Helically Chiral Mixed‐Valence Systems Comprising N‐Heterotriangulenes: Stabilization of the Cationic Species by π‐Expansion [5]Helicene-bridged dimeric N-heterotriangulenes were synthesized. Their successive oxidation allowed the study of the electronic coupling between the nitrogen centers. The radical cation with its st....

Check out our latest work on a N-triangulene mixed-valence system, in collaboration with Prof. Kivala! 👏 Congrats to Simon, Marcel, and all co-authors!

Picture of OLED devices and how the handedness of the emitter relates to the handedness of circularly polarised light emitted

Why control photon spin from OLEDs using molecular handedness when you can do it electrically? Check out our new preprint. Very excited about this one! @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social #Chemsky #Physics 🧪

A reaction scheme showing a three step conversion of a thiophene-naphthyl stilbene to a bis(thieno)[6]helicene.

I'm proud to present our group's first independent paper! 🥳In this preprint, we show a scalable (> 2g, almost 200 mg/h) synthesis of thia-, oxa-, and azahelicenes in continuous flow. Well done, Katherine, Chenyu, Shain, and Yang!

Tracking DOT1L methyltransferase activity by stable isotope labelling using a selective synthetic co-factor - Communications Chemistry Histone methylation by histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTs) is a vital post-translational modification regulating gene expression, however, selective mapping of methylation by proteomics analysis...

There is a lot of redundancy in protein methylation. Here is our method to track individual enzyme activity. Exemplified for DOT1L, but could be more broadly applied in the future. Out now in Communications Chemistry. Congrats Nicole and Harry! #chemsky #epigenetics 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s42...
