Re-ver-si-ble CPL inversion at the molecular level promoted by light and heat!
This collaborative work between the @FeringaLab and our group, the PulSAr team @UnivAngers, is now online on ChemArXiv.
Special congrats to @HardoinLouis and Eric Sidler!!

Thrilled to share our most recent work with @FeringaLab on switchable hydrogels! We combine the advantages of both light💡 and redox⚡️to get large-scale, patterned changes in gel properties (colour and swelling) with high spatio-temporal precision:

Combining noncovalent with dynamic covalent bonds constructs dual dynamic helical polymers that fold and recycle. Glad to see this long project finally coming out in @NatureChemistry @FeringaLab rdcu.be/eIQzd
Wow! A rare artifact from a simpler time: dial-up internet, flip phones, and great haircuts.
Thank you for sharing!
Feeling a bit nostanling today, look at what I found on my computar on the 2002 International Chemistry Olympliad held in Groningen about the molecular motors of @FeringaLab

Another great collaboration with @SidlerEric and @FeringaLab is now published in @angew_chem!
Building on our previous work, Eric prepared a few large, formally antiaromatic systems with interesting (chir)optical and redox properties. Check it out here:

🔥 Hot of the press: Chiral induction and stable chiral memory via non-covalent host-guest binding now published in @angew_chem! One of my favourite projects and a super rewarding collaboration with @SidlerEric, Yohan and @FeringaLab! Hot paper here:

Yesterday, I defended my PhD — closing one of the most enjoyable and rewarding chapters of my life with one of its most unforgettable days.
Huge thanks to everyone at @FeringaLab, especially Ben, Lotte, and Lili, my thesis committee, friends, and family.

👩🔬Our new paper is out in Chem! @FeringaLab. We unveil how light-driven rotary motors behave in lipid membranes—and why system-specific characterization is crucial.

Just published in @J_A_C_S, one of my main projects @FeringaLab on responsive crown ethers! Redox-switching? Light-switching? Why not both and get the best of all worlds, including guest shuttling, pseudorotaxanes, cascades and and (non)volatile states.
