Check out our latest finding in @JOC_OL, titled "Minisci C–H Alkylation of Heterocycles with Unactivated Alkyl Iodides Enabled by Visible Light Photocatalysis." Kudos to @GYedase and the team. We thank PMRF for the funding. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… @tvmiiser @Chemie_iisertvm

Unforgettable moments and insightful discussions with an incredible team at the #ICMGSC2025! An exceptional event of scientific insights, connections and inspiration. Onward and upward! #ICMGSC2025 @tvmiiser @Chemie_iisertvm @RoySocChem @DaltonTrans @remulveygroup @Ghadwal_Group @ChrisSlootweg @Francois_Gabbai @dmresearchgroup @rebecca_melen @harder_research @SangitK35711415 @SDRobertsonChem @KrossingGroup @LabBraunschweig @RiedelLab @scheschkewitz @OrthaberLab @Jones_Research @Moumita_CHEM @organomimetic @Coles_lab @IndiaDST @ANRFIndia

We started 2025 with a Pre-Synopsis of our first PhD, Girish Yedase @GYedase. We congratulate him on his future endeavors. We thank @Chemie_iisertvm @tvmiiser and all the Professors for their constructive suggestions.

We wrapped 2024 with a group lunch in Trivandrum. It has been an excellent year for the group. Kudos to all Group Members for making this year a memorable one. We surge towards 2025 with more expectations. @Chemie_iisertvm @tvmiiser

Last day 1st keynote speaker Prof. Sukbok Chang from @IBS_media @KAIST_Chem delving us into how Ni-H Catalysis escalates the amino group transfer processes in traditional synthetic chemistry.

It's wonderful talk by @aztul on electrocatalysis.

Presented poster @ischa2024 in IIT BOMBAY. On "C-H alkylation of heterocyclic with inactivated alkyl iodides enabled visible light photocatalysis." @ischa2024, @GroupYvr @iitbombay

It's a great start to day 2 at ISCHA 7- 2024 in IIT Bombay.

Exciting deep dive into C-H activation strategies from @HartwigGroup at @UCBerkeley. Discover how this powerful approach is transforming diverse fields of chemistry, enabling more efficient synthesis and paving the way for breakthroughs in materials, pharmaceuticals, and beyond.

There is still time to submit your poster abstract for the ChemSci 2024: Leaders in the field symposium jointly organised by the School of Chemistry @tvmiiser and @RoySocChem 9-11 December 2024 at IISER TVM, India Submit your abstract by 20 November 2024 chemsci2024.com/

A growing assumption is that using tetrafluoroborate as a counterion for diazonium salts results in safe and stable salts. This assumption is not generally true, as also BF4-salts of aryldiazoniums have been reported to explode! Stay safe! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

It's great moment to intract with Prof.Morten Meldal, Nobel laureate (2022 in chemistry). in our campus iisertvm.

Prof. Biplab Maji (@bm_iiserk ) illuminated the audience with insights on Visible-Light-Fueled Catalysis, blending energy and electron transfer seamlessly. Mind officially blown! #IFSC23 @tvmiiser @IITKanpur @LCC_CNRS

Embarking on an enlightening session with Prof. Jagadeesh Rajenahally @Jagadeesh_Group, delving into Catalysis for Sustainable and Circular Chemistry at #IFSC23. Guiding the discourse is the esteemed session chair, Prof. Basker Sundararaju @tvmiiser @IITKanpur @LCC_CNRS

Explore the future of sustainability with Dr. Suresh Raju's enlightening talk on 'Circular Foam.' Witness the chemical recycling revolution for Rigid Polyurethane Foams, reshaping the landscape of insulation materials. #IFSC23 @tvmiiser @IITKanpur @LCC_CNRS @Jagadeesh_Group
