Ynamide and Azaalleneyl. Acid-Base Promoted Chelotropic and Spin-State Rearrangements in a Versatile Heterocumulene [(Ad)NCC(tBu)]- (Daniel J. Mindiola and co-workers) @mindiolagroup Baik Group #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Check out our latest work in Angewandte Chemie! Mrinal Bhunia shows that a Ti(IV) nitride undergoes N-C bond coupling with CO and CNR to form a series of Ti(II) cumulenes.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Graduate Program Open House. We had a great time and made a lot of new friends. And special thanks to our staff and volunteers for making it happen!

We are humbled by the extraordinary generosity of Roy & Diana Vagelos who have provided a transformative gift to foster chemistry and energy education into the future.

Check out our first article of 2024 published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. where we describe how a Vanadium Alkylidyne leads to the formation of cyclic conjugated polymers! The second of many cyclic polymer papers to come! Adam Veige Sumerlin Research Group Baik Group

Parker Boeck and Rinku Yadav show our W-catalyst is reaonably tolerant of funtional groups. If you have ideas for new monomers for cyclic polymers to try let us know and hopefully this work provides some guidance. UF Chemistry Brent Sumerlin pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to our Iron Man EZmoney for a successful dissertation defense last week. We wish him well on his next steps where he will be joining the Szymczak Group as a Post-doctoral fellow in the new year!

I'm happy to share that my first publication from Grad school has been published online! In this work, we describe a streamlined synthesis of catalysts that produce cyclic conjugated polymers.

Check out our latest paper spearheaded by John Russell and Debabrata Konar. Our first of two papers describing the formation of cyclic conjugated polymers with early transition metal complexes. Congrats to all those involved!
