Congrats to Roberta for making these compounds and for getting this nice study published!

Gyeongjin (Jane) Park wins the Manuel P. Soriaga Graduate Fellowship! A testament to her hard work and beautiful papers she has published Chemistry Department. And there is more to come... Congrats Jane!

Congrats to Vanessa Gonzalez (Vanessa Gonzalez) for choosing to join the grad program College of Chemistry. She will be missed in the GabbaiGroup. At the same time, we wish her much success in grad school!

Congratulations to our undergraduate researcher Cynthia Nguyen CindyLy for getting admitted UT Pharmacy. She was recognized this evening at our Chemistry Department pre-graduation ceremony! Good luck Cynthia - The GabbaiGroup will miss you!

CONGRATS to Vanessa Gonzalez Vanessa Gonzalez, recognized tonight at the Chemistry Department award ceremony with: -The Senior Award in Organic Chemistry -The Bergbreiter-Carter Excellence in Chemistry Award (our top award) Two richly deserved accolades that speak to her successes at Texas A&M University!

Francois Gabbai provides an interesting summary of his team's recent J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper and Spotlight urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pu… on bis-telluronium dication electrophilic catalysis via metal-chloride bond activation ✌ Karen L Wooley Chemistry Department

Thanks Ken Lo for highlighting our Organometallics paper. The telluronium saga continues! But we are no longer alone. See the beautiful paper by Weiss, Aubert, Pale and Mamane onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Congrats to Gyeongjin Park (also known as Jane!) for making the Au(I)···H–O hydrogen bond a less elusive one! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thank you The Welch Foundation for highlighting our work and for making it possible!

Looking forward to the conference!

Welcome back @DrTodd_Hudnal!

Congrats to Jiliang and Eli for the synthesis of a large-bite P/π+ ambiphilic ligand that supports gold-bound anion-π+ interactions. Also reported is the isolation and reactivity of a gold(I) [HOBF3]- complex - now in ChemComm! GabbaiGroup Chemistry Department pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congrats to Vanessa Vanessa Gonzalez, Jane Gyeongjin Park , and Moncy for their recent paper: Transporting fluoride anions with a stibonium cation stabilized by a P=O → Sb pnictogen bond pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Santa's gift arrived early! The GabbaiGroup welcomes three new graduate students, Brendan Murphy Brendan Murphy , Paula Castro Paula Castro, and You Jiang. Looking forward to their achievements!

Congrats to Jesse Smith and Haifeng Yang for this paper on the carbophilic reactivity of a new, P=O stabilized Pt/Sb complex. Thanks to Organometallics for featuring us on the cover and glad to see an opening article by Michael Findlater about Alan Cowley! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to Gyeongjin Park (Jane) for a terrific PhD defense. Anion transport with main group Lewis acids and carbene-carbenium gold complexes were on the menu! Well done Jane!

Congratulations to Javad karimi "Javad" who defended his PhD thesis today. His work elegantly merged main group chemistry with energy-relevant processes such as oxygen reduction and halide oxidation chemistry. Congrats!

It was a honor and a pleasure to be part of this program. Happy Birthday Holger!

Congrats to Elishua Litle, the first author of this study on the coordination of zero-valent group 10 metals to an ambiphilic ligand we call EliPhos!
