We will be hosting a memorial symposium for my former PI, Prof. Ian Manners (Ian Manners Research Group) at UniversityOfVictoria on August 23rd. You can register for free for this hybrid event at the following link: forms.office.com/r/6wDLk709Kn (Deadline 9th August). Please share! Thanks😊 #CDSA #MainGroup

We teach oxidative addition of ArX at Pd(0) as a 3-centered TS, but it's more complicated. Understanding the mechanistic nuances has implications for site-selective cross-coupling. Congrats Matt and Albert on your epic investigation now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Issue 19 is online, with interesting articles by Ian C. Chagunda, PhD, M. Buchmeiser, D. G Fukina, among others. Click here and have a look: 👉 …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/10990682c/… #OnTheCover the work by J. Otsuki.

Congratulations Hayley!!! Such a great defence. 🎉🎊🥂

Now online in IJMS at doi.org/10.1016/j.ijms…, congrats to the team

🔥Hot🔥 new paper just dropped in ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal! Sick of dehydrocoupling your phosphine-boranes at elevated temperatures? Too impatient to make CAACs or NHCs? Just add aminoborane! That’s right, aminoboranes dehydrocouple PB adducts with ease! Find out more: …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

New year, new cover, but a throwback to a 2024 paper by the UVic Science group of Jeremy Wulff. 📰cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11… Rendering of a complex polycycle with exceptionally hindered alkenes, produced through an unexpected ring-opening of a functionalized Thiele cage.

Great start to the new year! Our work is now published at Organometallics. 🔗doi.org/n2pj

Full version available now in Organometallics --> doi.org/10.1021/acs.or… --> Let us know if you try our palladate salt and hopefully this can help with challenging cross-coupling reactions!

Our work investigating Pd-precatalyst activation mechanisms is featured as a front cover in ACS Publications Organometallics. It was a fantastic experience designing and exploring his work in a creative way! ➡️pubs.acs.org/toc/orgnd7/44/5 #MyACSCover @McIndoe Dave Leitch and the Leitch Lab

Excited to begin my NSERC / CRSNG Postdoctoral Fellowship at Ruhr University Bochum with Prof. Viktoria Gessner (The Gessner Group)! I'll be exploring structure–activity relationships of YPhos ligands for application in challenging catalytic transformations. Thrilled to join such a fantastic team!🧪
