Happy that this is finally published and making noise! 💃🏿💃🏿 What better than a rollercoaster for this work? It took many ups and downs to get this explained. Great work from Nadja Singer and Kathi Schlögl! Worked hard to understand half-lives in these #azobenzene #photoswitches ! 🎉🎉

Lead author Patrick Lechner starts his PhD with a "Very Important Paper" in Angewandte Chemie! doi.org/10.1002/anie... His simulations reveal how spin frustration is key to understanding iron-based MOFs with triangular iron centers, building on decades of experimental work. Stay tuned for more!

Frustrated? 🤪 Don’t be! Our spin headaches in the #MOF #MIL101(Fe) is just published in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social Our first #MECS paper, powered by @fwf-at.bsky.social and @univie.ac.at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
