On June 18th, 2026 Simon Soldner successfully defended his PhD thesis on "Self-Assembly and Complexation of Shielded Aromatic Bisimides in Solution and Solid State". Congratulations and all the best for your future career! 🦾
It was a pleasure to have Prof. Makoto Fujita with us for one month as a Humbold Research Award winner, providing three highly interesting lectures on molecular confinment, giant cages and the crystalline sponge method.

Supramolecular host–guest design in naphthalene bisimide liquid crystals activates charge-transfer emission and enables continuous tuning of color (511–685 nm) and lifetime, spanning prompt fluoresce...
Synthetic dye-based analogues of biomacromolecules often rely on simple dimers to model solid-state photofunctional behaviour. Now an iterative block-based coupling protocol has been developed that ge...
