What an October we’ve had so far! A big welcome to our new graduate students Cora, Dayun and Yujing! The office is full to bursting, there’s lots of new science to do, and it’s a very exciting time to be in the lab! And congratulations to Soham for having another singlet fission paper accepted, this one in Angewandte Chemie. Through our ongoing collaboration with Satish Patil, we investigated the role of the acetylene linker that’s such a common motif in acene dimer structures. It definitely comes with a cost, but on balance it looks like an advantage for enhanced triplet production. Take a look!
