Our latest preprint is on ChemRxiv! 🎉This was a super fun collaboration with @mcindoe and @LeitchLab, with help from undergad Antonia, where we explored the activation and oxidative addition mechanisms of the dialkyl Pd precatalyst (DAB)Pd(CH2SiMe3)2.🔗 t.ly/zYLzT
Excellent work here from Charlie, who was convinced to do this when I told him it was probably too hard and there was lower-hanging fruit to be had…
Interested in investigating metal-NHC reaction dynamics in real-time with mass spectrometry? Look no further than the @mcindoe lab's newest charge-tagged ligand, ESIMes. Preprint available on ChemRxiv: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20… #realtimechem
Now online in IJMS at doi.org/10.1016/j.ijms.2024.…, congrats to the team
Ever wondered about which solvents were actually the best for permanently charged ions in ESI-MS? We screened 14 so you don't have to, and found a previously-unused one that has great characteristics. Find out more in our preprint at doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…
Since 2015 I've been allowing students to ask questions anonymously during class (and posting some of the more light-hearted responses!), and thanks to @Vio_Iosub we finally got around to documenting the how and why, see preprint at doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20… for more details
Three NZers on the faculty! Well, kind of - David Harrington has just retired. But great to get him and @nelsonyslam (welcome to UVic, Nelson!) together for a photo.
Now online in #JChemEd at doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.…
Latest preprint a collaboration with Krista Kobylianskii & @Vio_Iosub "A brilliantly simple classroom response system" where we show putting lasers in the hands of your students leads to some fun and creative opportunities for active learning in chemistry

A how-to video from last year that I neglected to make public - Dr Peter Williams @peterjhw07 with a detailed account of how to use the glovebox. Check it out at youtu.be/aIuVOL3cYM4
Check out "Mausolates: Large-Cavity Chelates with Potential as Delivery Vehicles in Nuclear Medicine", now available open access in @ChemEurJ. An amazingly versatile and useful ligand, look out for follow-ups coming soon doi.org/10.1002/chem.2024019…
Latest preprint a collaboration with the Berg group (students Amanda Ackroyd, Leah Gajecki, Athan Gogoulis and @jacksmart2000, structures by my pal Allen Oliver). This beautiful dianionic cage is a fantastic binder of a host of metal ions. Details at doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…

Congratulations Gilian! Fantastic news
🎉 Thrilled to be joining the faculty at @UniversityLeeds as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) this Fall!
I am so grateful for this opportunity to continue in academia and pursue my research. HUGE thanks to all of my mentors along the way!

Very happy & grateful to report that our (with @greensafewater_ and @DeborahLCurran) @NSERC_CRSNG NFRF Exploration proposal "Light, current, action! A multi-faceted catalytic approach to the destruction of persistent pollutants" was funded 1/2
Exciting research ahead based on preliminary results gathered with John Hayden & Dr @SapanThind of WaterDrape LLC. Thanks to all for your efforts getting this project rolling! 2/2
Hear Nick on All Points West soon (after the 3:30 news) at cbc.ca/listen/live-radio speaking on this very topic!
Join us Thursday May 23 for an EDI seminar presented by Nicholas J. Roberts of @gileadsciences. Nicholas will be discussing methods of improving colour accessibility in science classrooms and labs. Coffee at 10:30 AM, talk at 11:30 AM in ELL 226. We can't wait for this one!
