast (multi-linker) exciton displacement ability can also have CT state without any foreign redox unit. good work by Sreehari S R Chris Fry Dr. Bapan Saha Riya Krishnan

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

I have a really good PhD student graduating this Fall who is looking for a postdoc. Let me know if anyone has an opportunity. He has worked on a variety of supramolecular systems, some PAH stuff, and library synthesis of chlamydia inhibitors. Can do the org. synthesis needed.

Molecular Nanographenes, Multilayers, and Beyond: My PhD Journey on C64 Nanographene Tetraimide.🧵 1/ Graphene is a single, flat layer of carbon atoms. Nanographenes are miniature fragments of graphene, known for over a century to chemists as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Artificial photosystems where light-harvesting antenna, exciton transport, and photocatalysis all function in singlet manifold. While Sreehari S R Dr. Bapan Saha led establishing the mechanism, REU and UGs made a laudable contribution in expanding the scope. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
