🚨Introducing a curious concept in #photochemistry "#Photoredox #Autocatalysis"🔁⤴️. A diverse library of 'BASN' sulfonamide photocats self-synthesizes from cheap, commercial materials&light,💡primed for rxn screening. Check it out in ACIE👉 @angew_chem tinyurl.com/2s3m8faj

Thrilled our discovery of photoredox💡autocatalysis🔁 & sulfonamides as novel organophotocatalyst cores made the cover @angew_chem ! Mosaic lamps in a library depict the self-synthesizing catalyst library📚 concept, w/ broad applications on the book spines! Congrats to the team🎉

Are you interested in learning how to prepare 1,4-keto carboxylates from simple 1,3-dicarbonyls and alkenes under mild electrochemical conditions? Check out our latest article: doi.org/10.1002/chem.2… Very nice work by @imacleang, @Laurablanco___ and Elena Echávarri!!

Student success #2!👨‍🎓For his short presentation on photoredox💡oxidative RPC chemodivergence🔁 our Mattia🇮🇹 won best talk prize🥇at the ISOS Corbella PhD summer school '25🎆🔥He shared the stage with several profilic chemists (check the program👇), even a Nobel Laureate - wow!!🤯

Student success #1!👨‍🎓✨ For his talk on spectroelectrochemical mechanistic studies of PEC reactions, our Wolfgang🇩🇪 won a best talk prize at the Glasgow/Strathclyde Postgrad Sympo on Synthetic Chemistry/ Chemical Biology!🎉👏Well done also to Simon for presenting a poster👍

Pleased to see this highlighted as a cover feature @ChemEurJ! The medieval dual depicts competitive Ritter & Heck-type pathways following radical polar crossover [O] of an intermediate, the former promoted by TFA (acid-tipped spear). Congrats to the team &designer @sarinyaprints!

Catching up on posts🏃‍♂️Grateful for a chance to share our work at Southampton @UoSChem_ChemEng, a hub of rich history in radical, photo- & electrochemistry⚡(followed Profs D.Harrowven&R.Brown since my PhD era) Special thanks to @JonathanHGeorge @PerryChem for warmly hosting me!🙏

We Doctored someone - PhD #1 of the group! Presenting Dr. (Selectfluor) @ShahbozYakubov👨‍🎓🇹🇯 Massive congrats🎉💐👏Has been a privilege to witness your development as a scientist &person. 7 papers, 2 daughters, 1 comprehensive Thesis. So very proud, all best for your next steps!🙏

Excited to share our latest work in @JOC_OL! Our Pd/1,5-cod system enables efficient mechanochemical C–N coupling with primary amines, allowing rapid, solvent-less, modular triarylamine synthesis. Congratulations to the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
