Chiral diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole dyes with different substitution symmetry: impact of adamantyl groups on the photo-physical properties in solution and thin films
Here we propose a comparative study on four chiral 1,4-diketo-3,6-dithienylpyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole (DPP) dyes with different substitution symmetry on the lactam moieties: (i) symmetrically N-substituted...

After almost seven years, I'm very happy to be back at @diamondlightsource.bsky.social for another intense measurement session on our chiral organic materials at B23 bealine! The results are very interesting: I can't wait to disseminate them! Stay tuned! 💪🏻

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field
