Great seminar lecture by Jillian Dempsey from UNC Chapel Hill. A deep dive into ligand vs metal protonation kinetics. @uic-chemistry.bsky.social

Xin found a way to incorporate insoluble nanographene ligands into MOFs: she chlorinated the edges. Interesting photochemistry, too: charge separation is quite efficient! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

No, it’s not the @theonion.com , its a real bill by a congressional representative. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

NSF’s budget may drop from $9b to $3b. Similar cuts in other federal agencies are on the way. How are we going to fund our current PhD students? www.science.org/content/arti...

Uh, I really need to lay off the coffee!

🚨 Now in #JACS : The Ayitou lab at #UIC has reported the first aerobic photon upconversion using all-organic donor-acceptor chromophores, which can perform doublet-to-triplet energy transfer (DTET). Read it here: tinyurl.com/3ycxa4rf

Abstracts are due today for I-APS 2025! i-aps.org/meeting-regi... My co-organizer Kevin Stamplecoskie and I have organized an exciting program including a session on organic photochemistry!

Just started paying attention to the lyrics from Billie Holiday's songs. So sad: "Well, I'd rather my man would hit me Than for him to jump up and quit me Ain't nobody's business if I do."

The University of Illinois Chicago Chemistry Department is excited to join #chemsky!

MS degree in Chemistry is useful, especially if you are a woman. www.economist.com/internationa...
