Very excited to share our latest work on naphthopyran mechanochemistry! It’s been a team effort and I’m beyond proud of and grateful to my wonderful coauthors. Go check out the photos of the gorgeous colors we get from this new mechanophore! 🧪
Here it is! Congrats to @Molly__McFadden, Skylar, and @YanSun21 on their latest communication appearing in @J_A_C_S! Mechanical force enables an anomalous dual ring-opening reaction of #naphthodipyran to generate an unusual dye with near-IR absorption. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
