Excited to be celebrating Prof. Schrock’s birthday at the ACS symposium on C-M multiple bonds!
I’ll try to get to the bottom of the question of “what is the electronic structure of metal-arynes” complete with some new XPS data!

Celebrating lab founding day! Six years in and I can honestly say that I’ve loved nearly every day of it! The people are of course what makes the job worth it - 2 PDs, 8 PhDs, and many undergrads successfully launched with many more to come!

New year, new arynes! Our goal was to provide easy access to our favorite synthon, getting rid of the barrier to its widespread adoption. Now you can make an aryne precursor in one pot from a carboxylic acid ($1.55/g) then derivatize it using SNAr. Bonus: just use blue light or heat to activate!
