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!

Thank you all for joining ISPF2 Tokyo, which was packed with inspiring presentations and discussions! Many thanks to our sponsors and everyone who supported us.
I’m super proud of my amazing team @Yanai_Lab for the great Omotenashi!
Hope to see you again in Bangalore in 2028!

We're all set to host ISPF2 Tokyo starting tomorrow! We've even made our own original ISPF2 happi jackets for our staff. We're looking forward to spending three exciting days with our wonderful participants!

The @Yanai_Lab new website is now live!
This site embodies our desire to pursue new interdisciplinary research in Tokyo alongside members from diverse backgrounds. Special thanks to @yap0512 for bringing this vision to life through their design!

New molecular design absorbs 2 photons to store 2 positive and 2 negative charges
100 ns lifetime, 3 eV energy storage, and 37% quantum yield
A step toward multi-electron photochemistry

Unbelievable milestone for our group with a new publication in the prestigious @ACSCentSci ! Electron transfer, not energy transfer is controlling population of the final triplet state in a Fe(III)-PhAn dyad! @CadraLab @Gio_Ben_ @frsFNRS @WELRI_asbl pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

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!

Check out our new paper on TTA photon upconversion toward UVC energy generation using TIPS‐benzene as an emitter and heptazine as a sensitizer in Adv Opt Mater @AdvPortfolio. Nice collaboration with @Naoya_Aizawa. Congrats Masanori!

We show how photoredox catalysis can bypass Kasha’s rule, enabling reactions from higher excited states.
This work, led by the exceptional @BjornPfund, offers new insights into photochemical reactivity.

Just out in @angew_chem: a thorough look at an isolated acridinyl radical and its conPET-type photochem., with an emphasis on understanding how SET takes place.
(Dynamic quenching? Preassembly? Solvated electrons?)
Thanks to collaborators @RCNSTheoChem!

Fantastic conference this fall (17-19 September) near Vienna, Austria! The lineup at the “Photoexciting Molecules” at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is amazing!!! Check it out: photoexcite.ist.ac.at – at Padua, Veneto
