Happy to share our latest work in JACS! Congrats to Anees and Clement for their wonderful job. Integrated Singlet Oxygen Generation, Capture, Storage, and Release in a Single Conjugated Scaffold | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Integrated Singlet Oxygen Generation, Capture, Storage, and Release in a Single Conjugated Scaffold
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a highly reactive species central to applications ranging from materials science to photodynamic therapy, yet its detection and controlled handling remain challenging. Herein, we report two new 4a,5a-dihydroazuleno[2,1,8-ija]azulene derivatives, T-AA-F and K-AA-F, uniquely integrate photosensitization, 1O2 capture, storage, and release within a single small-molecule scaffold. Upon UV or visible light irradiation, both compounds generate 1O2 and undergo a selective [4 + 2] cycloaddition at the fused furan unit to form stable endoperoxides exhibiting red emission. Prolonged irradiation using UV (365 nm) or visible light (525 nm) triggers a ring-opening reaction, regenerates the ketone derivatives while releasing 1O2, as confirmed by EPR spectroscopy using TEMP as a trapping agent. The endoperoxides display high thermal stability up to 90 °C, enabling robust 1O2 storage. This fully integrated molecular system represents a rare example of a single-component platform capable of producing, trapping, storing, and releasing 1O2, offering promising opportunities for sensing and bioimaging applications.

This is an excellent illustration of how useless the "Impact Factor" metric is. The most influential multidisciplinary chem journals are JACS and Angewandte. They did not make the list. In this short ad hoc 🧵 I will analyze in real time what made the list and why. I have a bad feeling about this.
