Reactive Metal Rings
As a reminder: A few years ago a team around Professor Sjoerd Harder reported a breakthrough in the chemistry of magnesium (Nature 2021, 592, 717). Magnesium (Mg), which in chemical compounds is always charged 2+, was stabilized in the zero oxidation state and found to react as a nucleophile instead of an electrophile. Now borders […]

Efficient molecular photoswitches
Molecular photoswitches are only nanometers in size and can change their structure and properties when exposed to light. Molecular photoswitches are of great importance in many applied areas ranging from the development of light-controlled drugs, solar energy harnessing, to the creation of optically switchable surfaces, and the exploration of smart information storage. They allow the […]

Indigo based Molecular 4D Switching in Solution and within Light Responsive Polymers
Molecular switches are molecules whose geometry, chemical, and physical properties can be intentionally altered by an external stimulus. Stimuli include light of defined wavelengths, pH changes, temperature, binding of metal ions, or electric current. The different stimuli and their combinations can drive the switches into distinct and interconvertible geometric or electronic states. Such defined state […]Molecular switches are molecules whose geometry, chemical, and physical properties can be intentionally altered by an external stimulus.

Storing solar energy in switchable molecules
To comply with the worldwide increasing demand for renewable energy, new tailor-made concepts are required to capture and store solar energy for different applications and at different scale. Beside the well-established approaches for energy storage, such as batteries or power-to-X, smart molecular concepts may provide simple, small-scale solutions with the potential to complement the portfolio […]To comply with the worldwide increasing demand for renewable energy, new tailor-made concepts are required to capture and store solar energy for different applications and at different scale.
