You seldom see deprotonation of terminal polyynes as opposed to that of an alkyne counterpart. Here we go! Please check out my latest contribution Organometallics . The lithiation poses numerous mechanistic puzzles, yet we could successfully (1/2)pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thrilled to share our recent work published in PNAS. Here, we directly probed a transient carbon-centered radical intermediate (•QOOH) relevant to combustion and atmospheric chemistry. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A big day for 'carbyne'- the elusive sp carbon allotrope. It literally took decades of synthetic expertise from chemists around the globe to make functional equivalent of that enthralling 'all carbon' gem! (1/4)

Anyone here fond of Pt(IV) or gyroscopes? We did string them together in as many as four new complexes characterized by classical spectroscopies and X-ray structures. Curious about the addition of more number of ligands did not impede their rotation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
