🚨🎉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…
Our pipeline to compute thermal barriers of photoswitches💡 is out!🥳 We especially focused on NBDs for MOST🔋 and imines, but also stilbenes and DAEs. Try it out! You need just chemdraws and freeware to get libraries computed doi.org/10.1002/cptc.2…
Congratulations to Jiarong @GalliumWu and Rikuto @Rick_Polymer, who both recieved one of the few Excellent Poster Awards @ISMSC2025 in Kyoto, Japan!
Our work on an all-photonic logic gate with a photochromic dyad works in solid-state and uses infrared as output. Just accepted in @RSC_ChemSci! Congrats @I_Sariful_ and @Jakir7_ Thanks to @ANRFIndia, @iiserkol, and @dcsiiserkol. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
2nd role a PDRA @TheCrick + KCL to lead a project on using supramolecular chemistry to target lipid nanoparticles, #chemsky #chembio, driving basic+transl. sci closes 8/7! Strong synthetic skills, or experience of lipid nanoparticles best,18mo, pos exten tinyurl.com/3kmmfwws
We have a 3-year postdoc position available, starting in October, to work on molecular capsules for catalysis. Click on the link below to apply! 👇 Happy to have informal chats about the post - send me an email. Application deadline 6 July. edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
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
We deeply appreciate this recognition from Flood and Team! 🙏🎉
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…
Thank you to the organisers of #ismsc2025 for giving me the chance to present our groups work. Biggest (and most impressive) stage that I have been on 😀 Great meeting so many friends and making news ones 🎉💯
Episode 6 of our photoswitchable imines... Thrilled to show our new work of N-Alkyl imine photoswitches! Now on @J_A_C_S 👇🏻🍻💡
🚨📢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…
They can assemble on filter paper and show fluorescence 👇🏻

Our first photoswitchable channel, controlled by three separate stimuli, up now@ChemRxiv! tinyurl.com/3m4umy3d - we use F-azobenzenes and a pillar[5]arene core to control ion transport + light, pH, and guest, modulating initial rates 170-fold. Collaboration + @markianwallace!
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…

Congratulations @yangdong1900, very nice idea! 😀🎉
Just out in @angew_chem. Thanks to the coauthors!
Impressive science, amazing discussions (w/ @JakeyLG + many others) and a nice welcome reception at the #Chemiedozententagung #CDT2025.
