Carbon may be the central element of organic chemistry but, for the broader chemical world, oxygen is the element of truly universal importance. Learn more about the many mysteries of this "doubly magical element" from our new book! @ChemistryFsu @FSUartssciences @FloridaState
Looking forward to the first full day of photochemistry at Aachen. The morning session starts with talk by Michael Wasielewski. I am sure that it will take audience for a spin! #ICP2025
Many thanks to @michal_juricek and his students for a beautiful day full of unpaired spins (and for sharing the art of making great journal covers)!
What happens if one fuses four benzene rings to olympicene? Guo, Tian, Sun show that vertical and lateral extensions have drastically different effects on spin delocalization. Read the full story in @Chemistry_MDPI

Catalysts are not single, static entities - they form dynamic cocktails of molecular, cluster, and nanoparticle species. See how adaptive catalyst systems are reshaping catalysis in mdpi.com/2624-8549/7/4/…. Based on the pioneering work of @AnanikovLab @Chemistry_MDPI #Catalysis
It seems that Belgian lace makers may be also quite good in making graphene nanostructures
We are excited for the start of #ICP2025 today at 17:15! The opening lecture will be held by Prof. Dr. Daniel G. Nocera on "Bionic Leaf" at 18:00. The talk is public, so everyone is welcome! Location: Aula, RWTH main bulding, Templergraben 55 in Aachen.
Kudos to Alexandra Tsybizova @TsybizovaA and Renana Poranne @Aromaticist for organizing a perfect scientific meeting for a very special occasion
A brilliant tribute by Peter Schreiner @prsgroupjlu at the Peter Chen Symposium: from early work with N. C. Yang, to groundbreaking mechanistic insights and ion spectroscopy, Peter Chen's legacy spans continents and decades. #ETH
Any organic chemistry meeting becomes elevated once Dieter Seebach joins the audience! #Named_reactions at #Peter_Chen_Symposium #ETH_chemistry
Honored to be part of this landmark event celebrating Peter Chen’s remarkable contributions to chemistry! #PeterChenSymposium
Igor Alabugin @IAlabugin @FloridaState presents the first talk of the Peter Chen Symposium with ‚The Photoredox Paradox: the Hidden Secrets of Electron Upconversion and Electron Catalysis‘ @ETH_DCHAB
Thank you so much, Igor! It was a honor to co-chair the Physical Organic GRS alongside @JuliaTurner97. I am grateful to all the speakers, mentors, and attendees who made this an inspiring and impactful seminar. Huge appreciation to @FloridaState, @ChemistryFsu & @FSUartssciences!
Big thanks to @JuliaTurner97 and @SaidJalife for co‑chairing a Physical Organic GRS, an invaluable forum where early-career scientists test bold ideas and build community. Huge appreciation to @FloridaState, @ChemistryFsu & @FSUartssciences for supporting both GRC & GRS! #GRS2025
