The rumours are true! Yesterday I passed my viva, concluding my time at St Andrews 🏴
Thank you to all the mentors who have guided me and to all the colleagues on this journey with me.
Now on to more chemistry…🧪
A huge congratulations to the newly minted Dr McGuff on passing his viva yesterday to conclude a hugely successful PhD! @john_mcguff Big thanks to @RhPdCu and @SPThomasGroup for doing the honors!
Many thanks to the organisers at OSSC 2024! There were many fascinating discussions on chemistry, as well as insightful early career advise!
Group members @MashaMazhuga, @TimHilton98, and Tom presented their posters, with Masha picking up a poster prize! #OSSC2024
A fascinating dive into the chemistry of germanium. Thank you to colleagues, funding bodies, and collaborators who made this work possible.

A new element makes its way into the Watson Group repertoire!
Check out our first foray into the world of germanium in the context of CuAAC chemistry, in collaboration with @BurleyResearch!
The pre-print is available here on @ChemRxiv:

Great work from former group member @MattJAndrews within a fantastic team! Congratulations also to those from @BurleyResearch, @LloydJonesLab, and @GSK for providing fascinating mechanistic insights into ynamine-based CuAAC chemistry!
Congratulations to @john_mcguff and @_marekvarga, as their work on the synthesis of complex BOBs via Rh-catalysed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition has been highlighted in @OPRD_ACS!

Very pleased to now be Dr Kane 🎉 a dramatic close to an incredible 3.5 years in the Watson lab, and it was great to meet @VarinderAggar11 in the process to talk all things boron 🧪
Another chapter in the [2+2+2] odyssey! We investigate the substrate scope of internal alkynes in our process, metal-ligand recovery as well as catalyst reactivation.
Congrats to @john_mcguff for publishing
this neat work in Synlett, assessing the scope and limitations of unactivated internal alkynes for Rh-catalysed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions! @StAndrewsChem@thiemechemistry

Our second #PhDposition is in synthetic methodology playing with palladium and novel organoboron reagents - see our website to make informal inquiries https://t.co/QiurxK7xjh
Congrats to @john_mcguff and @_marekvarga, whose stellar work on complex benzoxaborocycles (BOBs) has been highlighted in synfacts! @thiemechemistry
