Click chemistry is a powerful way to stitch molecules together — but in our new @jacs.acspublications.org paper bit.ly/4cNBqMK we find that not all triazoles are equal! When it comes to #photoswitch the 1,5-regioisomer (not from "click") surprisingly outperforms the classic 1,4🧪⚗️ #molswitch #chemsky
“Clicked” Hydrazone Photoswitches
The length of the linker connecting a photoswitch to a material significantly influences the latter’s properties, with “zero-length” linkers being ideal for optimal photomodulation. The 1,2,3-triazole...

Nice write up Violet but you repeatedly refer to Dr. Fraser Stoddart as Mr. Stoddart throughout. He obtained his PhD in 1966. I believe he has earned the academic title and the recognition it deserves. #chemsky @roysocchem.bsky.social @cenmag.bsky.social @suntimes.bsky.social
Sir Fraser Stoddart changed what was possible when building machines the size of blood cells.
The Northwestern professor shared the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with two colleagues for having “taken chemistry to a new dimension” through nanoscience.

“Mark, you rascal. I’ll have your guts for garters!” Words of passionate support from my dearly departed PhD advisor, Sir Fraser Stoddart, whose tutelage and mentorship forever changed my life, the life of my family, and many others. He was truly our Nobel-worthy noble Knight. My heart is broken.

What do journals need if I’m wanting to publish this figure in a manuscript? Normally I would license a random image and provide the license but since this bears my university logo, is a license still needed? #chemistry #science #publishing

New Kruss bubble tensiometer has arrived and the group can’t wait to get a glimpse of it. Dynamic surface tension studies soon to come! #ChemSky #science #chemistry #softmatter
