Researchers have made a curved form of anthracene, an organic compound, that captures and stores sunlight in its chemical bonds, releasing the energy as heat when triggered hours later. cen.acs.org/energy/solar-p…

#Curved anthracene molecules efficiently absorb #VisibleLight, store #SolarEnergy as chemical bonds, and release heat on demand, offering a solvent-free advance in molecular solar thermal storage. doi.org/g9t4m2 phys.org/news/2025-07-m…

Today in @ChemRxiv (bit.ly/3woX5pw) we present an unusually efficient solution (4 years in the making) to a classic challenge in terpene synthesis enabled by electrocatalysis (Ag-nanoparticle electrodes!) and radical retrosynthesis.






The application for our 2022 summer i-Scholar Program is now open! We encourage undergraduate students from outside the U.S. interested in pursuing a PhD in chemistry to apply. The application deadline is February 7, 2022. sas.rochester.edu/chm/undergradu…






BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”
