Congrats to Daniil for his publication in @chemcomm.rsc.org bit.ly/4l8B3jd showing how hydrazone photoswitches can be used in Raman scattering spectroscopy. A step forward for using hydrazones in super-resolution stimulated Raman scattering microscopy #molswitch #chemsky 🧪⚗️
Alkyne hydrazones for Raman scattering spectroscopy
We explored alkyne-functionalized hydrazone photoswitches and enhanced their performance, achieving improved UV resolution, higher photostationary states, and tunable alkyne shifts (up to 34 cm−1), es...

Excited to share the publication of our automated characterisation platform for measuring the quantum yield and half life of molecular photoswitches. The method is easy to use and reduce also the needed amount for characterisation.
