Here mostly into supramolecular chemistry, self assembly & systems chemistry, ocassionally into music, politics and Atleti!

The result? A transient disassembly–reassembly process that amplifies asymmetry in ways that don’t exist in the kinetically trapped system!

We observed:
✅ Fuel-driven Majority Rules amplification of asymmetry
✅ A surprising double helical inversion in Sergeants-and-Soldiers experiments
✅ A phase model revealing three distinct composition regimes
What happens when supramolecular chirality is pushed far from equilibrium — in water?
In our latest study, we chemically “fuel” supramolecular polymers based on PDI derivatives using a redox cycle. Check the preprint in ChemRXiv chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....

This work shows how chemical fuels can actively regulate supramolecular chirality in aqueous media, opening new directions for non-equilibrium self-assembly.
Outstanding teamwork with Triza Pal, @alexblokhuis.bsky.social, Luis Calahorra and @hermanslab.bsky.social at @imdeanano.bsky.social
Amplification of asymmetry in supramolecular polymers is typically studied under equilibrium conditions in apolar solvents, while examples in aqueous media and under non-equilibrium conditions remain scarce. Here we demonstrate chemically fueled ...

New paper just out in @jacs.acspublications.org! (link at the end) This is a very special one for the group, and for me personally. It deserves a bit of a long 🧵
