We are thrilled to share our latest discovery nature.com/articles/s42004-0… ! Give this iron-catalyzed reaction a go if you need a benzylic or tertiary carbon–heteroatom bond! I can't wait to further apply it ourselves! Congrats to the team on filling some nice gaps in metal catalysis!

Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) photoswitches are synthetically modular, leading to tunable photophysical and switching properties! To facilitate designer DASA construction, we describe compartmentalized DASA structure-property relationships! Read the Open Access @J_A_C_S Perspective here, pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Fungibility isn't only for fiat vs #crypto (think #NFTs – how relevant with #BTC hitting ATHs)! "We recognized that the homodimer of a disulfide is the fungible disulfide itself and is, therefore, inconsequential to the transformation." We are grateful to Synlett / Synpacts for the opportunity to give more background on the design behind our recent iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile disulfide coupling!

Our future is bright
Last week, we welcomed our first year Ph.D. students during our orientation week for Fall 2024! We are excited to see all the amazing things you will do at USC! A special shout-out to @USC_CGSO for helping with hosting the ice cream social and trivia night! Lastly, Fight On! ✌🏽

!! Our most recent publication is now at Nature Communications! We developed a pyrrole rearrangement and used it to create and study a new subclass of light-responsive small molecules named amino DASAs! Congratulations to the team!! Learn more here, nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

This year's #USC Stauffer Lecture, featuring Prof Ben List, was awesome! The symposium had great talks by Profs Dong (UCI), Kwon (UCLA), Nelson (Caltech), Thompson (USC), Vanderwal (UCI), Wang (URI), and Williams (USC). It was an honor to present with such a lineup! 🤩 #FightOn

I like this pic better! It shows how nitrogen's additional bonding orbital enabled a rearrangement that had been limited to furans since 1850! It also highlights how amino DASAs unlock the final static compartment in DASA photoswitches! Read more here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

The Piancatelli and related rearrangements have been limited to furans since 1850. We developed the first pyrrole equivalent and used it to make new light-responsive matter!! Read about the first amino DASAs in our @ChemRxiv preprint here chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

!! Our group's first publication is now available in the J. Am. Chem. Soc.! We developed a scalable, iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling and used it in a number of applications! We sincerely thank reviewers for strengthening our report. Please join me in congratulating Julius (@Ju_Seme) and Yuanjie! Learn more here, pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
