Did you know that #stannylenes can shine orange and green?
Philipp elucidated the mechanism of the dual #emission, the #excited state #dynamics, #excimer formation and light-induced bond #homolysis. #Maingroup #tin #photophysics #photochemistry onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.202510044

Can you #recyle your molecular #photocatalyst? Can you use #water in your #photocatalysis? Can you use #sunlight? Can undergrads prepare the photocatalyst on >12 g scale? Out now in Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis lmy.de/BgahY. Thanks to @dfg.de for funding.
