Synthesis of β-Phenethylamines via Ni/Photoredox Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aliphatic Aziridines and Aryl Iodides
Talia, Junyi, and Mani’s work on developing a new Ni/Photoredox methodology to synthesize pharmaceutically relevant β-Phenethylamines was recently accepted and published in JACS! Great work!
Triplet d-d Excited States of Ni(II) Complexes Relevant to Photoredox Catalysis
Congrats to Stephen on recently publishing a study on how Ni(II) intermediates proposed in photocatalytic cycles can interact with light and lead to Ni-C bond homolysis. This spectroscopic and organometallic mechanistic work in collaboration with the Scholes and Castellano labs is
