Thank you to @POTUS and the Biden Administration for the surprise PECASE award announcement in his final days in office! Team @gilliardgroup is grateful for the recognition! @NSF @ChemistryMIT @MIT @ScienceMIT https://t.co/djW007fF2e

🥳🥳Check out our latest cover @ChemicalScience!
**It's Gabby's indenofluorene machine!!!** 🏭

HUGE thanks to Vitalii Stetsovych for the amazing artwork (and for putting up with me) and to @roiporanne for finishing touches! 😍

After a 5-year gestation, we can finally let chemists know what happens when you fuse donor/acceptor groups to s-indacene. This was a beast of a manuscript, with Bella doing ~85% of the work. The 4 isomers would be impossible to make if they were acenes!

[Renana Poranne @Aromaticist]

🥳Extremely proud to share the latest from our group! Gabby Warren and @kasia_pienko elucidate the effects of benzoheterocyclic annelation on the s-indacene core.
A fun collaborative effort with @UOHaleyLab and @JudyWuChem 😍

Now in @ChemicalScience 😁

@emily_m_arndt This does not in fact mean that the T goes fast in all places, just that they could if they wanted to. Southbound from Wellington to Assembly and just before Sullivan square the Orange Line still slows down to 10-15 mph for reasons 🤷🏻‍♂️

As I child I learned this lesson from watching our neighbors excavate a quarter acre of their yard four feet deep because all other attempts to eradicate their bamboo patch had failed.

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

Learn from my very expensive mistake:

Do not, under any circumstances, plant bamboo anywhere on your property

You know what would be far more impactful and inclusive @Nature? Not charging people around the world to read scientific articles on your site.

Been working on some nickel chemistry and I'm absolutely obsessed with how beautiful and easy they are to crystallize. 😍😍😍

Least favorite feature of my new work laptop: the Microsoft copilot button which replaced the “ctrl” key on the right side of the keyboard which happens to be the “ctrl” key I use the most 😩

At long last, Efrain's paper is out! Removing the two TIPSethynyl groups on the DIAn core increases deltaEst by ~0.4 kcal/mol.

Our manuscript on carbodicarbene-stibenium ion-mediated C-H activation is now published in @angew_chem (https://t.co/ozjdm6FaKf)! Levi (@lwarring1994) reports reactions with acetonitrile and alkynes to give Sb-methylene nitrile and Sb-alkynyl products. @ChemistryMIT #maingroup

[Joshua Barker @jbarkerUO]

Congrats @nathan_frey_ and the rest of the team!

[Robert J. Gilliard, Jr. @RJGilliard]

Our manuscript on borafluorene-mediated sulfur activation is published in @InorgChem (https://t.co/muzlffl8Xn)! @nathan_frey_ leads this study where he reports boryl-linked S7 and S8 catenates and related chalcogenide molecules! @gilliardgroup @cedwinwebster #maingroup #boron
