Postdoctoral research chemist. Into photochemistry, f-elements, and catalysis. He/him.
Delighted to share this work in its final form, where we reveal some really unusual and fascinating photochemistry (no bias at all).

Thanks to past MChem Katie and collaborators Jack, Péter and Imre for critical contributions to this combined synthetic, photophysical, and computational study.

New preprint on ChemRxiv!
Our latest exploration of conPET/e-PRC #photoredox highlights preassembly and "anti-Kasha" reactivity, even in a system with a long ES lifetime.
Thanks to all involved, including collaborators at HUN-REN and Uni of Warwick.

Counterintuitive Photochemistry of an Isolated Acridinyl Radical: ConPET via Preassembly Despite a Long-Lived Excited State
Photoredox chemistry has seen a dramatic rise in popularity in recent years, but mechanistic understanding has persistently lagged behind reaction development itself. This is particularly true for the...
