Yippee! Our third paper dealing with the special biipo ligand and an “Unexpected Boost in Activity of a
Cu(I) Photosensitizer by Stabilizing a Transient Excited State” is now published in Inorganic Chemistry.
This was only possible due to a strong joint cooperation. Many thanks to the groups of Prof.
Lochbrunner (Rostock) und Prof. Niedner-Schatteburg (Kaiserslautern).
