Excellent Work Pradip.
Excited to share our work @angew_chem, demonstrating a one-step methylation turning a bipyridine COF into a dicationic, electron-deficient framework that enables C–F bond activation under visible light!☀️ A great collaboration with @DA_catalysisLab. https://t.co/QREX2eprE9

Excellent work JD
New work by @ShashiGomi shows we only need a water-soluble nanocage and CT interactions to force stilbene to a "unidirectional" catalytic photoisomerization, without photostationary states @TIFRScience thank you @Ayan_Nation1st #Shovan @iacskolkata

Great work Tokeer.
The work first time elucidates the novelty of the material in CO gas sensing application with maximum sensing response which endorses new ways of developing such type of materials for environmental gas sensing applications. @CSIR_IND @LabCatalysis

Thank you @shobhawarrier & @reddifnews for capturing my reflections on working with my postdoc mentor Nobel Laureate Prof. Omar Yaghi- a scientist whose vision & generosity continue to inspire generations. Honored to share a few memories from that journey.
'It was from him I learnt that if you gave the student the freedom to find his own path, he would be more courageous to experiment.' says Prof. Rahul Banerjee @banerjee_r who did his post doc under #ProfOmarYaghi the #NobelLaureate 20 years ago. https://t.co/6eB2RIp7ZU
