Sparking and raising a love for chemistry among young minds with the exciting Brigg-Rauschers reaction, elephant toothpaste, and great balls and fire during the National Chemistry Week in October. The kids had lots of fun learning some basic chemistry.

Happy Birthday Pete @Wolczanski_Grp ! Our latest publication, dedicated to the Grand Master of sterically encumbered coordination compounds on the occasion of his 70th Birthday. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
A little late posting this - but we had an enjoyable @SlaughterLab group dinner/reunion with group alum Dr. Fanji Kong during his summer visit to Denton (7/13/23)
Check out these groundbreaking research contributions from @SlaughterLab MS alum Fanji Kong (now a postdoc in the Gunnoe Group at UVA)!
@UVA is making strides in eco-friendly plastic production. A chemistry professor's innovative ethylene conversion method offers a cleaner and more cost-effective way to create higher olefins, revolutionizing a $10 billion industry.

Congrats to Dr. Roshani M. Ariyagnana Asuramana Pedi Durayalage, who successfully defended her Ph.D. dissertation today! Rajitha and little Sathija provided moral support.
Our latest paper is featured on the cover of this week's issue of Organometallics!
Our latest @Orgmet_ACS issue is out today, and on the cover a welcome to "Orgmet Orchards," where you can pick your own gold complex to harvest your desired apples and oranges. Please read the article and the whole issue here: pubs.acs.org/toc/orgnd7/40/1… @ACSPublications
Thanks to @FigueroaGroup for the inspiration and for sending us some CNArDipp2. More chemists should use your awesome BIG isocyanides
Latest paper from @SlaughterLab @UNTChemistry: Taking acyclic diaminocarbene ligands to new extremes of bulkiness, with interesting results in gold catalysis! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Highly encumbered acyclic diaminocarbene ligands flip the selectivity in a regiodivergent gold-catalyzed reaction to the normally disfavored product. See the @Orgmet_ACS article from @SlaughterLab @UNTChemistry.
Check out the preprint of our manuscript on highly encumbered acyclic diaminocarbene ligands in regiodivergent gold catalysis, recently submitted for publication: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.13…
