For years, the origin of homochirality (why life uses D-sugars & L-amino acids) has baffled scientists. Our new paper in 长欣 赵 reveals how achiral molecules can form the chiral polymers that likely seeded life! A game-changer for abiogenesis research! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

🔬 After halogen bond-mediated uptake, we're back with something heavier👇 📢 In Angewandte Chemie : We report the demonstration of cellular uptake mediated by chalcogen bonding! 🧪 A leap forward in non-covalent delivery strategies. 📰 Read the full study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

🌪️🔥🌊🌍 Mastering all four? We did it with alkenes! Our nature paper with Robert Paton lab reveals a modular boron-mediated strategy solving the long-standing challenge of accessing tetrasubstituted alkenes with full stereo-control. Congrats team! nature.com/articles/s4158…

In our latest preprint, we introduce rhodamines as new scaffolds for molecular electronics. We harness rhodamine's lactone-zwitterion bistability to access on/off conductance ratios that are among the highest reported for chemically-induced switches. tinyurl.com/7r4wbpeb

Excited to share our new strategy to access carbenes - of all electronic types! Congrats to Khue, Xueling, Bethany, Mohamed, Jake, Young, & Ilias on their beautiful work in Science Magazine! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

First challenge from the legend Lerner when I arrived at Scripps in 2007 summer was CH fluorination with 18F. Finally, we have realized the first example and added enantioselectivity on top, Nature Catal: rdcu.be/ev6YA. Again, bifunctional Liand is the key!
