The ICMM2025 in Bordeaux @icmm2025.bsky.social is over. A big thank you to the organizers Rodolphe @cleracr.bsky.social, Guillaume @switchmm-group.bsky.social, Corine and their groups @crpp-bordeaux.bsky.social and ICMCB for their tremendous work. See you all in Ottawa in 2027 organized by Muralee!

So happy this piece is finally out! A tremendous collaborative effort of colleagues and friends from 8 institutions all over Europe. Thank you! doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Photochemistry and photophysics in a single crystal @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social @cleracr.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com

If we were a research group in Japan, we'd look like this:

Now the stage of the 5th Inorganic Chemistry Forum belongs to Dominik Dzierżek, who is proving that part of my PhD thesis published in 2010 is wrong pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Wiktor is very relaxed while presenting the slow magnetic relaxation of single chain magnets based on photoswitchable [Mo(CN)7]4- at the 5th Forum of Inorganic Chemistry in Warsaw.

Magdalena is presenting her PhD research at the Young Forum of the 5th Inorganic Chemistry Forum in Warsaw. Monozak helicene rulez!

At the 5th Inorganic Chemistry Forum in Warsaw with Wiktor, Magda and Dominik! 1st day and conference dinner behind us. Looking forward to the next two days.

Our Hoger glovebox just got new lighting and is now truly ready for light-sensitive early transition metal chemistry!

A novel organic molecule that binds two anions?

#photochromic #crystals of two different diarylethenes synthesized by Kasia Rogacz (recorded by Dr Mateusz Reczyński)

We've got the pleasure to host our good friend Dr Andrei Rogalev from the @esrf.fr at the Jagiellonian University Faculty of Chemistry!

A dancing complex!

fundamental photoreactions
-> violet light = ligand dissociation
-> red light = ligand association

A big thank you to Rodolphe @cleracr.bsky.social, Andrei, Corine and all our collaborators!

Nothing like a Saturday evening with some single #crystal photoirradiation experiments and #structure determination

and here is a movie (20 min) showing how the green single crystals of this metal-cyanide complex respond to violet light
