@GriceChemistry thanks!

@LabLacy_UB Cool stuff!

Congrats to Lacy Lab authors for new publication in OM. Dinuclear Mn Complexes Featuring Formal Metal–Metal Double Bonds | Organometallics pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

One of the most used photoredox reactions in pharma is the deoxygenative cross-coupling using deoxazole ("NHC"), and the industry wide uptake of this diversity generating transformation has just been brilliant to see. This new paper from Johnson & Johnson (by Shane Plunkett and Justin Diccianni), makes the protocol even more general than before. Super cool stuff and def worth a read!

@DmitryPerekalin thanks!

@LabLacy_UB This is our experimental observation. However, the effect was actually known for a long time, see for example: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/j1…

Beware of unexpected effect of amine in 1H NMR. You expect your residual standard signal of CHCl3 to be at 7.26 ppm, but it can actually be shifted for 0.5 ppm due to hydrogen bonding with a strong amine.

@sajid_saikia This is probably an example of the phenomenon called "obliteration by incorporation"

Often I see researches cite irrelevant papers for discussions involving Kasha's rule. Those papers are like they have just mentioned the word "Kasha's rule" Sad! isn't it? Give 10 min extra in finding the actual papers I just figured out the actual paper has only 2231 citations

@demyanpro Thanks Demyan! We've got one of those in the works too, all fingers and toes crossed.

@LabLacy_UB I have some advice which may seem obvious: PRF New Directions grant application? They often appreciate treading uncharted waters if the hypotheses are sound and there’s a bit of preliminary data to support the claims.

Feeling the sting of rejections for our innovative research in a new, untrodden field. Established funding mechanisms often favor the familiar, is their room for the unfamiliar? Any advice or solidarity from fellow researchers navigating similar waters? #AcademicTwitter

This time we answered this question👇️Thanks to @FayzullinRobert, all the team members, and 4 unanonymous reviewers! Please come to talk with me at poster B64 if you are at EuCOMC. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Nickel is a highly abundant metal available in major reserves worldwide. It is known for its diverse reactivity, but could it be a candidate for use in olefin metathesis? Find out in our latest article out now in @J_A_C_S! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

(A little late on this one, sorry!) Congrats to Zuley Roche-Rivera (MS) and Dr. Sanchita Paul on their degree completion. Good luck to you both and we miss you already!

Lacy lab 2025 group photo! Good luck to Dr. Saju as she parts the @LabLacy_UB and @UBChemistry. She started our Mn(III) chemistry!

@JonathanLKuo @J_A_C_S @psu_chemistry Glad to see this finally out!!

Excited to share our latest work out in @J_A_C_S ! Building off previous observations that oxidative additions to electrophilic metals might be a little different... including evidence for the first Pd(IV)-dihydride. @psu_chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats to Brandon Mercado @Fullerene , our X-ray crystallographer! He received the Lorimer Award for helping to bring MicroED to Yale, positioning the university as a leader in this transformative new method for chemical structural analysis. bit.ly/3CtueHP
