When it comes to the catalysts that chemists rely on to assemble organic molecules, some metals are just greener than others...right?

In my latest C&EN feature, I attempt to explain why that question doesn't (yet) have a simple answer:

The take away from this class:
energy (kcal) = 28600 / wavelength (nm)

[Xiaowei Chen @3Doperator]

Last class of (probably) last class of Prof. Paul Engel at Rice. 🎓 Grateful for the knowledge gained in his spectroscopy and phys ochem class and this photochemistry class!

[Julian West @pushingarrows]

Delighted to share a creative approach to general iron photocatalyzed alkene difunctionalization developed by @KangjieBian, David Nemoto, @3Doperator, @SCK64778810, and James Hooson published as a HOT article in @ChemicalScience

"Basically any fluorinated fragment that you can get the carboxylic acid of is now fair game for adding into a molecule” in @pushingarrows and team's new Nature Chemistry paper

The paper!

As a note, "HAT" was accidentally replaced by "XAT" in many instances during production and this is getting fixed!

[Julian West @pushingarrows]

I never imagined we would get the chance to be highlighted in @cenmag
By the fantastic @bri_barbu!! A great write up of some cool chemistry developed by @KangjieBian, @YenChu_TW, David Nemoto, @SCK64778810, and @3Doperator
Out in @NatureChemistry!

@XMa75870843 Wow, that sounds incredible! I'm practicing the Well-Tempered Clavier daily. The joy of delving into Bach's masterpieces is relatable! 🎹
