A paper (very) long in the making, currently available @ChemRxiv - here we use aluminium transfer reagents to access electronically diverse diimine (BIAN) ligands! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

If you wonder about how to harness innate excited-state reactivity in TM photocatalysis to design new synthetic methods, you can find some guidelines and a rationalization attending to orbitals in this Perspective, just published in @ACSCatalysis : pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… (1/3)

New from a #merckchemistry internal collaboration with @cyndihe and Stephanie Felten: ML and active learning as a tool for heterocycle CH functionalization method development. Now out in @JOC_OL pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Now available @ChemRxiv and inspired by the work of @CornellaLab, @kearyengle and @john_montg - we exploit the redox non-innocent nature of BIAN ligands to deliver bench-stable low valent nickel precatalysts for use in coupling rxns chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Really excited to share our last work on Ir(II) vs Ir(I) as catalysts (Ir(II) wins, but share the same mechanism!): Now at @NatureChemistry "An open-shell Ir(II)/Ir(IV) redox couple outperforms an Ir(I)/Ir(III) pair in olefin isomerization" nature.com/articles/s4155…

Have you ever wondered about H2 pressure in your balloon? Here is my answer: 0.05 bar.

Postdocs do a lot of invisible labor in academia. The majority of which is helping PhD students. Many of us are happy to do it, but when students fail to acknowledge that help, especially in front of the PI, it kinda kills the vibe. Give people credit for their work.

Been working on some nickel chemistry and I'm absolutely obsessed with how beautiful and easy they are to crystallize. 😍😍😍

Are low coordination numbers required for stabilizing Ni=C double bonds? Check out the work of Pablo Pérez-García and @MariaLSP14 together with bonding experts @PascalVermeeren and @CeliaFGuerra, just accepted in @ChemEurJ! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Do you think Suzuki-Miyaura coupling always requires the presence of a base? No! Check out our newest publication about the SMC of aryl thianthrenium salts under acidic conditions! Out now in @NatureSynthesis! rdcu.be/dR0sc Congrats to all involved!

Latest from @ChirikGroup and @Merck @NSF collaboration. Cationic cobalt(I) sandwich complexes as precursors for catalyst discovery. Congrats Maya, @connormacneil and @LMendelsohnChem. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The hegemony of cationic olefin metathesis catalysts has ended. We report anionic water-soluble catalysts with improved water-stability and productivity. 🌊 Congrats to Christian and Richard! @ACSCatalysis @uOttawaScience pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🛍️ Yellow powder that costs almost nothing. 🛍️ Scalable synthesis of a ligand for Z-stereoretentive olefin metathesis catalysts that starts from inexpensive and readily available 1,2-diaminobenzene and oxalic acid. Read more at @ChemRxiv : doi.org/10.26434/chemr… #catalysis

Our work, which shows the first P-center that can activate the H-H bond through an oxidative addition type reaction and be used for catalytic hydrogenation—unprecedented for single main group centers—is now published in @NatureChemistry. doi.org/10.1038/s41557…
