We are very pleased to announce the Polymer Chemistry special collection on Synthetic methodologies for complex macromolecular structures, in honour of Professor Yusuf Yağci’s 70th birthday   Professor Yusuf Yağci has worked on various aspects of polymer synthesis during his long research career and has developed several new synthetic methodologies to create functional macromolecules. He [&#…

Almost 15 years ago, Robert Gilliard posed for a photo in front of MIT’s Great Dome. At the time, he was an undergraduate at Clemson University visiting MIT with his research advisor, former MIT postdoc and Clemson University professor Rhett Smith. Just last month, Gilliard arranged a similar photo in front of the dome. This […]

The National Science Foundation recently awarded a five-year, $20 million grant to Duke University researchers to explore and optimize the chemical structure and physical properties of individual molecules in a polymer network. The NSF Center for the Chemistry of Molecularly Optimized Networks (MONET) will bring together experts in polymer chemistry, synthetic methods, photochemistry, multi-scale…

Researchers from the School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews (UK) are using a DrySyn Spiral Evaporator to help synthesize novel reactive colloidal nanoparticles that present an exciting tool to create a new generation of 'smart' nanomaterials. The post Colloidal Nanoparticles Advance Frontiers of Synthetic Chemistry appeared first on Asynt .

See just how CondenSyn could save your lab from flooding in this great new video from our friends at John Morris (Australia). The post How to remove water from synthetic chemistry appeared first on Asynt .

Asynt announces their exciting new flow-chemistry platform, the fReactor, an affordable device created to bring the many advantages of flow chemistry to your laboratory through easy-to-use, flexible and intuitive design. The post Entry Level Flow Reactors for Synthetic Development appeared first on Asynt .

Research Summary We study molecular structure and reactivity. Our goal is to bring new reactions into the arena of synthetic organic chemistry and to develop superior synthetic strategies. For each reaction a mechanistic framework is established. The transformation is then developed into a preparative method and applied to specific targets, such as to the synthesis of molecules that pose practica…

Research Summary My research interests are in synthetic organic chemistry, including the development of new synthetic methods and the synthesis of natural products. Over the last 45 (https://research.rutgers.edu/news/rutgers-chemist-named-2022-american-chemical-society-fellow) years we have developed methods for the stereoselective functionalization of alkenes, the construction of a variety of ni…

Literature in synthetic chemistry is full of reactions that do occur but very little or no attention is payed to those that do not proceed. The question here is what can we learn from reactions that are not taking place even when our chemical intuition tells us they’re feasible? Is there valuable knowledge that can […]

Recent advancements in reaction control and method development strategies have significantly impacted the way in which synthetic chemistry is performed. Arguably, one of the most widely amenable and enabling technologies is continuous flow chemistry, which can offer advantages over batch in terms of cost, reaction efficiency and safety. Its implementation is changing the way in […]

Distinguished Professor Gary Keck is retiring at the end of this year. Here at the Department of Chemistry, we can’t overstate our admiration for Gary and his impact on the department and the field of synthetic chemistry. Gary’s personal contributions to synthetic chemistry are among the top in his field. He shares with Nobel Laureate […]

Research Spotlight: Professor Janis Louie Professor Janis Louie creates new catalysts based on earth abundant metals such as iron and nickel for use in synthetic chemistry. Professor Janis Louie always knew that research was for her, before she knew what a career in research even meant. “I had some idealistic notion that research and development […]

University of Utah alumna and Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Jaqueline L. Kiplinger has been selected as the 2015 recipient of the F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry, sponsored by the F. Albert Cotton Endowment Fund. Kiplinger earned her doctorate in organometallic fluorocarbon chemistry from the University of Utah with Professor Tom Richmond […]
