We are extremely excited to share our first contribution in organic redox-flow batteries out now in @J_A_C_S! Here we transform waste triphenylphosphine oxide for energy storage.
Congrats to Emily @electrochemily for creating a first for our Team! #RFB

Happy to share our latest work out now in @NatureChemistry. We show the cross coupling of alkyl carboxylic acids and boronic acids.
Congrats to Jessica, @ortho_maxb, and the team! @NUChemistry

Itās official! The Eremina Lab opens at @UTChemistry in January 2027! Weāll unite nanotechnology, analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy & molecular imaging to study health and disease. Recruiting postdocs & grad studentsāpls repost & reach out.
Stay tuned! Hook āem Horns! š¤

Another contribution to the #ElectrochemistryTalents series of #ChemElectroChem is now online! Learn about electrochemical oxidations of aryl boronic acids in this work by @CAMalapit and co-workers: chemistry-europe.onlinelibraā¦
Iām excited to share our latest paper out now in @J_A_C_S.
Mechanistic studies on alternating polarity AP electrolysis in generation of Ary/Alkyl radicals from organoboron (and carboxylic acids). We show that potential mapping (based on current and frequency) can predict & optimize radical generation and understand challenges (unwanted oxidation, passivation).
Congrats to Jake and team #organoboron!

Inspired by work of @LloydJonesLab and our recent work in alternating polarity electrolysis, we show that fluoride activation generates arylfluoroborate intermediates that are easier to oxidize than aryl trifluoroborates and boronic acids; leading to effective aryl radical generation.
Congrats to Dr. Enqi Feng and Ian (former UG intern; now GS) for getting this wonderful work! To team organoboron, @ortho_maxb (now at Merck) for leading the foundation of our organoboron projects, Lise (visiting GS) for mechanistic work, and Rossul (former UG) for initial developments; congrats! Iām excited for more work to come.

Electrochemical oxidation enables aromatic CāH amination with dual mechanisms
nature.com/articles/s44160-0ā¦ ($)
We are happy to share our latest work now out in @NatureSynthesis.
Via electrochemical oxidation of amine (DABCO) to N-radical dication, we show that selective aromatic C-H amination can be achieved, including previously challenging arenes.
Congrats to Griffin, @evamariawara, Chris, and collaborators Jonathan, @kalowlab @MalapitLab
nature.com/articles/s44160-0ā¦
C-H amination via oxidatively generated N-radical cations is rare as they often undergo HAT reactions. However they were proposed by @NicewiczLab as alternative mechanism (to arene oxidation) that functionalized benzene and toluene in photocatalysis.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ā¦
Current aromatic C-H amination reactions are incompatible with electron deficient arenes (low reactivity or poor selectivity). We show that by oxidative generation of N-radical cation (instead of reductive, the more common approach) C-H amination is possible including tough arenes.

Thank you to Phil S. Baran (@BaranLabReads) from @scrippsresearch for delivering the 2025 Bender Lectures! His lectures on radical cross-coupling inspired collaboration and gave students and faculty an exceptional chance to connect with world-class science. #OrganicChemistry
Amazing two days of hosting Phil Baran @BaranLabReads for the Bender Distinguished Lectures @NUChemistry
ā”ļøThanks for the inspiring talks and stories!
We are thrilled to celebrate Dr./Prof. Eva Alvarez @evamariawara as she begins her role as Assistant Professor at U of Virginia @ChemistryUVA this week! Thank you for the leadership and mentorship you brought to @MalapitLab and @NUChemistry!
We will miss you! šš§”
