Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation Photoexcitation of organic diradicals bridged by inverted singlet‒triplet systems (InveST) activates exchange that polarizes the radicals into a triplet state. Using model Hamiltonians and multirefere...

Front cover alert! 🚨✨

Our paper on InveST-bridged Organic Diradicals as Spin-Optical Interfaces is now featured on the Front Cover of JCTC. pubs.acs.org/toc/jctcce/2...

Kudos to Lorenzo Savi, @mtbarreca01.bsky.social, and Matteo Bedogni!

How the nitro group position determines the emission properties of π-expanded diketopyrrolopyrroles Two complex π-expanded diketopyrrolopyrroles (EDPPs) have been prepared following a multistep but straightforward strategy. We discovered that the fate of these molecules in the excited state can be c...

Now out in @pccp.rsc.org! 🎉 A fantastic collaboration with Andrea Lapini, the team at LENS (Sara Venturi & Alessandro Iagatti), and the synthetic chemists in Warsaw (Kamil Skonieczny & Daniel Gryko). Check it out!
