Click chemistry is a powerful way to stitch molecules together — but in our new @jacs.acspublications.org paper bit.ly/4cNBqMK we find that not all triazoles are equal! When it comes to #photoswitch the 1,5-regioisomer (not from "click") surprisingly outperforms the classic 1,4🧪⚗️ #molswitch #chemsky
Molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) systems have recently regained great interest after a period of intense research around five decades ago. This perspective clarifies the nomenclature, and intro...

The length of the linker connecting a photoswitch to a material significantly influences the latter’s properties, with “zero-length” linkers being ideal for optimal photomodulation. The 1,2,3-triazole...

Weak interactions, like London dispersion forces, are cumulative in nature and have been thought to be essential for only the structure and stability of large molecular systems. Only recently has thei...
A domino inverse electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction/thermal ring expansion sequence was developed to enable the one-step synthesis of arene-annulated eight-membered nitrogen heterocycles from readil...
