The beauty of azobenzene isomerisation <3

We proudly share our latest JACS paper showing that optimized xanthenium photocages can bring light-activated drug release closer to real-world biology. Red-shifted activation, robust uncaging, and compelling validation beyond standard 2D assays. #JACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Our latest contribution to the design of new sunscreens is out! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… With @beatriz_penin @raull233 and @funes_ardoiz @unirioja

I will probably hire a postdoc in the near future. People that are interested in the deep history of biochemistry and mechanisms of molecular evolution, please get in touch.

Registration is now open! 🚨 Don’t miss your chance to join us in Alicante and meet our confirmed plenary speakers! 👉 Stay tuned for more details! photocat2026.com/registration

#photocat26 Plenary Speaker Prof. Dr. Olga Garcia Mancheño from the University of Münster. 🚩Alicante, Spain. 21-25 September 2026 Come and join us! photocat2026.com

Este año @cientifica_lola ha visitado a varios cursos de Primaria en el CEIP Angel Ganivet con unas científicas del @IBVF_Sevilla para hablar de cianobacterias, compartimentos y plásticos biodegradables 💚 @unisevilla @cicCartuja

We are very excited to share our lastest published work, together with @Dychemlab We hope you enjoy it! shorturl.at/zaOyT @uclm #AIE @Scopus @ElsevierChem @Sciencedirect

We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoct to join our group, to work on the development of photochemical reactions compatible with DELs! If you are interested, please send an email to manuel.nappi@usc.es. More info here: nappichem.com

🚨 Come and join the team! I have a 4-year PhD position available at The Francis Crick Institute. 🧪 You'll build on our LAMP-D technology to design metal-based molecules to develop new therapeutic strategies. Application deadline: 17 March. crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

While traditionally used as stoichiometric reagents, #HeavierAlkaliMetalAmides have emerged as versatile #catalysts, find out more in this #perspective by @SanchezRoaDavid @DCBPunibern @ACSCatalysis in collaboration with #RabMulvey @StrathChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

After a long journey, we are so happy to share that our last work on the discovery of a new CO2 activation mode for hydrocarboxylation reactions has been published in @J_A_C_S, by @ManuAzzi, @maanuurm, @sainarayanan89, @J_Scarfiello and Jesus A. Varela! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@EvaHeviaGroup @Pacifichem Oh Eva!! You met Rory 😍😍😍😍 - Hug him from me ♥️

Bye bye @Pacifichem 🌺after participating in two exciting symposia #maingroupchem #allkalimetals It was great to catch up with many friends from far away and also to meet many new colleagues!

"Los percebes son carísimos!" Si. Ya. Claro. 😏👇

A classical Friedel-Crafts reaction may not be biocompatible partly because acid catalysts are needed. Our work @JACS_Au showed a boron unit makes it "catalyst-free" for tryptophan bioconjugation! The century-old reaction still has a lot going on! doi.org/10.1021/jacsau…

As a golden closing chapter to 2025 ✨ thanks Ivan for the invitation to IBC2. 🙏🏼 #ProxiDrugs & whole team: fantastic in every sense—science 🧠 & humanity ❤️. Crashing your Xmas party was the perfect bonus 🎄😄 Thank you all for making me feel part of the team♥️ #ProfLife

✨ Our first reactions article in @ACSCentralScience with #CyrilGoudet is officially out! 🎉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Don’t miss the chance to dive into the fantastic work of #AmadeuLlebaria #Xavier Rovira and #VenkateshKrishnan – great read for the winter break! ❄️ 💛 #ProfLife

Wishing everyone a cozy winter break from #lovelyMarburg 🏰♥️ Wrapping up with our traditional Xmas 🥘 this year delicious Galician cake 😍 thanks to #AliciaCasitas & @JoanSerrano♥️— and amusement program prepared by care & love from our students ✨🃏 -"Sharing is caring!" 🎄✨

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning. -Richard P. Feynman

Well done to my PhD student Periklis Karamanis who has recently defended his thesis! Here is our recent work on "Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated Analogues of the Cyclic Lipopeptide Iturin A and Evaluation of their Antifungal Activity" doi.org/10.1002/cplu.2…

Long live N6!
