Artificial photosynthesis could be the key to environmentally friendly fuels. A research team led by @wengeroliver.bsky.social has developed a special molecule that can store four charges simultaneously under light irradiation. Wenger calls this molecule "an important piece of the puzzle."

Rethinking Iron Photoredox Catalysis For Fe(III) complexes, excited-state redox potentials don’t follow the usual rules - standard estimation methods fall short Joël Wellauer with Paul Francis & colleagues at Deakin University in @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Cr(III) complexes with enhanced metal–ligand covalency enable tunable NIR luminescence and red-light photoreduction. @giacomo-morselli94.bsky.social & team find signs of doublet–doublet annihilation, or excited-state disproportionation. In @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Bite angle optimization weakens ligand fields in cobalt(III) complexes, yet lifetimes can increase due to rigidification pi-donor (instead of pi-acceptor) ligand properties are key now in @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

We show how photoredox catalysis can bypass Kasha’s rule, enabling reactions from higher excited states. This work, led by the exceptional @bjoernpfund.bsky.social, offers new insights into photochemical reactivity. Published in JACS @jacs.acspublications.org bit.ly/3IysmjX

Thrilled to share our new JACS paper on anti-Kasha photoreactivity! We show that higher-lying excited states can drive electron transfer — opening new doors for photoredox catalysis. Huge thanks to @wengeroliver.bsky.social for the incredible mentorship! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
