Sparking and raising a love for chemistry among young minds with the exciting Brigg-Rauschers reaction, elephant toothpaste, and great balls and fire during the National Chemistry Week in October. The kids had lots of fun learning some basic chemistry.

A little late posting this - but we had an enjoyable @SlaughterLab group dinner/reunion with group alum Dr. Fanji Kong during his summer visit to Denton (7/13/23)

[Slaughter Group @ UNT @SlaughterLab]

Check out these groundbreaking research contributions from @SlaughterLab MS alum Fanji Kong (now a postdoc in the Gunnoe Group at UVA)!

Our latest paper is featured on the cover of this week's issue of Organometallics!

[Organometallics @Orgmet_ACS]

Our latest @Orgmet_ACS issue is out today, and on the cover a welcome to "Orgmet Orchards," where you can pick your own gold complex to harvest your desired apples and oranges. Please read the article and the whole issue here: https://t.co/DvfSVkeUna @ACSPublications

Highly encumbered acyclic diaminocarbene ligands flip the selectivity in a regiodivergent gold-catalyzed reaction to the normally disfavored product. See the @Orgmet_ACS article from @SlaughterLab @UNTChemistry.
