Nice method. Complimentary regioselectivity to classical rhodium and ruthenium catalyzed C-H activation reactions. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our new paper is out now in Angewandte Chemie! We revealed that manipulating the geometry of the directing group enables site-selective C(sp3)-H functionalization and controls the order of C(sp3)-H vs. C(sp2)-H functionalization. Congrats to Yuki and Shunsuke! doi.org/10.1002/ange.2…

ChatGPT o1 is now actually solving PhD-level chemistry problems! For example, it proposes the correct mechanism for the exchange of oxygen atoms in [Ru(CO)6]+ in 18O-labeled water. The only thing that holds it back is the limited ability to work with structural formulas.

When reading a scientific paper in chemistry (or related fields), how often do you look only at the schemes (without reading the main text)?

Fluorine substitution for hydrogen increases the stability of organic azides. Our new article in Chem. Commun. and front cover. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Super excited to share this *radically* cool work from Deepta, En-Chih, Jeff, and Arunava on a general deaminative cross-coupling method guided by a unique ‘radical sorting’ mechanism. Congrats Team Deamination! Pre-print available now on ChemRxiv tinyurl.com/bdekw7ds

My first chemistry professor in Vienna, Erich Zbiral, shall not be forgotten. Everybody loves the Tanabe-Eschenmoser Fragmentation but the analogous Zbiral Fragmentation of epoxy vinyl azides is equally cool.

Recently we have noticed the literature trend and confirmed it together with Prof. Liao's research group through the discovery of one of the most active catalysts for polymerisation of caprolactone doi.org/10.1016/j.eurp…

I really happy to share our lastest publication in J. Am. Chem. Soc. "Generation of Stereocenters via Single-Carbon-Atom Doping Using N-Isocyanides" Huge congrats to everyone involved! And excited to see my first paper as a corresponding author! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Nice paper pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our new paper on simple synthesis of planar-chiral ruthenium catalysts. We still need to optimize aryl substituent for good enantioselectivity. Thanks to editor and referees of Dalton Transactions for thoughtful and fast reviewing process (only 12 days!). pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Merging azacoronene with helicenes has led to intriguing electroactive chiral structures and polymers. Our latest paper with Yucheng Fu Yucheng Fu and Swager Group just published in J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
