We bid farewell to Benyu Benyu@chem who is on his way to Ithaca. Congratulations on a fantastic PhD and best wishes for your time in the @LancasterLabCU!
Just published in Chemical Communications by Benyu (Benyu@chem) and Shantabh (Shantabh Bedajna) - Pnictogen bonding at the service of gold catalysis! Congrats to both for completing this study. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
New from Francois Gabbai and co. at Chemistry Department: 'Pnictogen bonding at the service of gold catalysis: the case of a phosphinostiborane gold complex' bit.ly/41iWl4x bit.ly/41iWl4x
Eli's version of a five-coordinate carbon! Despite their weakness, the axial P=O->C+ interactions significantly tame the reactivity of the carbocation. Congrats Elishua Litle!
Looking forward to participating in this Webinar! Thanks David G. Churchill for putting this event together. kaist.zoom.us/j/82369038806?…… Meeting ID: 823 6903 8806 Passcode: 787154
Congratulations to Todd Hudnall and Baylor Chemistry on this new alliance, which will benefit all parties involved! Todd, this speaks to all that you have achieved up to that point in your career. Special congrats!
We haven't been twitting in a while. Time to catch up! We congratulate Logan Maltz and Elishua Litle , who defended their thesis a few weeks ago. Logan will soon take a position at Innospec and Eli is awaiting some good news soon... Congrats to both for beautiful PhDs.
Tweaking anion transport using the redox state of antimony compounds. Congrats to Brendan Brendan Murphy for carrying out this study from A to Z. "Tunable Pnictogen Bonding at the Service of Hydroxide Transport across Phospholipid Bilayers" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Gabbai group members Wei-Chun Liu and Elishua Litle win Chemistry Department departmental awards. Congrats to Wei-Chun for the Dow Chemical Graduate Scholar Award and Eli for the Marie and Jim H. Galloway ’29 Graduate Scholarship!
We have not been posting in a while... Time to catch up! A multigenerational effort leads to the characterization of "Rh → Sb Interactions Supported by Tris(8-quinolyl)antimony Ligands". Congrats to Casey, Brendan, and Shantabh. Organometallics pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Congrats to @Nate_hhunter who describes, in a solo effort, S/Se-stabilized "Bismuthenium Cations for the Transport of Chloride Anions via Pnictogen Bonding." Angewandte Chemie. The approach hinges on the water compatibility of these heavy group 15 cations. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
Congrats to Wei-Chun Liu whose most recent paper is out in Science Magazine. Wei-Chun characterizes a P=O→Carbenium Lewis adduct in its inner and outer isomeric forms. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… "Characterization of a Lewis adduct in its inner and outer forms"
Paula's (Paula Castro) first paper is out in Organometallics! Many of our favorite ingredients, including Au, Sb, and an NHC-carbene, combined in a construct where Au-Sb pnictogen bonding can be redox-adjusted for tunable electrophilic catalysis. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thanks Dima Dmitry Peryshkov for your warm hospitality and for the humbling opportunity of giving this lecture. I had a fantastic day visiting you, your students and colleagues. And this could be my last tweet here as I took to the blue skies of bsky...
