Every new step in life is a lesson. #AvHPostDoc of @AvHStiftung @HumboldtUni| Former #PostDoc @brandeischem| #PhD from @Chemie_iisertvm
Our latest #MOST system using curved anthracene’s Dewar isomerization is now on @cenmag news ☀️🔋Thank you @KMothPoulsen and @Diego__Sampedro for nice quotes 😊 Proud of the team! cen.acs.org/energy/solar-p… @cenmag
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) Annual Meeting 2025 was a wonderful event. We were honored to have the opportunity to meet the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and the President of the AvH Foundation, Prof. Dr. Robert Schlögl. #Humboldtian




I am pleased to share our recent work on [2 + 2] Dimerization of a V-Shaped Diene in Organogel, Xerogel, and Single Crystals: Structural Insights into the Self-Assembly of Gelator Molecules in Organogels and Xerogels | Crystal Growth & Design pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
For years, the origin of homochirality (why life uses D-sugars & L-amino acids) has baffled scientists. Our new paper in @AngewChem reveals how achiral molecules can form the chiral polymers that likely seeded life! A game-changer for abiogenesis research! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…
🔗Medieval Chainmail meets Modern Materials! Our new 2D [c2]daisy chain polymer (think: molecular-scale armor!) self-assembles into chainmail-like networks. ⚡️ Breakthrough for soft robotics & smart textiles! #MaterialsScience 👉rdcu.be/ehOa6
Congratulations @GraceGDHan
Yay! To Grace Han for receiving the Cram Lehn Pedersen (CLP) Award in Supramolecular Chemistry at #ISMSC2025

😉👉Hi, if you are interested in interlocked MOCs, please, take a look at my article recently published in Communications Chemistry! nature.com/articles/s4200… I would like to thank the guest editors of the Collection on Mechanically Interlocked Molecules!
Harvesting sunlight with molecular crystals: In our new article in @angew_chem, we report pyrenylvinylpyrylium salt crystals that can convert visible light into mechanical work and can be cycled by heat, expanding the use of crystals to harvest sunlight! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
I’m excited to share our recent work! @GraceGDHan Group at @BrandeisU demonstrates rechargeable solid-state fuels ⚡️ with cascade heat release using donor-acceptor anthracenes—featured on @Chem_CP Nov 2024 cover! cell.com/chem/fulltext/…
Considering a postdoctoral fellowship? Here are 15 exceptional programmes that could be your next big step!
➕Our latest discoveries on various cycloaddition-driven #MOST energy storage can be seen in the recent @ChemicalScience review📚by @cijil_raju @HanPQNguyen ➡️ doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05…
Excited to share our newest discovery of #diazetidines as #MOST☀️energy storage systems with over 0.3 MJ/kg density🔋 now on @ChemicalScience Proud of the work of @HanPQNguyen @brandeischem🌟 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Click chemistry is useful for polymer synthesis. But the product can‘t be depolymerized. We solved this issue by using TEAC reaction to make triazolinyl polymers which can be denitrogenated to hydrolysable imine polymer. This is a landmark contribution doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…
