Our first foray into photoredox exploiting some unusual boron reactivity is now on ChemRxiv. Congratulations Jeremy! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Delighted to share the use of chemistry developed in the Watson Group to generate complex aryl BMIDAs!

Jeremy’s paper on photocatalytic cross-coupling of styrene boronic acids is published in Angewandte Chemie. Congrats Jeremy! Watson Group St Andrews School of Chemistry @EPSRCboron onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congrats to our senior member Jez, who is now a true master of both aspects of the photo-venn diagram…

Starting off the year with some exciting news! Thrilled to say my first ever cover art is on the cover of Chemical Reviews this month! Our review was submitted as part of a thematic issue about late stage functionalisation, go check it out if you haven't already :) The Larrosa Group

Had a wonderful time in Cardiff on Friday at the SCI – Where Science Meets Business💡 Postgraduate Symposium! Great to see the amazing work done by so many extremely talented PhD students! I was also honoured to receive a first-place prize for my presentation talking about the The Larrosa Group new catalyst!

A new element makes its way into the Watson Group repertoire! Check out our first foray into the world of germanium in the context of CuAAC chemistry, in collaboration with Burley Research Group! The pre-print is available here on ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

A pleasure to get the opportunity to present some of my PhD work on cobalt-catalysed Wagner-Meerwein rearrangements at the 10th EuChemS Chemistry Congress. Had such a great time attending talks, learning some new chemistry and having the occasional pint of Guiness! Dublin, you’ve been grand☺️

C-B, or not to C-B - that is the question… Check out our review on the utility of multiborylated alkanes in Nature Reviews Chemistry. Huge congratulations to Kane Bastick and Dr Dean Roberts for their fantastic efforts! @EPSRCboron St Andrews School of Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4157…
