Our latest Al-Fe research is published in @J_A_C_S. Led by my student Roushan @ChemistryatUIC and our collaboration with Dan Ess of BYU, we are starting to map the chemistry of Al(II) through this mild approach!

Thrilled to share our newest work on the enantioconvergent synthesis of alkyl fluorides with KF, made possible by a synergistic combination of chiral urea and onium salt catalysts. Out today in @NatureCatalysis doi.org/10.1038/s41929… Congrats to @Claire_doo and all of the team!

I am thrilled to share our recent Nature Catalysis cover-featured paper on engineering nonheme iron enzymes for metallophotoredox catalysis, enabling decarboxylative C-N₃ and C-SCN bond formation #Sec19" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4192…. This work was pioneered and led by graduate student Jinyan Rui @JRui7001, with important contributions from postdoc Dr. Xinpeng Mu. It has been a pleasure collaborating with the Marc Garcia-Borràs group @MarcGBQ and Yisong Guo's group @MossbauerLab, who provided valuable insights into the mechanistic aspects of this system using computational and spectroscopic tools. This milestone marks our first venture into photoredox catalysis with metalloenzymes and highlights the remarkable versatility of nonheme enzymes in driving reactions previously unknown in enzymatic catalysis.

We do Ni too!!! Please check this article published in @InorgChem in which our awesome undergrad student Daniel Ye (1st author!) describes the synthesis, characterization and PCET reactivity of a mononuclear NiOH system in three oxidation states. Enjoy! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
