Last week, members of the Institute of Advanced Materials and friends of the Professor and the Institute celebrated the long and successful scientific career of Professor Andrzej Miniewicz, who has decided to retire after more than forty years of research. Professor Miniewicz was a pioneer in nonlinear optical studies of molecular crystals at the Chemistry […]
Chalcogen bonding interactions have attracted significant attention in a broad chemistry community, with a particular focus on their ability to stabilise the key transition states in various organic synthetic routes. In this work, we demonstrate that they can also be harnessed in selective photoredox reactions, which cannot be otherwise achieved with alternative approaches to photoreduction. […]
The activation of rhodopsin, the light-sensitive G-protein-coupled receptor responsible for dim-light vision in vertebrates, is driven by an ultrafast excited-state double-bond isomerization with a quantum efficiency of almost 70%. The origin of such light sensitivity is not understood and a key question is whether in-phase nuclear motion controls the quantum efficiency value. In this study […]
