Our new paper is now online in @angew_chem! We developed porous polymer monoliths that convert low-intensity visible light into UV light and drive heterogeneous photochemical reactions. Wonderful collaboration with @ckerzig group. Congrats Sakura and all! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

On my way to Basel to attend the Dreyfus Lectureship, which will be given by Jim McCusker. Sun is shining and the train is almost on time.

Till defended his PhD thesis today.🍾 Extremely convincing discussion and great performance resulted in degree with highest distinction💪. All the best for your postdoc in Bologna, where Giacomo Ciamician did pioneering work in #photochemistry. Curious to see what Till will do 🤔

Julian's manuscript dealing with a novel biphenyl annihilator and unusual effects of different substituents. Is it a new benchmark system for blue-to-UV upconversion? You can read about it here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Organic molecules can have multiple photo-accessible spin manifolds? In our paper in @NatureChemistry we show how you can read and write spin-dependent information in a unique organic molecule using photons! nature.com/articles/s41557-0… Next up: Room Temperature control!😉
