We did some pretty twisted stuff and Science liked it: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
At long last—a GREAT effort by Megan & Nolan finally out in JACS after a 2+ year gestation. We found quadruply hydrogen-bonded DADA azaphosphinine homodimers are preferred over the theoretically more stable DDAA dimers, and they possess STRONG homodimerization constants.

The smallest and most abundant aromatic species in the Universe, H3+, has some truly crucial functions. It also has a really high first electronic excitation energy; 19.3 eV. Check out why this is the case in our latest paper in @chemicalscience.rsc.org pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
with lectures by Irene Casademont, @ironcevic.bsky.social, Bo Durbeej, Debashree Ghosh, Mercedes Alonso Giner,
Victor Gray, Juwon Oh, Josene Toldo, Igor Alabugin and myself.
The slides at the Winter School of icesaa-4.in are now available to download; in total 388 slides on intro (anti)aromaticity & descriptors, intro photochemistry, ultrafast spectroscopy, computations of excited states, excited state PES features, organic photochem & pitfalls ...🧵
