Big thank you to Marcus Drover and Saurabh Chitnis for organizing this event! Really grateful I was able to present some of the work I’ve been doing over the past year! #gidw2020

Sometimes it’s good to be in the red: University of Manitoba researchers describe a synthetic methodology for accessing tuneable, narrow band phosphorescence from Pt(II) emitters in the deep red. Please see the Inorganic Chemistry article: doi.org/10.1021/acs.in…

Happy to see this out! Check out my recently published paper!

Super excited to finally see this out!

Donor–Acceptor Boron-Ketoiminate Complexes with Pendent N-Heterocyclic Arms: Switched-on Luminescence through N-Heterocycle Methylation (J Org Chem/Org Lett): pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102… (@Herbert_lab).

Welcome to our new issue of Inorganic Chemistry! pubs.acs.org/toc/inocaj/61/2 The cover this week is work from Williams, Herbert @herbert_lab et al on brightly luminescent platinum complexes. And wow, a fabulous trio of Featured Articles by Gunnoe/Groves, Mayer, and Zadrozny. ACS Publications

AGWIC: Congratulations to Issiah Lozada, supervised by David Herbert (UManitoba Science, @herbert_lab) at the University of Manitoba (University of Manitoba).

Check out our paper J. Am. Chem. Soc. where we showed oxidative photoredox chemistry from a d6-Co(III) based ligand-field excited state! These excited states have ~1.25 V oxidative potential in the ES-way higher than common Ru(II) or Ir(III) MSU Chemistry BioLEC EFRC pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Check out our paper Science Magazine where we leverage Marcus Inverted ligand-field ES relaxation dynamics of Cobalt(III) complexes, as a photocatalyst design principle. A wonderful collaboration with MacMillan Group Princeton Chemistry MSU Chemistry science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/4

Check out our latest! Huge congrats amyknodel !

Check out our latest work: Using the H2 released in dehydrogenative coupling for selective activation of C-F bonds - a new avenue for amending the fluorine content of fluorinated organics 🧪👩🏽‍🔬

Time-Resolved X-ray Emission Spectroscopy & Synthetic High-Spin Models Resolve Ambiguities in Excited-State Assignments of Transition-Metal Chromophores: A Case Study of Fe-Amido Complexes | JACS SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory @herbert_lab University of Manitoba #Fe #Amido #ExcitedState pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Check out our recently published work on the excited state assignment of our Fe-Amido complexes. Congratulations to the whole team for an awesome collaboration!

Check out our paper Nature Chemistry where we identified the 3T1 (yes! not 5T2) term state of the lowest energy excited state as one of the key factors for the Marcus inverted behavior in the ligand-field ES dynamics for d6 Cobalt(III) complexes. MSU Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

Extremely proud to share our first contribution to diversifying iron(II) chromophores. Thanks for the great work to all colleagues Universität Ulm, Universität Jena, Leibniz-IPHT, Catalina Urbina Thanks to J. Am. Chem. Soc. for the excellent editorial support pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Super excited to see lots of failed experiments turn into such a cool story! Huge thanks to Björn Pfund for helping shape such an awesome discussion of spin-state and reorganization energy effects in photoredox catalysis. Check it out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… 🥳🥳🥳
