Sharing our 1st preprint on our work on organo-Ti photocatalysis! We've found that titanocenes are photoactive catalysts for alcohol activation by LMCT excitation, enabling β-scission of alkoxyl radicals for degradative functionalization. Congrats Jagrut, Ashley & the whole team!

Hello BlueSky 🦋 I'm the Director of Graduate Studies in Cornell Chemistry. We're hiring a new Graduate Field Coordinator to help support our graduate program. Please apply or repost if you know someone great! tinyurl.com/3znxx4bh

⭐️ fifth year PhD student Kaitlyn (who worked in the Chirik lab as a UG) traveled to the pits of New Jersey today to present her research on fluorination using MOFs at Princeton! Thanks @stache-lab.bsky.social for helping to organize 😀

Congrats to former UG Darren and current PhD student Sewon for their great work on photo oxidative degradation of poly(vinyl ethers)!

Stay tuned for a new podcast episode tomorrow! Got some exciting stuff from Hanning Jiang and Erik Medina on their latest research!

🚨 NEWS 🚨 Super excited to share that our first paper has been published in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social, describing our development of Vitamin B6-inspired amino acid photodecarboxylation! doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Here’s my post on the NIH indirect costs slash-and-burn. God, these people are exhausting:

Remember when we chopped up the rubber duck? Now you’ll see why - check out our latest photothermal work in JACS, recycling PVC and polystyrene! Congrats to Hanning and Erik (first publication ever!) on this great work! #plastics #recycling #chemsky pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Couldn’t resist posting this: I met Santa on my run this morning! Merry Christmas!! 🎅❄️🎁🤣 -EES

Happy holidays from the Stache lab! Take a listen to our new podcast episode where we talk about what kind of gear Santa has, ancient holiday traditions, and more! www.buzzsprout.com/admin/241225...

Red light, green light? Not anymore - we show red light turns on and controls polymerization by accessing an LMCT mechanism using thiolate ligation on cobalt. Check it out in JACS - great work Sajjad, Cristina, and Dan! #Chemsky #light #polymers pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
