Our group’s first publication is now online in Organometallics @pubs.acs.org ! It was so much fun to work with amazing undergrads on cationic nickel and palladium complexes with a very interesting bismuth ligand. Some properties were unexpected but inspire us to look into catalysis. More to come!
Comparative Study of the Structures and Reactivities of Cationic Nickel and Palladium Complexes with a Bismuth-Bisphosphine (PBiP) Ligand
We report the synthesis, structural characterization, and reactivity of a new series of cationic nickel and palladium complexes featuring a bismuth-bisphosphine (PBiP) ligand. By converting neutral R2...

Really want to recommend this book to everyone as it indeed provides me some insights into the explosion of mental health issues of college students. Not a neuroscientist but really enjoyed it and learnt a lot! Wonderful winter reading.

To China 🇨🇳 for day 16 of #ChemAdvent

Tangyuan are eaten in China at Winter Solstice and Chinese New Year. There's a chemical reason behind the stickiness of the rice used to make them!
