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

Congratulations to Elliot for passing his PhD defense this morning. 🥳 Thank for the new insights to halogen bonding and for expanding our knowledge on New Zealand! 😀 Wishing you all the best for the future! @ChemieBiochemie @ruhrunibochum

We did not tell you yet about this wonderful work by Charles Loh in @angew_chem , to which we could contribute with an AC determination using #VCDspectroscopy? Well, now we did. 😉 https://t.co/lTDp1rBu9t

Thank you @LesotPhilippe and your co-organizers for having me. It was a great meeting!

Our delegation in Kyoto 🇯🇵: Debbie and Tim presented their latest results at “Chirality 2025” last week and enjoyed Japanese culture, history and food.

Read our recent perspective article on the Challenges and Opportunities of Increasingly Accurate and Complex VCD Experiments and Computations, which is out now in @JPhysChem Letters. (w/ @JulienBloino @SaschaJaehnigen). 👉

At VOA8, we celebrated 50 years of VCD and ROA (1st papers date back to 1973!). During the conf. dinner, we held a historic perspectives session with contributions by @LarryNafie @Rkdukor, Tim Keiderling, Sergio Abbate & Josef Kapitan. 🎂🥳 Thank you for charging these memories!

We enjoyed 40 talks and 33 poster contributions last week at VOA8 (@voaconference) in Bochum. Big congrats to Fredde for winning a poster prize for her study on chiral triplet nitrenes!

We are ready to kick of VOA8 (@voaconference) with the welcome reception at Bermuda Lounge. Zemos als also waiting for us tomorrow morning!

Finally, also many thanks to Tohru Taniguchi for inviting me to @HokkaidoUni in Sapporo. It was a great pleasure to visit you and I really enjoyed the wonderful day and evening with you, @MondeKenji11531, @NobuyaTsuji (@ICReDDconnect) and all others! 😀

Frederike, Malte and Christian joint the Chemistry and Physics at Low Temperature (CPLT2024) meeting in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan. Great science, but not so great weather during the excursion. 🙈

I had a great day at @KyotoU_News Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Many thanks to @hirosh_naka and his great colleagues for hosting me and for providing us with this great food experience!

Great work! Happy we could contribute an absolute configuration to this nice study. 😀 #VCDspectroscopy

How complicated can it be to predict the #VCD of proline at different pH values? Deborah shows in her #firstfirstauthor paper in @PCCP: Very! 🤯 Spoiler: The orientation of single H2O in large Pro-(H2O)n clusters affects the spectrum! Read more: https://t.co/fAmyuwjaok

We finally succeeded in recording the #VCD spectrum of a chiral high-spin organic triplet nitrene under MI conditions. Read the full story now in @ChemEurJ! 👉 https://t.co/ets7Om2GmM @grk2376 @SolvationSci @dfg_public

Lookling forward to it. :)

📢**Abstract deadline getting close! ** Submit your contribution until tomorrow (May 15th) via https://t.co/c9WsO9IURC! Do not procrastinate, do not tell yourself "they'll postpone the deadline anyways". 😉

It is with profound sadness that IOCB Prague announces the sudden passing of Prof. Josef Michl, a globally esteemed Czech chemist, on Monday, 13 May, at the age of 85. Prof. Michl led research groups at @IOCBPrague and @CUBoulder. "He was one of the few true geniuses I have had

Great work, to which we had the pleasure of contributing an absolute configuration by #VCDspectroscopy!

**Registration is open now!** Join us for the 8th Intl. Conference on Vibrational Optical Activity (VOA8) at @RuhrUniBochum! We celebrate 50 years of VOA with a special program! More info & registration: https://t.co/KikJLvoA6u @voaconference #VCDspectroscopy #ROA #VOA8
