Any talented organic chemist out there interested in a postdoc in the area of photochromic compounds @ Yale/NUS? If so contact my friend Stan (Email: [email protected]).

What a fruitful Merlion France in Singapore trip with talks and great discussions at Ecole Polytechnique, Sorbonne, Paris-Saclay and Paris-Sud. Cheers to A. Auffrant, C. Ollivier, B. Nguyen for chairing, and many thanks to Christophe @CBourUPSUD for being such a great host.

What a great honor to use the office of the great Henri Kagan during my stay at Orsay, where I could admire his "asymmetric" inverted clock 😀

Our recent work on expanded-ring NHCs has just appeared in Organometallics. ☺️

Congratulations to our Ph.D. student Leung Jia Nuo for winning the "Chemistry - A European Journal" best poster award at the NRCSCC. Well done!😀 event.ntu.edu.sg/IAS-NRCSCC/pos…

The Huynh Group is looking for a skilled, creative and passionate organometallic chemist to join our dynamic team in the development of organometallic ALD and CVD precursors. Apply to [email protected]. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

Congratulations to Chandan and Anuj for a job well done. Unfortunately, Chandan's last month of contract was during the circuit breaker, and university was under lockdown. Luckily, he managed to return home now. Take care & good luck for your future endeavours.

In light of recent global events, including for organic chemists a recently retracted editorial concerning our field, a commitment from J Org Chem/Org Lett and Organometallics …

Happy to see this work conducted by Jeroen Vossen during his 3-month internship in our group published. Congrats Jeroen for a job well done.

The 2nd OM paper for Sara and Nicholas. Great yield for their undergraduate final year projects.

We have openings for two postdoctoral fellows. One position is for an expert in synthetic Organometallic Chemistry. The 2nd position is in the area of Surface Science for someone with proven expertise in selective etching. Send your application to [email protected].

Proud to see my former student Dr. Qiaoqiao Teng successfully taking the lead in this project. Well done! ,👏👏👏

Check out Zhi Hao's new work in ChemComm. The outcome of a collaboration with Huynh Group and Tobias Kraemer. Gauging the donor strength of iron(0) complexes via their N-heterocyclic carbene gold(i) adducts - now published in Chemical Communications pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… NUS Chemistry

Pushing NacAc’s tolerance to the limit: Subtle changes in N-alkyl pendants trigger an intriguing ring contraction event between six- and four-membered palladacycles. Please see the work from Huynh Group and Huan Do for details: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

"A donor both neutral and charged, named after the god for the future and past." One student Jia Nuo Leung to do it all.

Great collaboration. Congrats to Jia Nuo and Yutaka. Great job with the TOC as well Jia Nuo Leung.

I HAVE QUESTIONS: 1) Should Chat-GPT not be a co-author on this paper????? 2) AND – more disturbing - Are there reviewers out there that don’t read the paper????? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

AND HERE ANOTHER ONE - AGAIN ELSEVIER.... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Looking at the pictures...so happy I am a chemist. And so happy the AI-program can't access "patient-specific data" !!! Elsevier

Now in Inorganic Chemistry: En route to quantifying donor ability of bidentate ligands by HEP2, geometric isomerism in NacAc-stabilized Pd-complexes was encountered, influenced by the o- and p-substituents on the N-aryls: go.acs.org/biy Huynh Group Huan Do
