Ever wished you could stitch molecules like LEGO? 🧩 Excited to share our solution for achieving selective alkyl-alkyl coupling using isolable Nickel-Alkyl complexes — now in @Nature ! Congrats to the Ni-Alkyl squad, and our collaborators @Merck ! https://t.co/QKNSWZn7WJ

@LcsoLab @ChemRxiv @najung_lee_ @josh_wwu @DuncanBrownsey @JozefKristek1 Beautiful chemistry! :)

@willyiamm What’s the red lamp for? 👀

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@MoleculesGoHard Immediately thought of this reference 😂

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@willyiamm Same, felt too impatient to wait for parts to arrive from eBay back in the day. Gratification was too delayed..

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@willyiamm @Sculpturatus I understand and could relate to some of what you’ve said. Most unis cover tuition with merit scholarships, while the grad school is tuition-free (in fact they pay you to do chemistry). You could start doing research on day 1 as an undergrad. Lmk of any questions!

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@willyiamm @Sculpturatus You seem very talented and maybe it’s worth considering doing research at the R1 university where you would have plenty of space and research opportunities. I think your 5 year chemistry experience is remarkable and I wouldn’t easily discount it

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@willyiamm Very cool! Love all the little cute stickers on the hotplate :)

I've created a molecule so powerful that I'm only sharing the structure with a select group of chemical companies

@CSProfKGD So good 😆

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@reggiemills28 @Kavita0809 Awesome work, congrats to the team! I wonder if this platformi could be extended to polar C-X couplings with nucleophiles -or- radical C(sp3)-C(sp3) couplings with alkyl radical precursors

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@AtsauSaucedo @NarayanLab @WickensGroup congratulations!!

[Samir Al Zubaydi @sam_samirkin]

@weixgroup @EastmanChemCo Congrats, Lauren!!

This past week, we headed to ACS Spring 2025 in San Diego to be recognized for the Harry Gray Award for Creative Work in Inorganic Chemistry by a Young Investigator and present some new and exciting research!

@leecronin love that shot glass on the right xD

Our next step in developing nickel catalyzed borylations is to incorporate data science into our ways of working. Check out the latest from #BMSChemistry! #ProudtobeBMS https://t.co/FIZqKDhBvJ
