Our latest work in @ChemicalScience investigates porous salt thin film growth mechanisms, and effects of thickness on metalation of the films. Congratulations to everyone involved in this paper from our lab, as well as our wonderful collaborators! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

In our latest paper now out in @J_A_C_S, we report a combined experimental and computational investigation of N–H activation and C–N coupling promoted by anodically generated iodanyl radicals. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to Arpan, Ph.D. #13 from our lab. Arpan has been a beacon of tenacity, and we are very proud of all his accomplishments. Wishing him the best in all his future endeavours!

Excited to share our recent pre-print about PCO-group transfer by pincer-supported Ni-PCO complexe to provide P-Analogues of B-Lactams. Check it out here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Congratulations to Aishanee, Ph.D. #12 from our lab. Aishanee will be joining Holland lab at Yale as a postdoc, we can't wait to see all the amazing chemistry she does there!

Celebrating our 100th publication around our group's 10-year anniversary with our latest review on 'Synthesis and Application of Bioactive N‐Functionalized Aziridines' in @angew_chem. Check it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Check out our recent foray on Molecular Design Considerations for Azobenzene Anolytes in ACS Omega. Congratulations to Ananya, Uddalak, Haley and others involved. Excellent contributions from Dr. Gurkan and Dr. Pentzer. @ACS_Omega pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

In our latest paper now live at @ACSCatalysis, we probe the role of a new Co-based MOF in aerobic oxidation catalysis, and highlight the importance of carrying out kinetic experiments to evaluate the origins of catalytic activity. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thrilled to see such a familiar face. Congrats Dave! 🎉

Let's take a closer look at synthetic tractability using in crystallo photochemistry in our latest paper, now out in ACS Cent. Sci. (@ACSPublications). Nice job Aishanee! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🎉🧪 @TAMUChemistry seniors Ryan O’Shea and Saim Waheed have been awarded @NSF Graduate Research Fellowships! The prestigious award will support their research in quantum materials and green chemistry. #AggieResearch Read more: tx.ag/CHEM2025NSF

Congrats to Hao Tan! PhD #11 from the group. Hao has been an amazing mentor to multiple graduate students in the group and has pushed the boundaries of N-aminopyrdinium chemistry. We are very proud of him and wish him the best on his future endeavours.

Check out the cool story of aziridine group transfer via aziridinyl radical from our group in this Synthesis Workshop episode. Thanks to @MatthewHorwitz1 for the invitation. Another feather in your cap, @promita2992. 🥳

Check out our recent study on Proteome-Wide Covalent Targeting of Acidic Residues with Tunable N-Aryl Aziridines in @J_A_C_S. Congratulations to Hao and the Adibekian Group for this excellent team-up. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Check out our recent article in Synpacts titled 'Transient N-Aziridinyl Radicals in Olefin Functionalization' highlighting aziridine radical transfer to olefins from @J_A_C_S. thieme-connect.com/products/ejour… @thiemechemistry @synlett_journal Congratulations @promita2992 🥂

Star students and future JACS authors from Texas A&M @TAMU @TAMUChemistry @Powers_Lab @Francois_Gabbai @MichaudelLab

Such an exciting news! Wish you all the best @anuvab_chem for your role as Assistant Professor at NTU Singapore.

@ACS_AMI @Uddalak95902 Redox tuning via conformational control is dependent on the LUMO energy and the reduction potential as well as between the HOMO−LUMO energy gap and the rate of electron transfer. Kudos to @figgins_matthew for establishing the correlation via DFT calculations.

Excited to share our recent collaborative contribution on redox flow batteries in @ACS_AMI on redox tuning of benzotriazole negolytes via conformational control. Congratulations to @Uddalak95902 and Gurkan group from Case Western Reserve University. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
