It's my first @J_A_C_S paper 🥳
Sounds like bragging but it's a REALLY cool system as it looks so simple but there's much more information hidden inside 🪄
Oh and the TOC was inspired by the game Monument Valley 🤓 – at Würzburg, Germany
🚨🎉I am very proud to share our (@GalliumWu) recent work published in @J_A_C_S , where we use our imine-based photoswitches to drive a transimination reaction energetically uphill🔦⛰️ We are excited to continue exploring this area!😃Check out the paper at doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c03817

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.”

Very proud of @GalliumWu for defending her thesis (4th of December)! As the first PhD from the group, she has set a very high standard! Thanks to Frank @wuerthnergroup for the mentorship along the way! 🎉🍻

📢 🎉🎊 Really honoured to announce that I have been awarded an @ERC_Research StG for our project (HeliOS)💡🌞This project will be looking at out-of-equilibrium helical structures... more soon... (big thanks to those who helped along the way🙏) imineswitch.com #ERCStG
Thrilled that I won the CGCA young researchers award this year on the 37th annual conference 🤗 it was a great honor to present my PhD work to the community, and many thanks to everyone for inspiring discussions 🥰 #CGCA

Congratulations to Jiarong @GalliumWu and Rikuto @Rick_Polymer, who both recieved one of the few Excellent Poster Awards @ISMSC2025 in Kyoto, Japan!
Thrilled that I got a poster prize 😀Thank everyone who is interested in our work and for inspiring discussions ✨✨✨ It was a great conference! #ismsc2025

Turning light into leverage—controlling the uncontrollable with a photochemical cascade.
We are excited to share that "Harnessing light to drive a non-photoresponsive reaction out of equilibrium" by Wu & @JakeyLG is our Paper of the Month- May 2025!
📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.202…
Haha as the only two posters from Wuerzburg, 100% success rate 😉
What a pleasure to share the excellent poster awards at #ISMSC2025 with my former colleague @GalliumWu !!!
(Also with a great contributed speaker @JakeyLG !!!)
Thanks to all having hot discussions, and I deeply appreciate my former "host" @wuerthnergroup !!

Our latest @J_A_C_S paper is out! A 2.6 nm metal–organic pillar tubular host that shows anion-dependent chiral self-sorting and selectively recognizes long-chain “bad” saturated fatty acids over “healthy” polyunsaturated ones like DHA.

They can assemble on filter paper and show fluorescence 👇🏻
🚨📢Improving the photoswitching properties of N-alkyl imines, out now in @J_A_C_S 🤔Insights from our previous work led @GalliumWu, Lasse, and I to tune the properties of these N-alkyl systems🛠️, where we also observed isomer-dependent fluorescence!💡🔦🚥 doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c02404
Episode 6 of our photoswitchable imines... Thrilled to show our new work of N-Alkyl imine photoswitches! Now on @J_A_C_S 👇🏻🍻💡

Can't believe we made it 😆
🚨📢Out now in @Chem_CP , @GalliumWu and I figure out how to perturb a non-photoresponsive reaction(🌚) out of equilibrium using our imine-based photoswitches🔦💡This is achieved using a light-responsive transimination!(🌝)

A busy and productive end to the year! Very proud! 💯 Great job Jiarong! @GalliumWu 🚨💡🚦🔦
What a yearrrr 🤯 Ended the super busy year with my first flash talk prize ever at my second MASC #masc2024 🥰 (so proud of our dream team!! @JakeyLG)
The amazing magic and Christmas gift from @ProfDaveLeigh, wish all of us a magical Christmas 🎠🪄🎁🥳
