@GalliumWu
🎃PhD student at the moment 💛MRes in Imperial College London 🌸Graduated from Wuhan University. Pain is temporary ⚗️
It's my first @J_A_C_S paper 🥳 Sounds like bragging but it's a REALLY cool system as it looks so simple but there's much more information hidden inside 🪄 Oh and the TOC was inspired by the game Monument Valley 🤓
🚨🎉I am very proud to share our (@GalliumWu) recent work published in @J_A_C_S , where we use our imine-based photoswitches to drive a transimination reaction energetically uphill🔦⛰️ We are excited to continue exploring this area!😃Check out the paper at doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…
Congratulations to Jiarong @GalliumWu and Rikuto @Rick_Polymer, who both recieved one of the few Excellent Poster Awards @ISMSC2025 in Kyoto, Japan!
Thrilled that I got a poster prize 😀Thank everyone who is interested in our work and for inspiring discussions ✨✨✨ It was a great conference! #ismsc2025



Turning light into leverage—controlling the uncontrollable with a photochemical cascade. We are excited to share that "Harnessing light to drive a non-photoresponsive reaction out of equilibrium" by Wu & @JakeyLG is our Paper of the Month- May 2025! 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…
Haha as the only two posters from Wuerzburg, 100% success rate 😉
What a pleasure to share the excellent poster awards at #ISMSC2025 with my former colleague @GalliumWu !!! (Also with a great contributed speaker @JakeyLG !!!) Thanks to all having hot discussions, and I deeply appreciate my former "host" @wuerthnergroup !!
Our latest @J_A_C_S paper is out! A 2.6 nm metal–organic pillar tubular host that shows anion-dependent chiral self-sorting and selectively recognizes long-chain “bad” saturated fatty acids over “healthy” polyunsaturated ones like DHA. 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
They can assemble on filter paper and show fluorescence 👇🏻
🚨📢Improving the photoswitching properties of N-alkyl imines, out now in @J_A_C_S 🤔Insights from our previous work led @GalliumWu, Lasse, and I to tune the properties of these N-alkyl systems🛠️, where we also observed isomer-dependent fluorescence!💡🔦🚥 doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…
Episode 6 of our photoswitchable imines... Thrilled to show our new work of N-Alkyl imine photoswitches! Now on @J_A_C_S 👇🏻🍻💡

Can't believe we made it 😆
🚨📢Out now in @Chem_CP , @GalliumWu and I figure out how to perturb a non-photoresponsive reaction(🌚) out of equilibrium using our imine-based photoswitches🔦💡This is achieved using a light-responsive transimination!(🌝) #AIPs #imine #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide. ➡️ bit.ly/stoddart-in-me…
A busy and productive end to the year! Very proud! 💯 Great job Jiarong! @GalliumWu 🚨💡🚦🔦
What a yearrrr 🤯 Ended the super busy year with my first flash talk prize ever at my second MASC #masc2024 🥰 (so proud of our dream team!! @JakeyLG) The amazing magic and Christmas gift from @ProfDaveLeigh, wish all of us a magical Christmas 🎠🪄🎁🥳

📄 New pre-print from the group 📃 Paulina has been looking at how different coordination sphere interactions affect isomer selectivity in heteroleptic Pd(II) coordination cages assembled from low-symmetry ligands doi.org/10.26434/chemr…
Congrats to @dyyagcl on her first first-author review paper! 🎉We teamed up with @SnaithGroup, @brady6108, & @GroupHaque to discuss dopant-induced interactions in spiro-OMeTAD, shedding light on critical aspects of #perovskite solar cells! 🌟📚@ucleeenews sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
