Happy finally see our last project printed 🥹. Insights into alkyl-alkyl iron catalyzed cross coupling.

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

Excited to the see the latest work from @MagaliGimeno20 and @MariaCAguilera_ now out in @angew_chem. Some really cool insights into how to achieve effective alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling with iron. @OxfordChemistry

@MatsonLab Congrats Ellen🥳🥳🥳

[Noah Dunham @NoahPDunham]

Wild-type transaminases, a lysine smart donor, and a great scope of noncanonical amino acids, out today in @J_A_C_S (https://t.co/wXQhayg58s).

All thanks to a crack team!

@fryania @davidvarchem @FasanLab 🙌🙌 crack como siempre @davidvarchem !!! Congrats to all the team!

[Elias Picazo @_Picazo]

!! Our group's first publication is now available in the J. Am. Chem. Soc.! We developed a scalable, iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling and used it in a number of applications! We sincerely thank reviewers for strengthening our report. Please join me in congratulating Julius (@Ju_Seme) and Yuanjie! Learn more here, https://t.co/Hx3DI9Kx7p

Pushing Boundaries of Oxidation States with Fe: "Synthesis and characterization of an iron(VII) nitrido complex" 😲😲😱😱🤯 Happy to have been part of this massive work with K. Meyer @SAVJannuzzi @mpicec_press @m_malischewski Finally out @NatureChemistry

[Maria Camila Aguilera @MariaCAguilera_]

Excited to be part of this collaboration!!!! Congrats to the team

[Fasan Lab @FasanLab]

Check out our recent work shedding light on the mechanism of a myoglobin-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction. Congrats to lead authors Albert, John, and Rahul! Great collaboration with the @AndoLab @TheNeidigLab and Zhang labs 🎉

[Elias Picazo @_Picazo]

I am beyond thrilled to share our group's first independent contribution as a preprint. We discovered an iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling and used it for disulfide bioconjugation, drug synthesis, and other applications! Find the preprint here: https://t.co/PhMSbeLNIK

@Satyajit_chem @NatureCatalysis @FasanLab @davidvarchem @URochesterChem @UTDallasChemBio Congrats to Satyajit and @davidvarchem for a great piece of science!!!!!

[Franco Research Group - U. Rochester @FrancoGroupUofR]

The mighty @GustinIgnacio figured out a way to understand how solvent and individual vibrations contribute to the electronic decoherence of molecules with full chemical complexity!

👉These decoherence pathways finally connect chemical structure with quantum decoherence! 👈2/n

[Franco Research Group - U. Rochester @FrancoGroupUofR]

How does a molecule 👉really👈 decoheres in solvent?

In this #justpublished @PNASNews, we developed a strategy to finally elucidate the chemical principles of electronic quantum decoherence!
