Reza’s latest work is hot off the press!
Happy to contribute to the conjugated materials special issue in Organic Letters #ChemSky #PiSky pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
From Aqua Green to Deep Red in One Step: Targeted Design of a Highly Luminescent Phosphacyclic Vat Orange 3 Dye
Silver-mediated phosphacyclic ring expansion with strategic placement of phosphorus and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) on Vat Orange 3 was carried out. The target compounds possess narrow HOMO...

Some more beautiful crystals from the @tbaumlab.bsky.social

Reza in the @tbaumlab.bsky.social has spent forever trying to grow these crystals.

They are easily one of the smallest and weakest diffracting crystals I've ever run! But we still by some miracle managed to get a half decent structure out of it.

The pretty colors from our ligand screen make up for the broken shovel I guess? 🤷

First big article of the year, Chemical Science!
A fantastic and very pleasant collaboration with our friends from the @tbaumlab.bsky.social, York University of Toronto, Canada.
It is so exciting to collaborate with such outstanding scientists! 🤗🤗

Have to love spending a couple of hours weighing out K3PO4 to start doing some medium throughout screening 🥲

One of my first ampoules and it's absolutely adorable 🥹

Prepped under vacuum for long-term Glovebox storage 🙃
