We are delighted to share @oscarkelly.bsky.social's brilliant development of synthetic chlorophyll mimics that provide insight into photosynthesis (with contributions from the excellent @marcelswart.bsky.social): pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... @researchireland.ie @tcddublin.bsky.social
Electrostatic Fields Induce Accelerated Proton Coupled Electron Transfer Rates in Chlorophyll Model Compounds
Chlorophyll-based pigments are crucial mediators of redox processes in photosynthesis, serving as the primary electron donors in photosystems I and II. Despite their structural similarities, these pig...

An excellent CSCB symposium in UCD last week, with @oscarkelly.bsky.social presenting his discoveries in modulating charge at a porphyrin. #chemsky #loveirishresearch
A good #chemsky week so far, Christmas dinner done, three Senior Sophister theses submitted, and a new group photo (all we need now is for reviewer #3 to be nice!).
We have two openings for PDRAs working in iron catalysis for organic synthesis as part of a funded EPSRC Fellowship. Applicants with strong backgrounds in inorganic synthesis and organometallic chemistry are strongly encouraged to apply. Link below: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...
