PhotoReAct

📣 Time to mark your calendars 📣 The next edition of ETOC is coming up on April 29-30! Expect inspiring talks from outstanding speakers🫨📊🤖! The programme will be revealed over the upcoming weeks, you can already register following the link: tinyurl.com/ETOC2026-regis…

📄New Preprint: We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step, photocatalytic conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines. Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow. 🔗@ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

We combine ML + #DigitalTwins to autonomously design photoreactors with high light capture and uniform irradiation. A virtual photoreactor guides #BayesianOptimization, allowing numerous designs in silico and fabrication of the best candidates. @ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Congrats🥳 to @fran_millward, Jay, @suraksha_rajan, @aniketkumar999, Violaine, Máire, Megan, Tom, @HammerlingLea, & Aminata for their paper accepted in @angew_chem (doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…), a collab effort w/ Grzybowski group, on an #ML agent for recommending #photocatalysts.

Congratulations to @HammerlingLea, @DaveLSHall, Elliot, & Tabea for their paper (dx.doi.org/10.1039/D5SC04…) accepted in @ChemicalScience that demonstrates how diindolocarbazole #mrtadf compounds act as energy transfer #photocatalysts. @StAndrewsChem @StAndrewsOsc @PhotoReAct1

We felt a sense of urgency to summarize why mixing matters in synthetic organic chemistry. Our takeaway: don’t toss those stir bars yet! The truth is more complex than it may seem. Read our ChemRxiv preprint: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… #Chemistry #Mixing #Reproducibility

Check out our latest in @ChemRxiv (dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemr…), a great piece of collaborative work with the group of Teshik on chiral Lewis acid #photocatalysis. Great work from Riley and @HammerlingLea. @PhotoReAct1 @StAndrewsChem @StAndrewsOsc

New @ChemRxiv preprint! RoboChem-Flex is a powerful, low-cost (<5k EUR), modular self-driving lab for chemical synthesis We showcase 6 studies (photochemistry, biocatalysis, electrochemistry & more), all optimized with different configurations & ML 🔗chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Congratulations to Joe for finishing his PhD🥂 we will miss you and also we wish you great success in your future career ❤️

🆕 Preprint out now on @ChemRxiv! We report a modular flow cascade for the synthesis of γ- & N-substituted γ-lactams via photochemical radical alkylation and cyclization. Fast, scalable & broad scope! 🔗 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… #FlowChemistry #Photochemistry #Lactams

Congrats to another @PhotoReAct1 PhD graduate! Pauline Tenblad succesfully defended her PhD @UvA_Amsterdam last week and was surrounded by a bunch ESRs and coordinators @tnoel82 and @chemguy_eli

I had a great day in Amsterdam, giving a talk at the University of Amsterdam and then acting as one of the external examiners at my first Dutch PhD viva, and finally getting to witness the celebrations through the canals of Amsterdam. Thanks @tnoel82 for the invite and hosting.

😁🥳🎂Happy birthday Eli @chemguy_eli 🎂🥳😁

Congratulations to Lea for passing her viva 😍🎊🥳#doctorate

Congratulations to Lea for passing her viva! Many thanks to @LucaDellAmicoLD and Craig Johnston @TheJohnstonLab for examining. @photoreact @ezc_group @StAndrewsChem
