Check out our recent foray on Molecular Design Considerations for Azobenzene Anolytes in ACS Omega. Congratulations to Ananya, Uddalak, Haley and others involved. Excellent contributions from Dr. Gurkan and Dr. Pentzer. @ACS_Omega pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
In our latest paper now live at @ACSCatalysis, we probe the role of a new Co-based MOF in aerobic oxidation catalysis, and highlight the importance of carrying out kinetic experiments to evaluate the origins of catalytic activity. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Thrilled to see such a familiar face. Congrats Dave! 🎉
Congrats to @TAMUChemistry's Dr. David Powers on being named a 2025 @TAMU EDGES Fellow! His work in chemical synthesis and solar energy storage is driving innovation in the lab and the classroom. #TAMU #Chemistry ⚛️ 🔗 tx.ag/ArtSci25Edges
Let's take a closer look at synthetic tractability using in crystallo photochemistry in our latest paper, now out in ACS Cent. Sci. (@ACSPublications). Nice job Aishanee! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🎉🧪 @TAMUChemistry seniors Ryan O’Shea and Saim Waheed have been awarded @NSF Graduate Research Fellowships! The prestigious award will support their research in quantum materials and green chemistry. #AggieResearch Read more: tx.ag/CHEM2025NSF
Congrats to Hao Tan! PhD #11 from the group. Hao has been an amazing mentor to multiple graduate students in the group and has pushed the boundaries of N-aminopyrdinium chemistry. We are very proud of him and wish him the best on his future endeavours.

Check out the cool story of aziridine group transfer via aziridinyl radical from our group in this Synthesis Workshop episode. Thanks to @MatthewHorwitz1 for the invitation. Another feather in your cap, @promita2992. 🥳
Tune in this week to hear from Dr. Promita Biswas about aziridine group transfer reactions! Thanks to Dr. Sourav Mondal for hosting and editing! Link: youtu.be/pfmyIT4Hnik @J_A_C_S 2024, 146, 30796-30801. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…
Check out our recent study on Proteome-Wide Covalent Targeting of Acidic Residues with Tunable N-Aryl Aziridines in @J_A_C_S. Congratulations to Hao and the Adibekian Group for this excellent team-up. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Check out our recent article in Synpacts titled 'Transient N-Aziridinyl Radicals in Olefin Functionalization' highlighting aziridine radical transfer to olefins from @J_A_C_S. thieme-connect.com/products/ejour… @thiemechemistry @synlett_journal Congratulations @promita2992 🥂

Star students and future JACS authors from Texas A&M @TAMU @TAMUChemistry @Powers_Lab @Francois_Gabbai @MichaudelLab
Such an exciting news! Wish you all the best @anuvab_chem for your role as Assistant Professor at NTU Singapore.
I’m thrilled to share that I have joined the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) at NTU Singapore as an Assistant Professor! dr.ntu.edu.sg/cris/rp/rp02617
As promised, part 2 is out today! Fantastic work from @schneider_lab, @Powers_Lab and lead author @MCNeben! Transient Triplet Metallopnictinidenes M–Pn (M = PdII, PtII; Pn = P, As, Sb): Characterization and Dimerization | pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Our latest work on P-P coupling with and without M-P intermediates is now live on @J_A_C_S ! Great work by Rick (@RichardRThomps1 ), Matt (@figgins_matthew), Duleeka (@wannipurage) and our amazing collaborators at the Gutierrez Group (@Gutierrez_Lab). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Happy to share the latest pre-print from the lab "Proteome-wide Covalent Targeting of Acidic Residues with Tunable N-Aryl Aziridines". Thanks to @AdibekianG and @Gutierrez_Lab for the stimulating and fun collaboration! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…
Congrats again to @Pritamroy66 (PhD #10), you are gonna kill it at UPenn!

Completely agree! Outstanding science and venue!
Thank you @kurtilaszlo for organizing another excellent WIPOS (Winter In-Person Organic Symposium) in Honolulu!
Cheers to Powers Group Christmas party 🎉 Slaying together with dashing memories 🥂 Can’t wait for the next edition.
