Happy new year with great new chemistry! We just disclosed a procedure for spiropyran exchange: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2024195… Our new method accelerates spiropyran photoswitch development and helps to boost the performance of dual color photoinitiators in xolography @xolo3D

We do Ni too!!! Please check this article published in @InorgChem in which our awesome undergrad student Daniel Ye (1st author!) describes the synthesis, characterization and PCET reactivity of a mononuclear NiOH system in three oxidation states. Enjoy! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Interested in reactive S & N species? Check out Andy’s new @angew_chem paper on SNO- & SSNO- reactivity! Outlines H+ mediated conversion of SNO- to SSNO-, & connections w/ HNO, NO, & H2S. Also new reactivity w/ COS & other RSS. Great work @agdavis98! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
