Our new preprint introduces a new approach for controlling the helicity and handedness of polyaromatics using a helical synthon: isobenzofuranophane. We demonstrate the applicability by remotely controlling the handedness and pitch of [5]helicenes. go.shr.lc/44yCyln

Our latest paper is now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! We unveil a new strategy to access elusive free oxoboranes—highly reactive species—via bridged boranoanthracenes and aromatization-driven extrusion. Congratulations to the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Honored to be named a 2025 Ross M. Brown Investigator! browninstitute.caltech.edu We’re taking on a grand challenge: building stable, neutral allotropes of nitrogen (N₄) as clean, ultra energy-dense fuels. No combustion & emissions. Just on-demand decomposition to pure hot N₂ gas.
