We have a new paper out in J. Chem. Educ.! Renu and Jackson developed an experiment for second-year organic chemistry teaching labs that uses NMR spectroscopy to probe the aggregation of caffeine in water.

Daniel Ryu joins group
Welcome to Daniel Ryu, who has joined the group as an undergraduate researcher!
Welcome to Jacob Smith
Welcome to Jacob Smith, who has joined the group as an NSF REU student! Jacob comes to us from Western Carolina University.
New publication in ChemSystemsChem
We have a new paper out in ChemSystemsChem! In it, Chamoni reviews the uses of chemical fuel reactions in polymer materials, showing how they can effect transient changes in properties.
Afsana Chowdhury and Maliha Chowdhury join group
A big welcome to Afsana Chowdhury and Maliha Chowdhury who have joined the group as graduate students!
New publication in Chem. Commun.
We have a new paper out in Chem. Commun.! In this work, Will, Georgia, Nirob, and Chamoni show that pyridines reversibly form adducts with carbodiimides, lowering their effective concentrations in solution. This allows the activation rates and lifetimes of carbodiimide-driven systems to be controlled.
Sujin Waikhom and Henry Oliver join group
Welcome to Sujin Waikhom and Henry Oliver, who have joined the group as undergraduate researchers!
Belated welcome to Olivia Freeman and Max Kovall
We forgot to post Olivia and Max when they joined the group last spring as undergraduate researchers. Welcome!
Will graduates
Happy trails to Will Salvia, who successfully defended his M.S. thesis! Will is off to Northwestern to do his Ph.D.
New publication in Angew. Chem.
We have another new paper out in Angew. Chemie.! In this one, Nirob and Will report on the formation of transient covalent polymers using carbodiimide-driven anhydride formation. These systems are intended to complement the many examples of out-of-equilibrium supramolecular polymers, by offering different characterization methods and control over assembly kinetics.
