Finally it’s official: Our manuscript on a new reagent for C-atom transfer is out Science Magazine! Diazo transfer from N2O gives access to Ph3PCN2 a versatile reagent. Big congratulations to the team! TU Dortmund European Research Council (ERC) Humboldt-Stiftung phosphorchem.gdch science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

T minus 12 days and counting, with Nozoe Lecturer Tim Swager as the lead-off batter at 1830 on Sunday, August 11th. See you in Toronto!

We have summarized the use of nitrous oxide (#laughinggas) as a diazo transfer reagent. The review, written together with Alex Genoux, was just published in Chemical Science : pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I had a fantastic time at the #ISNA20 conference in Toronto! The scientific talks and posters were so inspiring. Loved meeting the brilliant minds behind some of my favorite polyaromatic molecules!

Congratulations to Professor Tim Swager, the winner of the American Chemical Society's 2025 Arthur C. Cope Award. This award encourage the advancement of chemistry in all its branches, support research endeavors, and promote the careers of chemists. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Our paper titled "Inner-Bond-Cleavage Approach to Figure-Eight Macrocycles from Planar Aromatic Hydrocarbons" has been published in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! This paper is Open Access. Please read it. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We developed a novel reaction that enables a direct synthesis of amines from olefins via C=C bond cleavage. This process which we termed Triazenolysis represents an aza-version of ozonolysis reaction. Congrats to all involved Nature Chemistry Technion Israel nature.com/articles/s4155…

Amazing new helicenes—novel synthesis. Congratulations. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

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…

My first paper was finally published online in J Org Chem/Org Lett ! We synthesized a series of electroactive [5] and [7]helicenes. Chirality is retained during the synthesis of [7]helicene. Huge thanks to my mentor Abdusalom Suleymanov and Swager Group

📢: Magic Monday! Our great Ph.D. candidate ashton reports the synthesis of pentiptycene ether sulfone macromonomers en route to PIMs. The different robust conditions provide access to a variety of polymers. Tons of pentiptycenes for the lab to go! authors.elsevier.com/c/1k-Np7NHxUVlp

An ABSOLUTELY spectacular structure by the Xia group at SUSTECH. Haiping & his team have been working on enveloping the metal with a fully conjugated carbon ring & they finally succeeded! This warms my reformed metallabenzene chemist's heart! cen.acs.org/synthesis/Osmi… via C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)

Come see our superb chemists presenting in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Polymer Day now! Session A is currently running with maryam Alsufyani’s poster #2 and ashton’s poster #16! Session B will be happening in an hour with Abdusalom Suleymanov’s poster #28. More polymers, more fun for the day!!!

Molecular belts can go SUPERCOILED! We’ve nailed a 24-benzene and 24-thiophene fused molecular belt with a plectonemic geometry. Honored to contribute to this exciting work with Prof. Jiaobing Wang. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
