Curious about the impacts of Lewis acids on persulfide & thioselenide chemistry? Check out Keyan & Addison’s paper using isolated ZnSSR & ZnSeSR complexes to directly study reactivity. Lots of insights from 77Se NMR & XRD!

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is the newest gasotransmitter & a key protic small molecule bioregulator. We report a platform approach to develop/deploy biocompatible responsive chemical tools for HCN delivery. Check out Mike's paper in

New ACS Chem Biol paper out: No H2S needed - We show that an increasingly common approach for H2S detection actual reports on thiols and esterases. Nice work Haley, Aleanna, Christopher, & Ally sorting out the chemistry of this system! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Check out Shiva’s @chemicalscience.rsc.org paper on using in situ ReactIR to measure host-guest binding across hydrogen and halogen-bonding #supramolecular systems. Can be used w/ host or guest vibrations to measure Ka values. Great work @shivamoaven.bsky.social!

To kick off our bluesky & #chemsky account (and close out 2024) here is the work from our group from 2024. A variety of reactive sulfur species, supramolecular, and related work from a great group of @uoregon.bsky.social students! 🦆🧪🔬
