@HallBoronLab
@HallBoronLab looks forward to welcoming the 2024 cohort of grad students at @ualbertachem! In case we don't see you at our recruitment weekend, here is a virtual tour of our lab and team! @UAlberta @ualbertaScience @UofAResearch @UAlbertaFGSR @UofAWIC
Excited to announce our latest work in @angew_chem, a "step in the light direction" with a novel boronic ester, xanthopinacol boronate (Bxpin), that is both photochemically assembled and removed! @MartinCLessard #UAlberta #Chemistry onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Xanthopinacol Boronate: A Robust, Photochemically Assembled and Cleavable Boronic Ester for Orthogonal Chemistry (@angew_chem): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… @HallBoronLab).
We are welcoming Catherine to our team for 6 weeks as a Women in Scholarship, Engineering, Science, and Technology (WISEST) SRP student! Catherine will examine electronic effects of alkenylboronates. @ualbertachem @WISESTualberta #UAlberta #Chemistry
