Cyclohexane conformers - Visualize Organic Chemistry Cyclohexane is the prototypical example of a cyclic organic molecule taking on interchanging conformations. In cyclohexane, the lowest-energy conformer is called chair (perhaps due to its faint resemb...

Visualize Organic Chemistry update! We now have a page on cyclohexane conformations and the chair flipping process: visualizeorgchem.com/animations/c.... For those of you teaching organic chemistry this Fall, I'm sure your students would love to see our animations.

Leveraging thiocarbonyls for the rapid release of COS/H2S from photocaged thionocarbamates The controlled generation and delivery of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a critical biomolecule involved in various physiological and therapeutic processes, remain significant challenges, driving the need fo...

Newest preprint from my group on ChemRxiv: doi.org/10.26434/che.... If you're interested in fast photoactivated COS/H2S donors, and about learning what makes them fast, check it out! #ChemSky

Does anyone know of a good electrical physics primer for organic chemistry students who are about to learn mass spectrometry and NMR but that have yet to take the full physics course? Think ions bending in a magnetic field, magnetic shielding from electrons, etc.

Stereospecific SN2 example - Visualize Organic Chemistry One important feature of SN2 reactions is that they are stereospecific, meaning that when the substitution happens on a stereocenter, only one stereoisomer of the product is formed for every stereoiso...

Update alert for Visualize Organic Chemistry! We've added an example of stereospecific SN2 reactions, which can also serve as an exercise on stereochemistry (visualizeorgchem.com/animations/s...) and SN1 reactions. If you teach Organic, your students will love these and our other animations!

Am I the only one feeling like I need external feedback on my manuscripts before I'm confident about them?

It's pretty sad to have to rebuild my little network of cool chemistry people here... I hope the community will transition and join us!
