- The symposium will start in about 2 hours. Don't miss the opportunity to hear five short talks dealing with diverse topics in the #photochemistry field, followed by a plenary lecture. 👇
- 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. ✍️
- 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

- Nice piece of work Kasper & team. I guess we should update this sentence in our current preprint: "While the influence of TIPS-ethynyl groups was not investigated with the frequently-studied perylene annihilator chromophore, ..."😅
- Excited to share the publication of “Enhancing the Statistical Probability Factor in Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Photon Upconversion via TIPS Functionalization” in @chemicalscience.rsc.org pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
- 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.

- Reposted by Christoph KerzigWe show how photoredox catalysis can bypass Kasha’s rule, enabling reactions from higher excited states. This work, led by the exceptional @bjoernpfund.bsky.social, offers new insights into photochemical reactivity. Published in JACS @jacs.acspublications.org bit.ly/3IysmjX
- 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. molecules_light2025.web.amu.edu.pl
- Reposted by Christoph KerzigNew Hot article from @ckerzig.bsky.social, @gloriusfrank.bsky.social and colleagues: 'Pushing the limit of triplet–triplet annihilation photon upconversion towards the UVC range' 🔥 #OpenAccess 🔓
- 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. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- The last paper of Till's PhD has finally been accepted and is online in JACS Au pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Insights into energy transfer in DNA through a fruitful collaboration with the Wagenknecht lab.
- Reposted by Christoph KerzigSie sind Vorbilder für Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen und prägen durch ihren herausragenden Einsatz in Forschung & Entwicklung den Innovationsstandort 🇩🇪 entscheidend mit: unsere Dozentenpreisträger:innen Corina Andronescu, @ckerzig.bsky.social & Golo Storch! www.vci.de/fonds/preise...
- It was our pleasure. We really enjoyed working with the user-friendly instrument. Many thanks for developing the HARPIA-LIGHT system. Here is the link to the first paper containing measurements carried out with it: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
- Reposted by Christoph KerzigCan 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.
- Many thanks for your kind words. Highly appreciated! It was also great to interact with you during the coffee break.
- 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

- We proudly sponsored the 19th Coordination Chemistry Meeting (KCT 2025) at @uni-muenster.de last week! Congratulations to Matthias Schmitz (@mainzuniversity.bsky.social) for being awarded our best lecture prize for their talk on coulombic dyads as new catalyst class for efficient photocatalysis🎉
