It's spooky season at Powers Lab! But don't let our research scare you, come and have fun with us tomorrow at the Chemistry Openhouse!!

Polyynes with an “ungerade” triple bond count (upto 9) are now available, evading the intrinsic bias of Hay-Glaser homocoupling protocols that assemble even number of triple bonds only! EurJIC Chemistry Department Texas A&M Arts & Sciences XRD Facility doi.org/10.1002/ejic.2…

We are excited to share our new discovery on 'Aziridine Group Transfer via Transient N-Aziridinyl Radicals' in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Check it out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Huge shout out to Promita Biswas, Asim Maity and Matthew Figgins 🎉

Fun times at #2024ACSGRS!

Happy to share the latest pre-print from the lab "Proteome-wide Covalent Targeting of Acidic Residues with Tunable N-Aryl Aziridines". Thanks to @AdibekianG and OG_labs for the stimulating and fun collaboration! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Our latest work on P-P coupling with and without M-P intermediates is now live on J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! Great work by Rick (Richard Thompson ), Matt (Matthew Figgins), Duleeka (Duleeka Wannipurage) and our amazing collaborators at the Gutierrez Group (OG_labs). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excited to share our recent collaborative contribution on redox flow batteries in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces on redox tuning of benzotriazole negolytes via conformational control. Congratulations to Uddalak Sengupta and Gurkan group from Case Western Reserve University. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Such an exciting news! Wish you all the best Anuvab Das for your role as Assistant Professor at NTU Singapore.

Everything's bigger in Texas—even a chain of sp carbons! The solid-state structure of an ultra-long polyyne with C28 linkages is now unveiled. We hit a dead end with the longer ones, but hey, they look like a "crystal clear" challenge worth tackling!

Check out our recent article in Synpacts titled 'Transient N-Aziridinyl Radicals in Olefin Functionalization' highlighting aziridine radical transfer to olefins from J. Am. Chem. Soc.. thieme-connect.com/products/ejour… Chemistry at Thieme SYNLETT Journal Congratulations Promita Biswas 🥂

Tune in this week to hear from Dr. Promita Biswas about aziridine group transfer reactions! Thanks to Dr. Sourav Mondal for hosting and editing! Link: youtu.be/pfmyIT4Hnik J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, 146, 30796-30801. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

Check out our recent study on Proteome-Wide Covalent Targeting of Acidic Residues with Tunable N-Aryl Aziridines in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Congratulations to Hao and the Adibekian Group for this excellent team-up. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Check out the cool story of aziridine group transfer via aziridinyl radical from our group in this Synthesis Workshop episode. Thanks to Synthesis Workshop for the invitation. Another feather in your cap, Promita Biswas. 🥳

Thrilled to see such a familiar face. Congrats Dave! 🎉

It was a great pleasure to attend the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting in Germany. Thanks to Dr. Powers, Dr. Gabbaï and Texas A&M University for this amazing opportunity. Forever grateful. Chemistry Department Powers Lab

Our latest work in Chemical Science investigates porous salt thin film growth mechanisms, and effects of thickness on metalation of the films. Congratulations to everyone involved in this paper from our lab, as well as our wonderful collaborators! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Celebrating our 100th publication around our group's 10-year anniversary with our latest review on 'Synthesis and Application of Bioactive N‐Functionalized Aziridines' in Angewandte Chemie. Check it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Here is our review article on aziridines with modern synthetic strategies and applications in Angewandte Chemie. Happy reading! 😀

Excited to share our recent pre-print about PCO-group transfer by pincer-supported Ni-PCO complexe to provide P-Analogues of B-Lactams. Check it out here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Congratulations to Arpan, Ph.D. #13 from our lab. Arpan has been a beacon of tenacity, and we are very proud of all his accomplishments. Wishing him the best in all his future endeavours!
