This work offers a detailed vibrational reference for [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ and [Mo₃S₁₃]²⁻, establishing Raman and IR spectroscopy as robust techniques for characterising Mo–S molecular clusters in both fundamental and applied research: doi.org/10.1088/2515...

In this paper (doi.org/10.1007/s113...) a simple, straight-forward protocol for the determination of radiotracer distribution in excised tissue samples based on weighed standards of the injected formulation included in the activity measurement is presented.

This paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.jo...) highlights the pivotal role of charge carrier-selective interface engineering in broadening the scope of available semiconductor materials for photo(electro)catalytic oxidation reactions, irrespective of the doping type of the light-absorbing material.

This study pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... experimentally demonstrates the manifestation of strong electronic correlations in the geometric and electronic structures of a single molecule.

Our results (doi.org/10.1063/5.02...)
reveal that surface charges significantly alter ionic conductivity and determine the direction of the electro-osmotic flow and of the diffusio-osmotic current, thereby advancing the understanding of transport at the nanoscale. @chem.uzh.ch

The @locbp.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch developed a gene expression reporter system based on the coexpression of the protein of interest BiP/GRP78 and the reporter HaloTag. chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Congratulation to Lukas, former PhD student of the Spingler group @chem.uzh.ch 👏👏👏

The synergistic effect achieved by combining PDT, PTT and photocages with traditional treatment modalities represents a significant advancement in cancer treatment. New findings presented in ChemComm (pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...) by Flavia Kradolfer et al. @chem.uzh.ch.

The @chem.uzh.ch was the first university in Europe to admit women and the first in the world to award a doctorate in chemistry to a woman, Lydia Sesemann from Viborg. The Swiss Academy of Sciences is now honoring the UZH as an important historical site for chemistry. www.chem.uzh.ch/en/admin/eve...
