Throwing a foot from afar in bc I wasn’t at ACS but I’m also loving my Paton Lab merch featuring code snippets and python packages I’ve developed in the lab

Glad to see our recent JACS paper made the most read open access list of the month. Robert Paton AggarwalLab

Check out our latest work J. Am. Chem. Soc. leveraging electrophotocatalysis to access ketyl radicals! We found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a uniquely competent class of catalysts, which enabled our group's first non-fragmentation based reduction strategy bit.ly/48j9E8v

In Nature Synthesis today we describe a super-mild and functional group tolerant method to make arynes from triaryloxonium salts: go.nature.com/3RZPTNx Outstanding work from Owen, Maddie, Viorel and Sreenithya Robert Paton SBM CDT @oxfordchemistry CSU Department of Chemistry

Awesome way to make arynes under super-mild conditions!

Our paper on the modification of polypeptides at selenocysteine using electrochemistry is out now in Angewandte Chemie. Congratulations to Angus who drove the project and thanks to our collaborators Robert Paton Malins Lab! CIPPS Sydney Chemistry onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Thanks to joanna wencel-delord for a great writeup of our recent Nature Synthesis paper on aryne generation from oxonium ions Robert Paton SBM CDT Oxford Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4416…

The group's latest preprint! Mihai Popescu describes a new computational method for determining the triplet energy of organic molecules inspired by the "hot band" model of energy transfer. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Indeed! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Now online Chem - congrats all

Our paper on functional group compatible hydrogen borrowing with Donohoe Group is now out in Nature Communications. Great stuff from Elliot Bailey ! nature.com/articles/s4146… Oxford Chemistry SBM CDT

Alana, Mihai, and Arindam reported a comprehensive synthetic, spectroscopic, and computational study on a general approach to alkene aziridination, now out in ACS Catalysis! 🔺 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Exited to share our latest collaboration with the Aggarwal group on platinum catalyzed diborylation of alkenes.

We are working hard to make ORCA (FACCTs & MPI Kofo) even better and more accessible. It's great that it is recognized by the community as “one of the most complete toolkits” (The Alegre Group) in Quantum Chemistry. #ORCAqc #ORCA6 #TrendsInChemistry doi.org/10.1016/j.trec…

Glad to see our DvTE method used for such awesome chemistry!

Exited to share that our newest collaboration with the Aggarwal group is now out in Nature! If you’re interested in making tetrasubstituted alkenes with high diastereoselectivity, this could be an interesting read: nature.com/articles/s4158…
