Excited for this collaborative paper on nanoscale photoreactors to finally be out in Chemical Science! Check it out! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Delighted to contribute some thoughts to this wonderful article in Chemistry World on putting fluorine in drug molecules along with Timothy Noël, Gouverneur Group, David O'Hagan, and Rob Young! Check it out! chemistryworld.com/features/putti…

Congrats Austin Moser, Paige Sutter, Alex Chavez, and Sebastian Cruz on publishing this cool study on alkene hydroalkylation using TBADT/thiol catalysis! A brand new project area started and led by Austin! #realtimechem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Really excited to share this collaboration with the KatayevLab group showing how Fe/S catalysis can make privileged bioisosteres quickly, easily, and cheaply! Check it out in Angewandte Chemie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Great to see this out! I still remember our first meeting in January 2024. I enjoyed working on this with Po-Kai and Shijin they were very supportive. Thanks to you, KatayevLab, Anthony J. Fernandes for working on such a difficult problem together. It was a great team effort!

Our Iron-photocatalysis approach to small-ring transfer is now live in its final form Angewandte Chemie! Great collaboration with Julian West Julian West. Congratulations to everyone involved 🚀 DCBPunibern Swiss Chemical Society #chemistry Check it out here 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

The final version of our paper is available, and open access! If you are interested in radical decarboxylative approaches or small rings, please have a look. Swiss National Science Foundation KatayevLab Julian West DCBPunibern

Ultimately, a single, carefully considered thought was all it took to solve this problem! I am happy to see the 3rd chapter of my PhD thesis in Angewandte Chemie. Thanks to everyone at the West Group (Julian West) and KatayevLab for the wonderful collaboration. DCBPunibern Swiss National Science Foundation.

Excited to share this new paper in Nature Communications co-led by Kangjie (Harry) Bian and Shijin Yu on photocatalytic azidofunctionalizations using iron terpy complexes. Iron LMCT in the visible range! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congrats to Shijin, Drew, and Martin on publication of this C-H arylation with remarkable terminal selectivity! 3,5-lutidine turns out to be key! Check it out ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…
