Fantastic line "Dissolving 2b in d6-DMSO for NMR spectroscopy gave the first sign that these oCb-IF2 species are highly reactive, where an explosion immediately resulted."

RFK Jr. is an outright danger to this country, and he should resign or be fired. Do we still have the sort of government that does such things? Or have we turned into. . . that other kind. You know the one.

I want someone brave to put it in their SI. No more "in vacuo", say what we all know!

Great paper here on @chemrxiv.bsky.social from the Lipschultz lab @jeflip.bsky.social - 1st author J. Shah just gave a super talk on this Ti-cat dehydroxylation work at our ACS Conn. Valley Section symposium today - really neat rearrangements and compound fragmentations as synthetic strategy too
Degradative Alcohol Functionalization by Titanocene Photocatalysis
Organotitanium complexes are scarcely employed in photocatalytic reactions despite their robust ligand-to-metal charge-transfer photo-chemistry. Herein, we describe the development of titanocene pho-t...

Did JACS use AI to make this cover art? If so, immensely disappointing. pubs.acs.org/toc/jacsat/1...
Journal of the American Chemical Society
A strategy of an electron fence is developed by intercalating Rh atomic layers at the gold–zeolite interface, which effectively confines electrons around Au, reversing its valence state from positive ...

I've written what I think is an interesting little retrospective on the development of cross-coupling reactions- nothing is ever made in a vacuum, so what reactions helped inspire Kumada, Tamao, and Negishi? alwaysbecoupling.blogspot.com/2025/05/look... #chemsky
Looking back: How was cross-coupling invented?

My team achieved top 20 in the 6th Merck Compound Challenge. I'm super proud of the work we did, and if you'd like to see our route I've written a blog post about it at alwaysbecoupling.blogspot.com/2025/04/merc...

I'm a PhD student about to defend and currently looking for postdoc positions, and I've been dealing with multiple opportunities being impacted. I'd be happy to chat about it.
