Assistant professor of chemistry @uidaho. The excited leader of @ThompsonUIdaho! Lover of metal-ligand bonds big and small.
Really excited to share this work! Phosphorous is the new cool atom! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Does anyone have a good reference for using the magnitude of 1H-31P 1J coupling constants for making structural assignments?
Is anybody else’s “for you” page a lot more rightwing than normal today?
University of Idaho achieves Carnegie R1 Classification. #uidaho is the first and only Idaho university to join the top #research institutions in the U.S. 🏆🥇
Excited to share our latest work in JACS @JACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…. @schneider_lab We report the Wolff rearrangement of a metalated diazoester and confirm the crystal structure of transient carbonylcarbene by photocrystallography.

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…

We are recruiting a postdoc with a skillset in molecular inorganic synthesis to investigate the formation and reactivity of iron cyanide complexes under prebiotic and astrochemical conditions. See 👇 for details! #chempostdoc #chemjobs stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersection/…
Chemtwitter: I am putting together exam questions using spectroscopy to assign structure to organometallic compounds. Does anyone have a molecule they made during their academic career that was really fun to assign because of it's spectroscopy? Weird NMR coupling, IR, etc? DM me!

Congrats to my former mentee, Dr. @TanhaRiman!
Congratulations to #LSUChemistry graduate student @TanhaRiman for successfully defending her #PhD dissertation. Sajila conducted research under the guidance of Associate Professor @Semin_Lee.
Dear Chemtwitter, the balance in our glovebox has really bad and constant drift. I've tried re-leveling to get the bubble centered, hitting it (and the vial) with the static gun and even shut off sources of vibration like the antechamber pump and circulation. Any ideas/solutions?
Congrats to @SearlesGroupUFL for their most recent paper! Also, I am embarrassed to say that we hosted Prof. Searles last month and I have exactly 0 pictures to show for it 😅 but he gave a terrific talk! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
