It was a great honor to receive the Early Career Researcher Lectureship Prize from the RSC Photophysics and Photochemistry Group!
I had the chance to present my results on nanographenes at the Imperial College during the latest RSC meeting.

Many thanks for the recognition and kind invitation!

How does Near-Infrared-Photoswitching work? Our newest research delivers an ultrafast molecular movie of the all-red-light photoswitch peri-Anthracenethioindigo (PAT) in action! Aided by excited state theory, its mechanism of motion is fully revealed.

Had a fantastic week of measurements at @mpip-mainz.mpg.de — thanks a lot to @giulialavarda.bsky.social for hosting me. Honored to be the first guest of her group!

Really enjoyed learning about THz spectroscopy in the group of Prof. Bonn. And many thanks to Prof. Blom for the fruitful discussions!

When optical features miss excited-state PCET, environmental effects step in. We show that pressure not only reveals mechanistic sensitivity but can even switch the reaction from stepwise to concerted.
Big congrats to Daniel!

Happy to share our latest JACS publication on twisted molecular nanoribbons! Our study reveals that both external factors and ribbon length greatly influence their deactivation—longer ribbons even enable intramolecular singlet fission. Many thanks to everyone involved! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Intramolecular Singlet Fission in Individual Graphene Nanoribbons─Competition with a Charge Transfer
Graphene nanoribbons (NRs) constitute a versatile platform for developing novel materials, where their structure governs their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties while also shaping their excited-state dynamics. Here, we investigate a set of three twisted N-doped molecular NRs of increasing length, obtained by linearly fusing perylene diimide to pyrene and pyrazino- or thiadiazolo-quinoxaline residues. By employing various temperature-dependent time-resolved spectroscopy techniques, we reveal how the flexible twisted NR geometry promotes the formation of a mixed electronic state with varying contributions from locally excited and charge-transfer (CT) states. The fate of this mixed state is highly sensitive to the molecular geometry, length, and solvent polarity. For the shortest NR, intersystem crossing dominates the deactivation pathway, efficiently generating triplets in low-polarity solvents. In contrast, for the extended NRs, intramolecular singlet fission (SF) takes place within a single nanoribbon. This is enabled by enhanced superexchange coupling due to a pronounced push–pull nature and the existence of multiple localized π-electron states caused by heteroatom doping, thereby circumventing the need for dimeric interactions typically associated with conventional SF systems. In higher-polarity environments, evidence of a (diabatic) CT state emerges. These findings underscore the intricate relationship between geometry, energy levels, and excited-state dynamics in twisted N-doped NRs.
