Excited to share Mulan's excellent perspective on chemical exfoliation. We highlight how non van der Waals materials may be better for exfoliation than you think. Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

The Knowles Lab reports a general method for the catalytic intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of alkenes with a wide range primary sulfonamides, sulfamides, sulfamates, in ACS Catalysis. Congrats Angela, Mathis, Qiaolin, Jake, Ben, and Rob: doi.org/10.1021/acscat…

Our new Perspective is on the cover of The Journal of Chemical Physics! Check out our approach to gas-phase molecular polaritons and exploration of future systems for electronic and vibrational strong coupling: doi.org/10.1063/5.0220… Congrats to Jane on her first first-author paper!

Today we had the great pleasure of welcoming our new cohort of graduate students to Princeton Chemistry for #orientation. Thanks DGS Erik Sorensen and the speakers who intro’d the program. Thanks Patti and Sarah. And thanks to our grad students – we’re thrilled that you’re here!

Is cobalt a sandwich? pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Congrats to Maya Lebowitz and the team on taming 20-electron cobalt sandwiches! Awesome collab with #merckchemistry Breaking the 18-electron rule is brat. Chirik Group ACS Catalysis

What a great summer with faculty and students from our 3rd Annual Visiting Faculty Research Partnership (VFRP) program, from Emmanuel College, Hampton University and CSUSB. Thanks for being a part of the #Frick community. Story: bit.ly/4cAKy5U

Hearty congratulations Will Jacobs on a major grant from the NIH. This general funding for early-stage P.I.s supports a lab’s overall work and will help Jacobs advance research on biomolecular condensates. Congratulations Will! Announcement here: bit.ly/3T215bX

Check out some of our latest work in the style of Wes Anderson! We love recycling in any form 🐥♻️ #wesandersontrend #recycling #chemistry

Thanks for the generous contribution to our grad student #orientation by Shiloh Andersson 🧪⚛️💻 (front, facing class). Shiloh ran a two-day math and coding bootcamp for theory and pchem students this week. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

.#ICYMI this summer, our Leslie Schoop Schoop Lab has been named director of @PCCM_mrsec, an U.S. National Science Foundation-supported center that explores the frontiers of complexity in materials science. Congratulations Leslie!

Our annual incoming grad student photo gallery is “live,” with a few photos from our 2024 cohort at home, caving, hiking, and traveling before arriving last week Princeton Chemistry. Again, welcome to our students! Enjoy the gallery here: bit.ly/3MnOITW

We are so stoked to reveal: the Stache Lab’s very first journal cover! 🎉🎊 At the same time, we highlight our latest publication, which takes a look at novel photothermal transformations in organic synthesis. Check out the cover and our article here: pubs.acs.org/toc/acscii/cur…

Great to see this turnout today Princeton Chemistry as grad students held what could legitimately be called the first GSO meeting of the new term. (Thanks for the photo, Mulan and Sarah.)

Now out from the MacMillan Group in Nature Chemical Biology: “µMap proximity labeling in living cells reveals stress granule disassembly mechanisms.” Congratulations Roderick, Steve, Sean, and Dave on this fine work. Paper here: bit.ly/3z1Vr2O

Our latest on nickel catalysts for reversible [2+2] cycloaddition for depolymerization. Congrats Cherish Chirik Group. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Welcome to the Fall Term and a new GenChem course with Michael Hecht at the fore, introducing the flow of energy, gas phases, atomic structure, the ‘weird’ shape of the periodic table, and a lot more: “We’ll talk about that.” Enjoy the term!

From the Iodine Clock demo to the Ammonia Fountain, Princeton Chemistry’s one-year chem demonstrator Angela Miller knows how to keep students visually enthralled with the workings of chemistry! Enjoy our feature on Angie: bit.ly/3Z9Z8hu

Congratulations @ChristheChang postdoc Cheng Yang Cheng Yang, named a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellow for his work to develop methionine sulfoxide labeling approaches. #CancerResearch Well done, Cheng! Here’s the announcement: bit.ly/4dSpLfi

Two fantastic seminars coming up over the next few days Princeton Chemistry. All are welcome. Reception to follow each talk. This FRIDAY with John Hartwig at 4:30pm ... … and this MONDAY with Xiaowei Zhuang at 3:30pm.

A team including Princeton Chemistry's Joshua Rabinowitz and researchers from Penn State, Stanford University and more have found that a drug developed for cancer treatment also shows promise for treating neurodegenerative diseases. bit.ly/47bVshf
