Three-state molecular switch based on terarylene photo- or redox-induced reversible isomerisation
Multi-addressable molecular photoswitches whose isomerisation can be triggered not only by light, but also by other stimuli are appealing for the development of novel smart materials as well as for br...

A remarkable transformation in @rsc.org prizes.
30% of prizes recognise teams rather than individuals (up from 5%).
36% of prize-winners are early-career (up from 4%)
38% of prize winners are women (up from 25%)
Twice as many prizes for work outside universities.

We're firmly into autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, so it's once again time to share one of my favourite chemistry infographics on the kaleidoscope of chemical colours found in autumn leaves! 🍂

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.

"Aryl azopyrroles as visible light photoswitchable TRPA1 ligands" by Pui-Ying Lam (Medical College of Wisconsin) and Matthew Fuchter (Imperial College London, Oxford University) et al. @fuchtermatt.bsky.social

Read it here: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...
Promotional image for the paper titled Aryl azopyrroles as visible light photoswitchable TRPA1 ligands. The image shows the interconversion of the E-isomer and Z-isomer of the new molecule TRPswitch C with 405 nm light and 525 nm light, respectively. The text reads: novel photoswitch class, visible-light switching, and in vivo PMR testing.

I need some help 🙂

I am working on a piece about women in STEM, either consciously or not, code switching. Not just in communication, but in appearance, mannerism, etc.

Have you? How? Maybe you don’t anymore, but what are some things you did early career or see others doing?

This review was a labour of love, originally commissioned by a 'high-impact' journal.
The reviewers utterly hated it, saying it added nothing of value to the literature.
It ended up in a journal with an impact factor of 3.5.
Today it reached 100 citations in <<2 years!!

We felt a sense of urgency to summarize why mixing matters in synthetic organic chemistry.

Our takeaway: don’t toss those stir bars yet!
The truth is more complex than it may seem.
