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
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
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.
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…

🎉 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!

The role played by substituents on the gas-phase fragmentations of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarins by our alumni @herbertjrdias, with the collaboration of @mcindoe and others, is now in the Journal of Mass Spectrometry. Check it out at

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
