Dabbling in computations while working from home? Check out this tool! Local strain has major implications for reactivity, and now there's a way to quantify it. Congrats to Curtis E. Colwell and Tavis, whose work just appeared in Chemical Science! Read here: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Check out this #justaccepted paper in which Tobi and coauthors take on the challenge of understanding the transition from porous molecules to functional porous materials. Nice work! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102… Terri Lovell brozeklab J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Check out my Chemistry World article about the cool computational work of Curtis E. Colwell from the The Jasti Laboratory group! #compchem

My recent Chemical Science paper got highlighted in Chemistry World this morning. Bianca Provost did an excellent job communicating the results!

Synthesis of a Zigzag Carbon Nanobelt by Kenichiro Itami & co-workers doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

First ever synthesis of a cyclacene by the Itami Lab. Stabilized by highly aromatic pyrene segments. chemrxiv.org/articles/Synth…

Defending my thesis next week. The end of one era and on to the next. Thanks Claire for the poster! The Jasti Laboratory

Great paper by awesome graduate student Terri Lovell. Here she describes the nuanced photophysics of red-shifted nanohoop fluorophores. This will be The Jasti Laboratory last submission to Angewandte Chemie for the time being. We hope to see some positive changes soon! bit.ly/3fbxmaj

New computational work predicting near-IR emitting The Jasti Laboratory posted to ChemRxiv By Terri Lovell, Kaylin Fosnacht, Curtis E. Colwell. Kaylin did this for her COVID spring rotation project and now in Pluth Group Let us know what you think bit.ly/2Wx2pq1 #FluorescenceFriday

StrainViz allowed us to see how strain is developed and dispersed along the aromatic core! Thanks Curtis E. Colwell Ramesh Jasti The Jasti Laboratory for making this tool available! 👉pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Glad to see that StrainViz can provide useful analysis along with nice abstract art!

Check our article just accepted in Chemical Science, originally posted on ChemRxiv, lead by Terri Lovell, Kaylin Fosnacht, and Curtis E. Colwell. We propose some new structures that should push nanohoop emission into the near IR rsc.li/2FSaPmZ

Latest computational paper out from the Jasti group with excellent direction given for red shifting CPP emission. It is appropriate that the abstract image is super woman because two super women authored this paper #nanohoops #RealTimeChem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

No way I would be where I am today without @CarolynBertozzi I will never be able to thank her enough for her advice over the years. I only wish we got to hang out more like in this picture from a few years back!

Paraza Pharma is looking for MSc and PhD chemists with organic chemistry experience. Working at Paraza is a rare opportunity to do research in industry in Canada. If you are interested or know someone who fits the bill, reach out! linkedin.com/posts/paraza-p…

I was pleased to take part in the SynFacts initiative at Paraza Pharma commenting on an excellent paper from the Weix Group. Ni-catalyzed cross electrophile coupling can be a pain and this paper (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…) does a great job addressing it! thieme-connect.de/products/ejour…

While I was on paternity leave, my Synfacts contribution highlighting a very nice Molander Group paper was selected as Synfact of the Month in the #Heterocycles category. You can read it here free of charge: thieme-connect.com/products/ejour… Chemistry at Thieme

🎉 Thrilled to share that I've accepted a position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa! I am so grateful for this opportunity to contribute to academia and further pursue my fascination with fluorophores. Huge thanks to everyone who supported me on this journey!
