The third paper of 2025 is out. Congrats to Karla on the publication of her first-author paper. She demonstrates how we can use [2.2]paracyclophanes as dual-mode materials featuring significant photoluminescence and current rectification. Check it out: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
From symmetric to asymmetric: tuning photophysical and rectifying properties in [2.2]paracyclophanes
[2.2]Paracyclophane (PCP) scaffolds, with their rigid, non-planar geometries and through-space π-conjugation, offer a unique platform for the development of advanced optoelectronic materials. In this ...

Check out these two new papers from our group (1/2): With @cschaack.bsky.social and Wendu Ding's groups at Wake Forest University, we demonstrate how protonation can significantly modulate the optical properties of allenes @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Allenes as Stimuli-Responsive Chromophores for Visible to Near-Infrared Optical Modulation
Despite their rigid, orthogonal π-systems and synthetic modularity, allenes remain underexplored in functional material design. Here, we report that tetraaryl-substituted allenes undergo clean and rev...

Super stoked about our second JACS! We establish allenes as reversible halochromes with dramatic optical property switching. This work could not have been this successful without the amazing support from @minjungson.bsky.social at BU and the Ding Lab at WFU. Check it out
