Happy to share our latest work out now in @NatureChemistry. We show the cross coupling of alkyl carboxylic acids and boronic acids. Congrats to Jessica, @ortho_maxb, and the team! @NUChemistry Link: nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

I’m excited to share our latest paper out now in @J_A_C_S. Mechanistic studies on alternating polarity AP electrolysis in generation of Ary/Alkyl radicals from organoboron (and carboxylic acids). We show that potential mapping (based on current and frequency) can predict & optimize radical generation and understand challenges (unwanted oxidation, passivation). Congrats to Jake and team #organoboron! lnkd.in/gwJxQVqa

We are happy to share our latest work now out in @NatureSynthesis. Via electrochemical oxidation of amine (DABCO) to N-radical dication, we show that selective aromatic C-H amination can be achieved, including previously challenging arenes. Congrats to Griffin, @evamariawara, Chris, and collaborators Jonathan, @kalowlab @MalapitLab nature.com/articles/s44160-0…

We’re very excited to share our latest work on electrochemical coupling of olefins and CO2 in @angew_chem. Alternating polarity improves selectivity and tuned the mechanism unique to other electrochemical olefin functionalization reactions. Congratulations, Stella! ⚡️ @synthesisstel onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Thrilled to share my work out now in @angew_chem! We demonstrate the power of alternating polarity in electrochemical olefin hydrocarboxylation, highlighting its role in hindering electrode passivation and promoting an ECC mechanism. Check it out!

With simple molecular tweaking, researchers have converted a common chemical waste product, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), into an electrolyte material suitable for use in batteries connected to the power grid. cen.acs.org/energy/energy-st… .

Finally, a radical–radical cross-coupling! After 180 years of generating C-radicals from carboxylic acids, we can now couple them with radicals from organoboron reagents. In our first @ChemRxiv we introduce redox matched electrolysis to discover a “carboxylic acid–organoboron coupling reaction” chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
