Another great collaboration with @SidlerEric and @FeringaLab is now published in @angew_chem! Building on our previous work, Eric prepared a few large, formally antiaromatic systems with interesting (chir)optical and redox properties. Check it out here: https://t.co/qLVJBp3zmO

👩🔬Our new paper is out in Chem! @FeringaLab. We unveil how light-driven rotary motors behave in lipid membranes—and why system-specific characterization is crucial. Structure & polarity shape membrane interaction and function. Read (or see comments):

I'm profoundly touched by the loss of Sir Fraser. Meeting him was a life-changing experience, as I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the unwavering support he offered to younger generations, regardless of their origins. I couldn't be more grateful. Rest in peace, Fraser.
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide. ➡️ https://t.co/S7e0nwfruD
