New paper in J. Chem. Educ.
Our latest paper is out in J. Chem. Educ.! In collaboration with the Yezierski group, we have developed an undergraduate teaching lab on the self-assembly of macrocycles under thermodynamic control. The lab combined elements of experimental and computational chemistry to probe the importance of strain in these systems.

New paper in Chem. Commun.
Our latest paper is out in Chem. Commun.! In collaboration with the Konkolewicz Group, we show that transient crosslinked polymer materials can be generated using carbodiimide-fueled carboxylic acid coupling.
Govinda Devkota joins group
Welcome to Govinda Devkota, who has joined the group as a new graduate student!
Congratulations, Lasith!
Congrats to Lasith, who was recognized for his JACS paper with an award from Miami’s Graduate Student Achievement Fund!
New paper in Chem. Sci.
Our latest paper is out in Chemical Science! We demonstrate twist-sense control in o-phenylenes by attaching various chiral imines. Close examination of structure–property effects gives a very detailed mechanism for this process.
