Today, Seokjoo leaded our weekly literature discussion and talked about ion-pair directed selective borylation. Nice job Seokjoo.

Yesterday, Rashmi held a discussion on a recent paper on Science, Space & Robots about directed C-H hydroxylation with O2 using palladium catalyst. Good job Rashmi! Link to the paper: science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

Tonight Zhilin led our literature discussion with a nature paper about deacylation-aided C-H alkylative annulation via C-C bond cleavage of ketones. Great job Zhilin Hou

Today, Hannah led our discussion talking about a paper from Angew. Chemie. Int. Ed.. Di(indenyl)beryllium complex was synthesized using mechanochemical preparation. Very cool paper. Good job Hannah! Paper link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Group activity of August: Group Lunch at Sree Saffron. 😋😋 Summer has gone so faaaaast 🧑‍🔬

Group lunch with Warren group! Warren Lab We had so much fun! ☺️ So glad to get to know you guys and welcome to MSU Chemistry!! 🥳 MSU Chemistry

Group outing of November! The end of 2021 is down the road. Everyone stay safe!

During the MSU chem grad recruiting weekend MSU Chemistry, our group members had the pleasure of sharing the research conducted by the Odom group with prospective graduate students. It was an enjoyable experience interacting with the students and discussing our work with them.

We are excited to present the first thermally stable, neutral yttrium(II) complex. The highly reactive Y(II) center was stabilized through two amide ligands, and reacts with isonitriles to isocyanides. Published in Chemical Science. Odom Group Demir Group pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We are thrilled to share that our recent article has been featured on the inside cover of Chemical Science, highlighting its significance and contribution to the field. This great honor reinforces our commitment to advancing scientific knowledge through cutting-edge research

Congratulations Rashmi!

Had an absolutely extraordinary time at the Organometallics GRS and GRC events last week! Met exceptional individuals from around the globe, learning about their fascinating research. Huge thanks to the GRS and GRC chairs for organizing this memorable event. #ResearchCommunity

Check out our latest publication on ACS Catalysis! Congratulations to all the authors who contributed to this research. Awesome work!👏 Modeling Complex Ligands for High Oxidation State Catalysis: Titanium Hydroamination with Unsymmetrical Ligands pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Spartans made a splash at this year's Michigan Inorganic Chemistry Symposium!⚗️ In addition to a great turnout, our graduate students earned awards for their terrific posters and presentations — congratulations all!

This is a new venture with an artist friend, Matt Bohan. We're hoping to make videos on a variety of science topics at various levels. How many we get to make depends on support, so please visit! If the video was entertaining/useful please like and subscribe. Thanks!

Very excited to present two new dysprosium(III) complexes containing amide ligands 😊😎. Both are single-molecule magnets where one shows remarkable open magnetic hysteresis loops up to 19 K 🥳🤩. Published in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… MSU Chemistry Demir Group Odom Group

Excited to present our new collaboration with Ames National Laboratory. Check out “Ultra-Confined Environments May Restrict the Possible Configurations of Supported Metal Complexes” published in IC. ACS Publications Odom Group MSU Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…
