On my way to Basel to attend the Dreyfus Lectureship, which will be given by Jim McCusker. Sun is shining and the train is almost on time. #MondayMorning

The first online symposium organized by the @gdch.de Division of Photochemistry will take place next week (Nov. 5, 2025, 3 pm CET zone).
tu-braunschweig.webex.com/tu-braunschw...
key: Photo2025
5 talks by talented students (one will be awarded🎉) followed by a plenary lecture. Save the date. ✍️

Till defended his PhD thesis today.🍾 Extremely convincing discussion and great performance resulted in degree with highest distinction💪. All the best for your postdoc in Bologna, where Giacomo Ciamician did pioneering work in #photochemistry. Curious to see what Till will achieve 🤔

Julian's manuscript dealing with a novel biphenyl annihilator and unusual effects of different substituents. Is it a new benchmark system for blue-to-UV upconversion? Read about it here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
Many thanks to our collaboration partner @nobuhiroyanai.bsky.social and Masanori.

The next masterpiece from Matthias focusing on Coulombic dyads as new #photocatalyst class has been accepted in ACIE. Higher quantum yields in red-light catalysis by adding an inexpensive salt to use #Os as efficiently as possible. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @labheinze.bsky.social

Two weeks left for completing the registration for the Molecules and Light 2025 conference in beautiful Poznań. Also abstract submission is still possible.

One photon or two photons, that is the question. We discuss mechanistic challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities for future research in two-photon photocatalysis @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Many thanks to first-authors Julian and Sophie.

Our collaborative manuscript with the Wagenknecht lab (KIT) is finally online. Dexter energy transfer in DNA and its distance dependence has been observed using TA spectroscopy. #triplet #photochemistry

Many thanks to @hadlingtongroup.bsky.social @joshabbenseth.bsky.social Gabriele Hierlmeier and Frank Tambornino for highlighting our Coulombic dyad approach as a new trend.
