By incorporating indigo photoswitches into the axle of a rotaxane, which features a hydrogen bonding macrocycle, we demonstrate improvement in activation wavelength, photostationary states and therma...

Unified nonadiabatic switching: thermal Z→E isomerization of para-substituted azobenzenes proceeds through a single nonadiabatic rotational pathway. The iconic bell-shaped Hammett plot is a σp artifa...

Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien tilldelar Eleni Stavrinidou, Linköpings universitet, och Stefano Crespi, Uppsala universitet, det allra första Nagelska priset i kemi. Det handlar om en miljon kronor varder...

Chemiluminescence-based photodynamic therapy (CLPDT) offers a promising solution to the light penetration limits of traditional PDT. However, it lacks spatiotemporal control. Intracellularly activated...

A semi-automated pipeline for the transition state search of molecular switches (PiTS3) is reported, which facilitates the search, optimization, and conformational analysis of transition states of ph...

Luminescent emitters based on lanthanide ions are of ubiquitous importance in the biological sciences, but typically need sensitisation from a covalently attached adjacent chromophore – an “antenna” ....

Hemithioindigo (HTI) photoswitches exhibit robust photoisomerization under visible light and relatively high thermal bistability. In this work, we report various modifications of the HTI core, namely....

Transition metal catalysis is crucial for the synthesis of complex molecules, with ligands and bases playing a pivotal role in optimizing cross-coupling reactions. Despite advancements in ligand desig...

In this study, we present the synthesis and analysis of a novel, air-stable, and solvent-resistant phosphaalkene switch. Using this symmetric switch, we have demonstrated degenerate photoisomerizatio...
