In 2003 when we starting thinking about Earth abundant metal catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation, the synthesis of sitagliptin was our goal. Congrats to Chirik Group's connor macneil and the Merck catalysis group for making that vision a reality.

Congrats Aaron Hongyu Zhong on this news and views article published in Nature Synthesis highlighting some elegant work from the The Lautens Group. nature.com/articles/s4416…

We are looking for PhD students - starting date open. See details below, retweet appreciated😀. Applications to: [email protected]


Latest from our collaboration with Merck and @HopmannKathrin (and Ljiljana) on the mechanism of Co(0)-catalyzed asymmetric alkene hydrogenation. Heroic experimental effort from Chirik Group's Lauren Mendelsohn. Thanks U.S. National Science Foundation for the support. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Latest from the #cobaltmafia Lauren Mendelsohn Tyler Pabst Gabriele Hierlmeier Paul Chirik Chirik Group light-driven reductive hydroformylation: synthesis of alcohols from alkenes... pretty cool way to turn 30! pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102… J. Am. Chem. Soc.




What happens when you try to do transfer hydrogenation on 3° alcohols? Find out in my #RSCPoster! We developed a rhodium-catalyzed transfer hydroarylation reaction. Shout out to Valentina Gasser and Morandi Lab for making this work possible. Full text: doi.org/10.1016/j.chem… #RSCCat


Coordinative unsaturation plays important role in catalyst design Morandi Lab D-CHAB ETH Zurich report a highly unsaturated rhodium complex with a single NHC ligand that reversibly activates H2 under mild conditions #Dunitz_Issue #OpenAccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hl…


We are currently (rolling process) looking for postdocs to start in late 2023 or later – please retweet. Interested? Send your application ASAP to [email protected] – “postdoc 2023” in subject line

Out now in Angewandte Chemie , we show that terthiophenes can be robust e– storage media at ⚡️ extreme potentials ⚡️ if simply functionalized with phosphine oxides. Couldn't be prouder of the team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…



Congrats to PatrickM, Patrick Finkelstein for a new general route to well-defined Ni(I) species using Ni(I)-phenolate complexes! Fantastic collaboration with Nils Trapp, Gunnar Jeschke and Bismuto Lab. Inorganic Chemistry. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…



🎉 I am happy to share that in January, I'll open my new research group🧪⚗️at Technion Schulich Faculty of Chemistry, Technion Technion Israel Gratitude to my mentors Morandi Lab Shabat Group and my friends for their support🙏 We're looking for students and postdocs to join the lab origreenlab.com


Together with colleagues Yu Zhao & Hongyu Zhong, we'll be hosting a symposium as part of SICC-12. sicc12.org Exciting lineup of speakers from around the world including keynote talks from Professors Galan, Morandi & Ritter. M. Carmen Galan Morandi Lab Ritter Lab
