At ISNA-21, we presented our brand-new molecules: highly twisted alkenes with a triplet ground state.
The first paper on this topic is coming soon. Stay tuned!
The 21st International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds has just kicked off at Peking University, China!
A new paper from our group after a long interval. This project took a total of 4 years. Congratulations to all the coauthors for their hard work!

It appears that access to the ISNA-21 website is blocked from Singapore. We would appreciate it if this issue could be resolved.
A few weeks late on this announcement , but the ISNA-21 website is now LIVE:

Please bookmark the page and visit often. There is a great lineup of speakers, with many more to come. We hope you will join us in Beijing on August 9-14, 2026!

Our synthetic journey into nitrogen-embedded buckybowls began with azacorannulene, advanced through azahomocorannulene, and culminated in azadihomocorannulene, our first diradical(oid) molecule! Congratulations to Yosuke and Weifan.

Very thankful with Robert @RJGilliard for hosting me at MIT 🙏.
Fantastic host, very nice person and a amazing scientist 🤗. Thank you so much for everything Robert! 🙏
Tomorrow, Harvard 🥳
Had a great post #ISNA20 meeting at Boston with @RJGilliard and @cromeronieto. Can't wait to visit to MIT tomorrow.
Prof Ito enjoyed giving a lecture on the second day of #ISNA20.
Now we can relax and focus more on other letures and posters on exciting aromatic molecules!
We are participating in #ISNA20 just getting started at Toronto!
