Everyone knows I love aromatic compounds... but what about *metallaaromatic* ones?!

In a cool exp/comp collaboration with
the de Ruiter Group, we find new cobalt macrocycles and show that they are metallaromatic thanks to metal-ligand coordination!

How local is β€œlocal”? Deep learning reveals locality of the induced magnetic field of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons We investigate the locality of magnetic response in polycyclic aromatic molecules using a novel deep-learning approach. Our method employs graph neural networks

Are polycyclic aromatics really "delocalized"? πŸ€”

We used deep learning to answer the question "How local is β€œlocal”?" and revealed locality of the induced magnetic field.

Congrats to our two amazing undergrads, Yair and Aviad, and to our awesome postdoc, Sabyasachi!

BN-doped polybenzenoids are a very promising direction for new functional aromatic systems...
But can we predict how BN pairs affect properties?

YES, WE CAN! And guess what!? Turns out it has to do with aromaticity...

New cover alert!!

Check out our gorgeous new cover on #JACS_Au, courtesy of the talented Roi Poranne 😍

With the de Ruiter group, we report on reversible 1,2-methyl migration in PCNHCP Cobalt(I) Complexes

Four requests to review in the past week. Is there some disturbance in the force I am not aware of? 🧐

Can you please add me? We make datasets for polycyclic atomatic molecules, as well as interpretable and generative models to study and design them ☺️

Effects of benzoheterocyclic annelation on the s-indacene core: a computational analysis Aromaticity and antiaromaticity are pivotal concepts in chemistry, with significant implications for molecular properties and reactivity. In particular, thanks to their increased conductivity and smal...

Super excited that my first post on bsky is to share our latest work!

Gabby Warren and Kasia Pienko elucidate the effects of benzoheterocyclic annelation on the s-indacene core.

Such a fun collaborative effort with the Haley and Wu labs 😍

Now in ChemicalScience😁
