Massive congratulations to @dmac68 and @ben_list on winning the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry!

Think like a plant! That's what researchers @Princeton did when they developed a catalyst that makes chemical reactions productive for longer. Based on how photosynthesis works, they slowed down a step in a chemical process to get more out of it: chemistry.princeton.edu/news/scholeskn…

Congratulations to @BioLECEFRC's @gabriela_ssc, Prof. Abigail Doyle, and @todd_hyster, who have all won 2022 ACS National Awards! cen.acs.org/people/awards/…

The @MacMillan_Lab published today in "Nature Chemistry" on the photoredox-catalyzed site-selective functionalization of tyrosine residues, in collab with the Scholes Lab and @BMSNews. Congrats Beryl, Daniel, Steven, Daniel, Greg, Dave, and all: go.nature.com/3hctckV

Our latest work in @J_A_C_S uses pulse radiolysis to directly generate & probe Ni(I) intermediates commonly invoked in cross-coupling, as part of a great collaboration with Matt Bird @MBirdChem & coworkers at @BrookhavenLab through @BioLECEFRC. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja….

We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate with expertise in synthetic photochemistry and an interest in mechanistic studies to join the @BioLECEFRC team at @BrookhavenLab. jobs.bnl.gov/job/upton/post… biolec.princeton.edu

Glad to be part of this work. New perspective from @BioLECEFRC: Solar fuels and feedstocks: the quest for renewable black gold pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

New perspective from @BioLECEFRC ! with @Dr_Dani_AR @minjung_son and led by the twitterless Hannah Sayre. Solar Fuels and Feedstocks: The Quest for Renewable Black Gold - now published in Energy & Environmental Science pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @doescience @EES_journal

What is the role for quantum vibrations in the transfer of electrons for solar energy conversion? Check out research by Princeton Prof Greg Scholes and his team in Nature Chemistry @BioLECEFRC vimeo.com/489109930

Just out in @J_A_C_S, research from @BioLECEFRC showing that direct excitation of flavin hydroquinone within “ene”-reductase active sites enables new substrates to participate in photoenzymatic reactions. Congrats Braddock, Phillip, Dan, Yuji, Greg, Todd. #chemistry #phdchat

A more environmentally friendly and less wasteful way to produce the polymers that make up plastics is to use UV light. With our support, researchers from @NCState have found ways to use lower energy yellow or green light to make polymer gels news.ncsu.edu/2020/09/photoa…

Researchers at @Princeton have yielded a new platform to allow chemists to reinterpret the rules of stereochemistry and stereocontrol, a discovery with important implications for the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries chemistry.princeton.edu/news/hyster-an…

The organisers of this week's #BlackInChem event spoke to @ChemistryWorld about their stories and hopes for the event. Let's amplfy Black voices and celebrate Black excellence in chemistry. Follow @BlackInChem @Devin_Eleven @onlyayanna_ & @That_Astro_Chic ⚗️🧪 and get involved

Y’all ready for the flyer for #BlackinChem ?! 👀👀👀👀👀 @That_Astro_Chic @onlyayanna_ @KathinatedDrink @blackinthelab @NatRodLopes1 @hi_d_nq and I are sooooooo excited 🎉🎉🎉 Mark your calendars!

Phil Castellano (@CastellanoGroup) writes on the progress towards deterministic control of thermally activated delayed photoluminescence - which promises bespoke photosensitizers and light emitters - in the latest #JACSPerspective acspubs.co/tNMT50AgGJ4

Congrats to @RemiFayad for her first, first-author paper in the @CastellanoGroup @NCStateChem with @PhotonComplex done in collaboration with the Reiser group @uni_regensburg. @l_halaoui @NCStateChemGSA @BioLECEFRC @doescience pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@angew_chem paper by Tomas Hudlicky:

Excitation of Ni-photoredox intermediates generates d-d states that can form Ni(I) via Ni-aryl homolysis. Read more about this work from @PrincetonChem @NCStateChem @BioLECEFRC: acspubs.co/k30S30qovQA

This is a fun project supported by @doescience @BioLECEFRC and it has been fun working with Abby Doyle and her students and Greg Scholes and his group. #chemtwitter @CastellanoGroup @sgarakyaraghi #photoredox

Congrats to @gabriela_ssc @johnsonchem @DincaGroupMIT! @BioLECEFRC @NCStateChemGSA
