First paper on twisted amide polymerization from the Gutekunst Group now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Congrats Mizhi and Liangbing! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Also thanks to Luis M. Campos for getting us back on Twitter

Happy 33rd Birthday to the Gutekunst Group bossman himself, Will Gutekunst! #birthday #yearofthearsenic

Nice use of norbornadiene in polymer functionalization from the Craig J. Hawker, FRS group, and definitely a good application of protected Diels-Alder chemistry to make complex systems!

The Yan Xia has developed another creative application of cyclopropenes in metathesis polymerization! Congrats to all of them, including Ben Elling!

(1/3) It’s been a summer of metathesis for the Gutekunst Group. Congrats to Tianqi on her Polymer Chemistry paper showing how to use enynes in Pulsed-Addition ROMP to reduce ruthenium loadings! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

(2/3) Mizhi, Krista, and Aja break down the origins of strain in twisted amides Chemical Science. For ROMP, all you need is resonance! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

(3/3) And just accepted into Angewandte Chemie - Liangbing, Sui, and Alex use enynes to make degradable metathesis polymers. Congrats to the entire team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

More awesome ladderane synthesis paired with mechanochemical unzipping from the @BurnsChemistry lab and Yan Xia! Have to like their use of selective ROMP as well...

From our lab, families, and friends to you, Happy Holidays from the Gutekunst Group!

Our first paper of 2020 is online! Eliot & Alexandra photopolymerized electron-deficient Grignards without a transition-metal catalyst. We used the wavelength selectivity to make an all-conjugated n-type diblock. First at ChemRxiv, read it in Angewandte Chemie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Everyone at every University right now...

Happy 34th birthday to our fearless leader, who remains at home even on his special day! #HAPPYBIRTHDAY #StayAtHome #WashYourHands

Congrats to our 3 newest Ph.D. Candidates in the Gutekunst Lab: Dongqi Yi, Sterling Sweningson, and Xuelin Sui! #Excited

I pledge to oppose racism and hate through active allyship, continuous unlearning, learning, and listening. Join me by nominating 5 others to do the same. #BlackLivesMatter  I nominate Brett Fors Michaudel Lab Powers Lab Maxwell Robb Gutekunst Group

Congrats!

Many thanks to Will Gutekunst Gutekunst Group for writing this beautiful Previous for our recent recyclable polythioester work in the latest issue of Chem : Mixing Physical Organic Chemistry with Monomer Design Gives New Recyclable Materials cell.com/chem/fulltext/…

Our review about oligomer materials was just published Journal of Polymer Science! A great collaboration with the Meijer group, Craig J. Hawker, FRS and Gutekunst Group!
