Think like a plant! That's what researchers @Princeton did when they developed a catalyst that makes chemical reactions productive for longer. Based on how photosynthesis works, they slowed down a step in a chemical process to get more out of it: chemistry.princeton.edu/news…

Our latest work in @J_A_C_S uses pulse radiolysis to directly generate & probe Ni(I) intermediates commonly invoked in cross-coupling, as part of a great collaboration with Matt Bird @MBirdChem & coworkers at @BrookhavenLab through @BioLECEFRC. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac….

Just out in @J_A_C_S, research from @BioLECEFRC showing that direct excitation of flavin hydroquinone within “ene”-reductase active sites enables new substrates to participate in photoenzymatic reactions. Congrats Braddock, Phillip, Dan, Yuji, Greg, Todd. #chemistry #phdchat

A more environmentally friendly and less wasteful way to produce the polymers that make up plastics is to use UV light. With our support, researchers from @NCState have found ways to use lower energy yellow or green light to make polymer gels news.ncsu.edu/2020/09/photoa…
