Using an enantiopure ACA to program over time the induction of chirality onto a metal complex. Thanks to all Authors and Reviewers. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @SupRaLabRome @olivo_giorgio @S__DI_Stefano

Transient Induction of Chirality from an Activated Carboxylic Acid to a Zinc Complex

Time-controlled induction of chirality on a Zn2+ metal complex is achieved by means of an enantiomerically pure activated carboxylic acid (ACA). Such chirality induction is due to the interaction...

Does crystallisation in Tin–Lead perovskites really stop once the solvent evaporates? ❌ In @J_A_C_S, @dyyagcl shows dynamic PL changes during cooling, suggesting crystallisation continues, refining order and boosting radiative recombination. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Crystal Growth Modulation of Tin–Lead Halide Perovskites via Chaotropic Agent

Abstract. Mixed tin–lead (Sn–Pb) halide perovskites, with their tunable bandgaps (1.2–1.4 eV), show great promise for the development of highly efficient a

Our pipeline to compute thermal barriers of photoswitches💡 is out!🥳 We especially focused on NBDs for MOST🔋 and imines, but also stilbenes and DAEs. Try it out! You need just chemdraws and freeware to get libraries computed doi.org/10.1002/cptc.2025001…

Semi‐Automated Pipeline for Transition State Search of Molecular Photoswitches

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...
