>3 years in the making, we are excited to debut Juntao Sun's discovery of copper(II) as a potent π-Lewis acid catalyst for redox-neutral, regiodivergent OH and NH additions to unactivated alkynes. Great teaming up w/ Peng Liu Group. ChemRxiv tinyurl.com/yc22et5d

We are thrilled to share that our recent article on Excited-State Palladium-Catalyzed Radical Allylic Alkylation: Rapid Access to C2-Allyl Carbohydrates is out in ACS Catalysis! Congratulations to Wang, Jackie, Hang and our collaborators Peng Liu Group! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Catalytic Enantioselective Smiles Rearrangement Enabled by the Directed Evolution of P450 Radical Aryl Migratases by Wenzhen Fu, Katherina Murcek, Jasper Chen, An Liu, Yunlong Zhao, Peng Liu (Peng Liu Group), and Yang Yang (Yang Yang) in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

🚀Registration is now open for this summer's MERCURY Conference (July 23-25) & MolSSI Workshop (July 21-22), with the latter focusing on Python-based data analysis of QM-calculated spectroscopic data. Register by May 16. Don't miss out! 🎯 #compchem chem.pitt.edu/mercury-confer…

Peng Liu and collaborators investigate a mechanism for cross-coupling aryl halides using formate as a mediator. This method offers opportunities for efficient syntheses using green reductants under mild conditions. Read more in Nature Chemistry: zurl.co/0wVbz

Excited to share our latest publication in J. Am. Chem. Soc. We used MD simulations to predict enantioselectivity of dirhodium tetracarboxylate-catalyzed cyclopropanation and the unique HFIP solvent effects. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Congrats to Turki Alturaifi Binh Khanh Mai Mithun

Peng Liu’s group collaborated with researchers from Emory to investigate how HFIP influences the enantioselectivity of cyclopropanation reactions catalyzed by chiral dirhodium tetracarboxylates. Read more in the Journal of the American Chemical Society: zurl.co/o0JBu

Thank you Rowan for highlighting Turki's work and how Rowan benefited our research Pitt Chemistry

Congratulations to Christian Knox for being selected for the DOE SCGSR program! Hope you have a successful visit to the Brookhaven National Lab!

Researchers have combined artificial intelligence (AI) and their own chemical know-how to create protein catalysts that can perform chemical reactions not found in nature: cen.acs.org/synthesis/bioc…

Christian Knox, a graduate student in the Peng Liu group, has been selected by the DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research Program to conduct on-site research at the Brookhaven national laboratory. Read more about the work he will be doing here: zurl.co/t6M2f

This month in Science, Peng Liu’s group and collaborators at UCSF and UCSB designed proteins with histidine-ligated porphyrin and heme ligands which have the potential to become ecofriendly catalysts. Read more: zurl.co/DPkXC

Peng Liu’s group worked with researchers from UW Madison to investigate silver catalysts and their non-covalent interactions in asymmetric C‒H amidation reactions. Read more in Chem Catalysis: zurl.co/cQGo8

atropisomers? positional isomers? both? We present beautiful and curious class of molecules today in ChemRxiv. 🧐🪞 tinyurl.com/yxyb5rup Amit Kumar Simlandy Turki Alturaifi Peng Liu Group

We are thrilled to share our work demonstrating that electronically diverse and medicinally relevant heteroaryl groups can be used as handles for systematically tuning thiol reactivity of covalent reactive groups. @pitt_Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
