Heteroaromatic rings with five sides and a triple bond are so strained that they were thought to be impossible to make. But now, researchers report that they’ve made 7-aza-2,3-indolynes by using nickel to stabilize the triple bond. cen.acs.org/synthesis/Five…

The Roberts Group (Roberts Group at UMN) was published in Science earlier today! 👏📰 Check out the story behind the paper: cse.umn.edu/chem/news/robe…

Nickel binding enables isolation and reactivity of previously inaccessible 7-aza-2,3-indolynes

Inaccessible? As if!

Check out our recent work where we report the first examples of “inaccessible” 5-membered N-heteroarynes! Great job jenna humke Roman Belli Erin Plasek Sal Annabel Ansel and Courtney Roberts UMN Department of Chemistry

🚨 Congrats to our rising fourth grad students jenna humke and Erin Plasek for winning the Research Excellence Fellowship UMN Department of Chemistry !

Had a great time on the annual UMN Department of Chemistry inorganic canoe trip! Thanks for organizing it this year Chris Seong

There are words you shouldn’t call academic (or any) women. Words you might think are innocuous, but have a long history of being used to dismiss, devalue, or discredit women. You might not be aware that these words should be avoided. A 🧵
