The Meyer group is now on Twitter! Follow us “Jer-Bears” as we try to be hip and cool while sharing amazing science and even cooler memes about our favorite molecule, Ru(bpy)3.

Just another average day in the Meyer lab!

We may be a month late, but it’s never too late to highlight this amazing work by our spectacular fourth year Zander Deetz exploring Ir-halide ion-pairing interactions, and how the stabilization observed may make us reconsider our assumptions for non-covalent interactions!

Yeah, sometimes us Ru(bpy)3 hippies do cool science, but other times, we decide to branch out into other ventures. First brews of brewbpy were tested and loved by a focus group of beer aficionados (sometimes called graduate students)!

The Meyer Lab showing off some excellence in science here, along with with Chirik Group SchelterGroup 😎 #GRCEDAI #GRC

CHASE takes on Newport! Researchers from 4 of our institutions are enjoying the Electron Donor-Acceptor Interactions Gordon Research Conferences this week, hearing fantastic research presentations and posters about electrochemistry, photochemistry, and much more. #EDAIGRC2022

It’s the biannual #EDAIGRC Meyer Family Chemistree picture. Between Jerry’s first ever grad student, our spectacular #GRC chair Phil Castellano, all of the students that were here in the 31 years since, and those to come, it is such a pleasure to be in the Ru(bpy)3 hippy family.

So proud to see the one and only Matthew Goodwin here! 🥳

ACS Chicago, so very proud

An awesome collab with Meyer Group alum now on the faculty at Fudan University, Prof Ke Hu. Congrats to Pengju, Zander Deetz and Jiaming on this neat work on chloride oxidation and subsequent C–H activation enabled by an inexpensive and commercially available organic photocatalyst

Sorry we’ve been quite for so long, we Ru(bpy)3 lovers forgot the password. Anyhow, ProfAMo is the definition of what students in our group aspire to be. Both as scientists, and as people.

So glad to see the original Ru(bpy)3 hippy on the road to recovery! 🥰

Great start to ISPPCC 2023! Gerald Meyer from Meyer Group really getting into the spirit of the host nation 🇩🇪
