When it comes to the catalysts that chemists rely on to assemble organic molecules, some metals are just greener than others...right? In my latest C&EN feature, I attempt to explain why that question doesn't (yet) have a simple answer: cen.acs.org/synthesis/cataly…

The paper! nature.com/articles/s41557-0… As a note, "HAT" was accidentally replaced by "XAT" in many instances during production and this is getting fixed!

I never imagined we would get the chance to be highlighted in @cenmag By the fantastic @bri_barbu!! A great write up of some cool chemistry developed by @KangjieBian, @YenChu_TW, David Nemoto, @SCK64778810, and @3Doperator Out in @NatureChemistry! cen.acs.org/synthesis/fluori…
