One of the articles is this beauty www.nature.com/articles/s41... by @bala07.bsky.social And here is an interesting backstory - the actual TOC we wanted to use can be found below. It didn't make the cut because of the war in #ukraine #chemsky #molswitch 🧪⚗️

Not all my ideas as department chair work out, but this one was a huge success. First departmental jigsaw puzzle finished and framed, second one already taking shape

Latest from the group in JACS
shows a 1,2BF2 shift in an BF2-azo switch, resulting in a BODIHY fluorophore. Inspired by leaves that change color in the fall we used the temp and light responsiveness to design multichromatic PDMS clovers. bit.ly/3uUmD1g #chemsky 🧪
