Super-basic!

If you like highly substituted spirocyclopentanes check out our palladium-catalysed enantioselective (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction of azadienes. Lots of hard work by PhD student Pham. #ozchem now published in Chemical Science pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Really enjoyable study focused on photoredox catalysis combined with nucleophilic catalysis. Tricky design to demonstrate but interesting outcomes and a fun colab with Polyzos Lab and supported by Australian Research Council Congrats to Jing, Toni and Jose. Angewandte Chemie doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

An excellent collaboration with ⁦LuptonChem⁩ exploring the merger of organophosphine and photoredox catalysis - appreciated the opportunity to work with the team. Thanks DWL and congrats Jin, Antonia and Jose ⁦José Forni.⁩ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Dario Lasch, exchange MSc student from peterhuylab.de Universität Rostock, is not only here with us UNSW Chemical Society to discover new metathesis methods but also produce excellent home-made beers #ozchem #germanchemists #RealTimeChem

Proudly presenting a 14 months effort by @TuongToUNSW: A simple design allows us to carry out a triple cascade reaction to olefinate aromatic carbonyls. Almost a P-free Wittig reaction, applicable to a diverse substrate scope: doi.org/10.26434/chemr… #ozchem #ozcat ChemRxiv

It’s a great pleasure and honour to have the opportunity to present a keynote talk at ICOC2023 on work of my coworkers in the group. Lots of exciting chemistry and friendly passionate scientists. #ozchem #icoc2023 VN.

*** Organic & Biological Chemistry Seminar *** Wednesday 8th November | 12-1 PM | Cuming Theatre A/Prof. Vinh Nguyen Vinh Nguyen, UNSW See Flyer 👇 for more details! ALL WELCOME!

Inspiring talk this morning by Vinh Nguyen at School of Chemistry | University of Melbourne 🤩 🙌 #OzChem

😂

Amazingly simple series of novel organic dyes with varying number of H-bonding acceptor vs donor our PhD student Tuan Ho has freshly made to get more insight into the ESIPT phenomenon. A super-interesting project is in the baking #FluorescenceFriday #ozchem #ESIPT #AIE

Been a while since we have a [1 student + PI] paper from the group. Collaboration is always great but this simple module is also very satisfying #ozchem

It’s nice to get coverage from ChemistryViews #ozchem #ozcat

Very interesting reactivity, Nguyen Lab at UNSW Sydney ! 👏

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a luminous New Year from the Nguyen Lab at UNSW Sydney! This Christmas globe features the solid state fluorescence of benzil crystals when irradiated with long UV😊🎄🌈✨

Do you want to completely switch reaction outcomes just by changing the acidity of the reaction medium? We've got an excellent example of just that: Controlling Regioselectivity of Bromolactonization Reaction in HFIP - now published in Chemical Science pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our new approach to enantioconvergent reactions is available Nature Chemistry. We hope the community finds it interesting and we’re excited to see how others might be able to exploit this concept! nature.com/articles/s4155… #Stereochemistry #AsymmetricSynthesis #Enantioconvergent

Three Drs from the group graduated from UNSW Science UNSW Chemical Society yesterday. Congratulations to Drs Son Doan, Tuong To and Nhan Ton, who’re already onto their next academic adventures in Oz and Germany right after graduation. Employment yield 100% #ozchem #PhD #postdoc

Proudly present our novel molecular framework: more bent -> more blue-shifted with increased PLQY #ozchem Project led by Domenic Pace, in collaboration with Reece Crocker ⌬ and teams of Dr Wallace Wong, Binh Khanh Mai and Prof. Tim Schmidt, now on Adv Optical Mat: doi.org/10.1002/adom.2…
