We have a new paper out in J. Org. Chem.! In this work, Suma, Molly, and Gopi describe the behavior of a short o-phenylene with crown ethers appended to its ends. Suitable diammonium guests cause the oligomer to misfold.

Welcome to Dr. Nirob Saha, who has joined the group as a postdoctoral researcher! Nirob comes to us from Auburn University where he worked in the Merner group.

Welcome to Yinhui Liao, who has joined the group as a graduate student! Yinhui comes to us from Peking University.

Welcome to Corvo Tran and Jake Franklin, who have joined the group as undergraduate researchers!

We have a new paper out in J. Org. Chem.! Isuru, Maddy, and Georgia examine structure–property effects on the carbodiimide-induced clamping of diphenic acids, important results as we look to incorporate these into more-complex systems.

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher, who will work in both our group and the Konkolewicz group on nonequilibrium (“chemically fueled”) systems. Please apply through the Miami job posting.

Happy trails to Mohammad (Mosharraf) Hossain, who has completed his time with us as a postdoc. Mosharraf is moving on to the Wenthur group at the University of Wisconsin.

Happy trails to Viraj and Isuru, who have both successfully defended their Ph.D. dissertations! Viraj is heading to Northwestern, where he will be a postdoc with Julia Kalow, and Isuru is heading to Scripps Florida, where he will be a postdoc with Thomas Kodadek.

Welcome to Grace Olive, who has joined the group for the summer as an NSF REU student. Grace comes to us from Earlham College.
