Congratulations Emily ! Such hard work and dedication, diving into new technology for the whole lab, spending hours building and repairing stuff as a 1st and 2nd year student. Spectacular achievement. Very much deserved !!! Go check out this unique phosphine oxide radical anion !

Turning trash into treasure 🗑️♻️🔋 Northwestern researchers transformed an organic industrial waste product into an efficient storage agent for sustainable energy solutions that can one day be applied at much larger scales. spr.ly/6019aJ3ut

Thank you C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) for highlighting our work. 🔋 Battery from triphenylphosphine oxide. Prachi Patel, C&EN cen.acs.org/energy/energy-…

With a clever tweak, the Malapit Lab turned chemical waste (#TPPO) into electrolyte material for grid batteries! 🔋 #SustainableEnergy #OrganicChemistry Learn more in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) ➡️ cen.acs.org/energy/energy-…

With simple molecular tweaking, researchers have converted a common chemical waste product, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), into an electrolyte material suitable for use in batteries connected to the power grid. cen.acs.org/energy/energy-… .

Finally, a radical–radical cross-coupling! After 180 years of generating C-radicals from carboxylic acids, we can now couple them with radicals from organoboron reagents. In our first ChemRxiv we introduce redox matched electrolysis to discover a “carboxylic acid–organoboron

I am excited to share that I will be starting my independent career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia (UVA) this Fall! UVA Chemistry Muy contenta de empezar un nuevo capitulo en mi carrera academica!

Congratulations to our very own, Prof. Eva Alvarez!!! We are all very proud of you. Can’t wait for the Alvarez Lab to come in fruition at UVA Chemistry ✨

We're excited to share our first Rowan Research Spotlight, highlighting Jake Evans and An Kitamura's work on organic electrochemistry in Christian Malapit's group (Malapit Lab) at Northwestern (Northwestern Chemistry). (link below!)

We’re very excited to share our latest work on electrochemical coupling of olefins and CO2 in Angewandte Chemie. Alternating polarity improves selectivity and tuned the mechanism unique to other electrochemical olefin functionalization reactions. Congratulations, Stella! ⚡️

Thrilled to share my work out now in Angewandte Chemie! We demonstrate the power of alternating polarity in electrochemical olefin hydrocarboxylation, highlighting its role in hindering electrode passivation and promoting an ECC mechanism. Check it out!
