Check out our latest work on C3-symmetric light-responsive chiral dopants based on tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ), now out in JACS! Congrats to Brandon, Indu, Jerry, and our collaborators in the Mastalerz group!
Brandon just passed his Ph.D. thesis defense! Congratulations Dr. Balamut!
Prajakta is joining our group starting this November! Welcome Prajakta!
Now out in Angewandte Chemie - check out our work on cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) featuring triptycene as the chiral core and azobenzene as the photoswitchable unit! This work has also been highlighted in the Liquid Crystals Hot Topic in Advanced Optical Materials. Congrats Brandon!
Check out our new paper on the influence of heterocyclic rings on our hydrazone photoswitches, now out in Angewandte Chemie! Congrats to Daniil, Yağmur, and our collaborators at Liu Lab!
Hot off the press - check out our new Chemical Science Edge article on the effects of donor number, hydrogen-bond donation ability, and the water content of solvents of the balance between azo-BF2 switch stability and 1,2-BF2 shift/solvolysis!
Now out in Advanced Materials - check out how we use bistable hydrazones for high chiral information transfer from triptycene units to liquid crystal (LC) hosts, showing tunable structural color reflection from ferroelectric nematic LCs for the first time! Congrats Hao!
Now out in Chem - check out our work on coupling synthetic negative feedback loops based on hydrazones! Congrats to David, Aisha, Vedang, Alex, and our collaborator Albert Wong!
