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: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

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: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2025105…

🔥 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: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Chiral Induction and Memory via Supramolecular Deracemization

The helical chirality of a dynamic crown-ether switch can, by light- or redox-switching to a prochiral state, be erased and subsequently stereoselectively re-formed by relaxation in the presence of...
