The lab website is up, and the Twitter page is live! Go follow to stay updated on our labs research and progress as we get started at Riverside.

Interested in ROMP? @BenRElling and I put together a deep dive for anyone from beginners to long time ROMPers. pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

New vacuum oven means its time for some materials testing!

Was a blast having @q_michaudel out to @ChemistryUCR. Thanks for coming!

Glassblowers rule

Had our first white elephant after a long day of lab cleanup! Thankful for this great group.

POSTDOC AD: I'm looking to hire a postdoc who can bring their expertise in low-valent main group molecular synthesis and apply it to applications in molecular electronics. Sounds cool, right? More details and application instructions are attached. Please help spread the word!

Congrats to Xuefen for passing her SYRE exam! More exciting updates from the lab coming soon!

Check out my last piece of work in my PhD with @Mechanophore! We developed a “cartoon picture” ( a triangle!) to make sense of mechanochemistry under tension. Special thanks to all the reviewers who helped to greatly improved the manuscript! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4….

@TimothyASu @angew_chem Congrats Tim and team. Very nice work! 🎉

Ashley and Lan's staffanes conductance paper is now published in @angew_chem! Here is them yesterday with some celebratory limoncello. Link to accepted manuscript is here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… (1/4)

Come join us for our first virtual event of the season! #GradSchool #PhD #PhDRecruitment #Riverside

Please check out our work @J_A_C_S on Multicolor and White Emission from Mechanically Caged AIEgens. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… I am glad it is also selected as the ACS Editor’s Choice! This work was done with a phenomenal undergrad @CHEM_Kecheng who will apply for grad school soon

@N_A_Romero and I are again organizing a Spring @AmerChemSociety symposium at the interface of organic and polymer chemistry! Abstracts due Sept 30, 2024! New: graduate student travel award! ✈️ See flyer for details! Tell your friends to apply! @POLY_ACS @ACSorganic

several positions in the @gpggrp opening soon. Foundation Models, ML, automation, catalysis, physical organic chemistry, materials, HTE, HTVS, comp chem, and more. stay tuned.

@JuliaPribyl Congrats Julia and team! Awesome work 👏🏼

I’m pleased to share this work from my lab, out now in Macromolecules. Special thanks to Scott Grayson and his student Amman Nadeem! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thermal Formation of Metathesis-Active Tungsten Alkylidene Complexes from Cyclohexene | Journal of the American Chemical Society @UCRiverside #Metathesis #Tungsten #Alkylidene #Cyclohexene pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

For those of you who like polymer mechanochemistry, this is a MUST read by @YunyanSun. Was such an amazing project to see developed from start to finish. Congrats to the entire team for this foundational piece of work!

Things you only see in Riverside 🫏

Interested in joining the UCR chemistry department as a graduate student? Check out the video below to learn more information!

This work is just the first step of many in our pursuit to understand the polymerization of cyclic allenes. Stay tuned for more in the future coming out of the @NearyGroupUCR

Final piece of work from my postdoc out now in @MacroJrnls_ACS! Wouldn't be possible without awesome collaborators and @meganmurphy157 who struck the initial discovery! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
