It's a timely 2022 J. Am. Chem. Soc. hat trick for the group!⚽️⚽️⚽️Check out Bre-Anna and David work on Ln-CPL with Spinol as a ligand (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…). Super bright CPL emitters and some guiding clues towards maybe even brighter compounds (hence the lighthouse!)

Hi Delta! I'm 76 miles short of silver status out of 25000 (0.3%!!). Is there anyway to make up for the tiny difference?? 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥈

2022 was full of fantastic visits! Big thanks to all my hosts for giving me the opportunity to share our science. Special thanks to all students/faculty who took me to their bookstore to help me keep my promise of bringing home a school magnet! Anyone wants us in 2023?😜

📢Our #SpecialCollection on Circularly Polarised Luminesence is now complete and #FreeToRead until the end of March! Contributions by Chuan-Feng Chen, Michael Hall, Minghua Liu, Yoshitane Imai, Claude Piguet, Lorenzo Di Bari, The Ung Group @ UConn + many more! ➡️bit.ly/CircPolLum

More structural clues about how to improve CPL metrics, but this time in the near-infrared! Check out Joseph's awesome work ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal to unlock the secret of Vanol-Ln complexation. …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Very happy to extend our survey of photosensitizers to corrole analogues in this new 🇳🇴🇺🇸 collaborative paper: Transition-Metal Isocorroles as Singlet Oxygen Sensitizers #corrole #isocorrole pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Good bye Berkeley Lab! It's been 4 fantastic months. Thank you BioActinideChemistry for being the best host!! I will miss all of you... Stay tuned for some glowing chemistry coming soon!! ✨#shinyactinides

Joseph's latest paper is out! Check out his heroic work making and using perfluorinated binol as ligand for erbium. Lots of synthesis, lots of spectroscopy, lots of tears looking at crystallizations oiling out... But our love for fluorine is still strong! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Two of these PhD offers are under my supervision. Feel free to contact me... Association Française de Magnétisme Moléculaire Angular Momentum Center for rare earths and actinides research CNRS Chimie ThéMoSiA

Have we reached some limitations? Check out David's work Inorganic Chemistry on using the sphenol ligand for lanthanide CPL, some metric improvement but both ligand and complexes are somewhat sensitive, teaching us some valuable lessons for future ligand designs! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Spirane Sphenol. Has a nice alliterative ring to it. End the week by reading our latest article by The Ung Group @ UConn on NIR circularly polarized luminescence activity pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our first story from my sabbatical adventure BioActinideChemistry Berkeley Lab is out Inorganic Chemistry! We witnessed curium luminescence upon reprocessing which inspired a ligand for Cm CPL. Fantastic work from marlon benitez and the whole team! Stay tuned for more soon-ish! doi.org/10.1021/acs.in…

New story from my sabbatical time BioActinideChemistry Berkeley Lab out Angewandte Chemie! Unusual sensitization of americium and CPL! Ugly spectra due to instrument limitation but promising for the future! A hot☢️hot 🔥paper 😉! Awesome work from Josh, Jen, and Appie! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
