Spotlight on Mechanosterics: A Bulky Macrocycle Promotes Functional Group Reactivity in a [2]Rotaxane | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Latest publication in @J_A_C_S “Spotlight on Mechanosterics: A Bulky Macrocycle Promotes Functional Group Reactivity in a [2]Rotaxane” by Pickl et al. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… @apoethig @Mass_Curcio

Thrilled to share our new @J_A_C_S paper: A bulky macrocycle enhances (not hinders!) functional group reactivity in a [2]‑rotaxane. Including definition and rationalization of this positive mechanosteric effect. 📖 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… #Rotaxanes #JACS

Wir haben sehr viele Freunde, bei denen mindestens ein Teil der Familie aus dem Ausland kam, oft hier studiert und geheiratet hat. Diese Menschen haben Angst. Deren Kinder haben Angst. Unsere Nachbarn, Ausländer wie Deutsche, haben Angst. Wir haben Angst, vor einem…

RT appreciated: My lab is recruiting several Ph.D.s and Postdocs excited to build synthetic cells that undergo Darwinian evolution. The backgrounds that we need for include biochemistry, synthetic biology, and systems chemistry. Details: boekhovenlab.com/openings/

We are pleased to announce the next LUCES Zoom Meeting, scheduled for Monday, Oct. 14th. Two young researchers will be presenting their work: Ariadna Lázaro (KIT) & Thomas Pickl (Tech. Univ. Munich). Don’t miss it! For titles and information, visit: lucescostaction.com/zoom-meetings

Confinement in a nanohoop 💍 organocatalyst enables outstanding enantioselectivity: 95% vs. 50% ee in non-cyclic reference catalysts!!! Check out our latest preprint, just out for #ISNA20, P-164 today! 👏@adriana_sac_mar @FabianSchwer, @apoethig @pic_tho chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Please check out one of the five new TUM-IAS Tenure Track Professorship calls *Accelerated Catalyst Discovery by High Throughput Experimentation*, initiated and supported by our TUM Catalysis Research Center! Details of the call can be found here: tinyurl.com/ywc3598n

Little farewell for our visiting students Diego, Nicholas and Aniket from Italy and India. With a bit of volley ball and Kubb (and of course sun burn for the lab rats :)) in the English Garden. All the best for your future!

What a great conference @EuChemS ECC9 in Dublin! With amazing talks, posters and inspiring plenaries. From molecular spies to molecular motor (magic)…:) Thanks to the organizers @irishchemistry! Always great to meet/make friends w/ @MukherjeeChem @MedBioinorgChem @lrraurell

How to kick the social dinner off at @EuChemS_Congres with your friends? @GMAlcantar @MedBioinorgChem @apoethig

Many know, being a PhD student can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Now, imagine trying to get a crystal structure for ages and then electron diffraction makes that happen in a day. Priceless! 😊 Thanks to @rigaku for beamtime and support! #3DED #happyPhDstudent #happyPI @pic_tho

Just accepted paper by @pic_tho et al. from our group on the crystal structures of two organic bis(triflate)s which were low-temp crystallized from liquids, featuring interesting sequences of polar and unpolar domains in the solid state. Well done!

Unlocking the secrets of chromophore packing in coordination polymers! 🌟 Our newest study reveals how different arrangements impact multiphoton absorption, guiding future design for advanced photonic applications. 🔬💡@apoethig @WarnanLab #MPA #MOFs pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Exciting news ahead! Our project CALIDE on Catalytic Light-induced Deracemization reactions has been selected for an ERC Advanced Grant 🙌💡

Enhancing Flavins Photochemical Activity in Hydrogen Atom Abstraction and Triplet Sensitization through Ring-Contraction (Golo Storch and co-workers) @apoethig @TUMcatalysis #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Had a great pleasure to deliver a lecture at @TU_Muenchen. Thank you @apoethig for inviting me!

Was a pleasure hosting @StawskiWojtek today at @TUMCatalysis & @FischerGroupTUM as quasi-satellite talk of a fantastic @SupraChem2024 (thanks again to the organizers!). Lots of fantastic chemistry and crazy molecules. Looking forward to more to come in the future! ☺️
