Congratulations Prof Bela Bode!
Officially inducted as Professor of the University of St Andrews today. @uniofstandrews.bsky.social @st-andrewschem.bsky.social This would not have been possible without the contributions co-workers and collaborators past and present. Many thanks to you all.

Check out our latest in @chemrxiv.org (dx.doi.org/10.26434/che...), where we demonstrate the use of ascorbate as a sacrificial reductant. Here, poorly soluble reagents are not an issue when conducting #photocatalysis in the solid state.⚗️🧪
