Many congrats to Emily, Natasha, and Tasneem for successfully defending their Senior Honors Theses! All three are heading off to graduate programs in the fall — best of luck, the lab will miss you!

New paper online at Inorg. Chem., led by Tasneem and Emily, exploring some unusual visible light photochemistry at silver complexes. Special thanks to our collaborators in the Gudmundsdottir lab at U. Cincinnati!

The group welcomes Dr. Fei Bu as a postdoctoral associate. Fei completed his PhD at UC Riverside with Prof. Pingyun Feng.

The group bids a fond farewell to graduating seniors Hanna and Irene, and welcomes new group member Natasha!

The group takes a trip to the Spring ACS National Meeting in Orlando, FL. Great job to Choi, Hanna, and Irene on your presentations!

Welcome to Ana, our newest group member!

A new paper by Niu and Hanna has been published, on some unexpected coordination chemistry from silver(I)!

Congrats to recent graduate Choi Mak, who has won the 2018 Award for Undergraduate Research from the American Chemical Society Division of Inorganic Chemistry!

Congratulations to Choi for successfully defending her Senior Thesis!

Mike and Choi traveled to the ACS National Meeting in New Orleans to enjoy a few days of great science (along with some nice weather and cajun food)!

Choi presented a poster on her work with the redox chemistry of dinuclear silver complexes, and Mike gave a talk in honor of his old boss Mircea Dincă, who won the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry.
