Congratulations to Skylar on successfully defending her thesis!!! Wishing her all the best to her future career!!! Congrats Skylar!!! 🎉🎉
The Role of Torsion on the Force-Coupled Reactivity of a Fluorenyl Naphthopyran Mechanophore | Journal of the American Chemical Society @Maxwell_Robb @TheRobbGroup @CaltechCCE @Caltech pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Today we report in @J_A_C_S a novel and highly modular platform for mechanically triggered chemiluminescence (bright light emission) from polymers. Congrats to @PengLiuChem, Yu-Ling (Debbie), and coworkers! Collab with @ShabatGroup. @CaltechCCE @Caltech pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Congrats to Max!!!
Well, I guess it’s Twitter Official…Yesterday I was promoted to Professor with tenure @Caltech in @CaltechCCE. I am beyond grateful to my amazing students, colleagues, mentors, family, and friends that helped me get here. I feel truly lucky. Thank you!
Happy to be at #ACSSpring2024 to celebrate @Maxwell_Robb @Piero_Canepa and Jarad Mason's awards!!! Congratulations!!!! 🎉🎉
So happy I was able to return to Caltech last week and see my thesis advisor @Maxwell_Robb give a fantastic talk on all the beautiful work he and the Robb group have done these past few years.
Last week, Prof.@Maxwell_Robb gave us an amazing talk on polymer mechanochemistry. We are very excited to tell people about our cool chemistry! Also thanks to Dr.@Molly__McFadden for giving a wonderful intro!
First group outing of 2024! Hotpot🥘!
Congrats to Dr.@TianZeng_May for successfully defending her thesis today!!! We send our best wishes to her postdoc research! Congrats May!!!🎉🎊🎊
@J_A_C_S @TheRobbGroup @CaltechCCE @Caltech this is a masterpiece @Maxwell_Robb @TheRobbGroup
One last paper from @TheRobbGroup to finish off the year… Congratulations to Debbie on her paper online now in @ChemicalScience! We exploit a unique fragmentation pathway using a self-immolative linker to design a mechanophore for dual payload release. doi.org/10.1039/D3SC06…
Congratulations to @TianZeng_May and coauthors on the latest @TheRobbGroup publication in @J_A_C_S! A new nonscissile mechanophore design enables polymers that can release hundreds of small molecule payloads with force. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3…
Who is your Sockret Santa? Well the Robb group today received some really cute socks and creative deliveries! 🎅
