I am thrilled to share that our work on a new NHC-betaine mechanophore is finally out. This project has been a meaningful journey and I am delighted that it all comes together.
If you’re curious about mechanocatalysts and organocatalysis, this will be interesting. 👇🏻

In our first paper of 2026, @aliceieong.bsky.social puts NHC organocatalyst in action with mechanical force in ACS Catalysis!
🔨 NHC generated by milling a new betaine mechanophore to catalyse transesterification and polymerisation reactions.

Force-Generated N-Heterocyclic Carbene Organocatalyst
Controlling the life cycle of polymer materials, for example, by extending their useful lifetime and by accelerating their recycling, is crucial to ensure a better future. Such properties can be intro...
