Massive congratulations to @dmac68 and @ben_list on winning the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry!

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”

Think like a plant! That's what researchers @Princeton did when they developed a catalyst that makes chemical reactions productive for longer. Based on how photosynthesis works, they slowed down a step in a chemical process to get more out of it: https://t.co/xN0q2IrdFY

Congratulations to @BioLECEFRC's @gabriela_ssc, Prof. Abigail Doyle, and @todd_hyster, who have all won 2022 ACS National Awards! https://t.co/sOqu29Lp4O

The @MacMillan_Lab published today in "Nature Chemistry" on the photoredox-catalyzed site-selective functionalization of tyrosine residues, in collab with the Scholes Lab and @BMSNews. Congrats Beryl, Daniel, Steven, Daniel, Greg, Dave, and all: https://t.co/gshRdhrMub

Our latest work in @J_A_C_S uses pulse radiolysis to directly generate & probe Ni(I) intermediates commonly invoked in cross-coupling, as part of a great collaboration with Matt Bird @MBirdChem & coworkers at @BrookhavenLab through @BioLECEFRC. https://t.co/GdpHoCQEXJ.

[Matt Bird @MBirdChem]

We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate with expertise in synthetic photochemistry and an interest in mechanistic studies to join the @BioLECEFRC team at @BrookhavenLab.

New perspective from @BioLECEFRC ! with @Dr_Dani_AR @minjung_son and led by the twitterless Hannah Sayre. Solar Fuels and Feedstocks: The Quest for Renewable Black Gold - now published in Energy & Environmental Science https://t.co/NMEKAy7sWy @doescience @EES_journal

[Princeton University Research @princetonideas]

What is the role for quantum vibrations in the transfer of electrons for solar energy conversion? Check out research by Princeton Prof Greg Scholes and his team in Nature Chemistry @BioLECEFRC https://t.co/ulw0m34lvw

[Princeton Chemistry @PrincetonChem]

Just out in @J_A_C_S, research from @BioLECEFRC showing that direct excitation of flavin hydroquinone within “ene”-reductase active sites enables new substrates to participate in photoenzymatic reactions. Congrats Braddock, Phillip, Dan, Yuji, Greg, Todd. #chemistry #phdchat

A more environmentally friendly and less wasteful way to produce the polymers that make up plastics is to use UV light. With our support, researchers from @NCState have found ways to use lower energy yellow or green light to make polymer gels https://t.co/aA4e37xtkf

Researchers at @Princeton have yielded a new platform to allow chemists to reinterpret the rules of stereochemistry and stereocontrol, a discovery with important implications for the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries

The organisers of this week's #BlackInChem event spoke to @ChemistryWorld about their stories and hopes for the event.

Let's amplfy Black voices and celebrate Black excellence in chemistry. Follow @BlackInChem @Devin_Eleven @onlyayanna_ & @That_Astro_Chic ⚗️🧪 and get involved

[Dr. Dev 👩🏽‍🔬💙 @Devin_Eleven]

Y’all ready for the flyer for #BlackinChem ?! 👀👀👀👀👀

@That_Astro_Chic @onlyayanna_ @KathinatedDrink @blackinthelab @NatRodLopes1 @hi_d_nq and I are sooooooo excited 🎉🎉🎉

Mark your calendars!

@angew_chem paper by Tomas Hudlicky:

[J. Am. Chem. Soc. @J_A_C_S]

Excitation of Ni-photoredox intermediates generates d-d states that can form Ni(I) via Ni-aryl homolysis. Read more about this work from @PrincetonChem @NCStateChem @BioLECEFRC: https://t.co/x2UNUNWKj1

[Phil Castellano @FNCastellano]

This is a fun project supported by @doescience @BioLECEFRC and it has been fun working with Abby Doyle and her students and Greg Scholes and his group. #chemtwitter @CastellanoGroup @sgarakyaraghi #photoredox
