We are pleased to share that UNC Chemistry has been selected to join the ACS Bridge Program to support underrepresented students seeking doctoral degrees.

This year, trustees honor two UNC Chemistry alumni with prestigious Davie Awards.

Dr. Candice Crilly, formerly a Ph.D student in Dr. Gary Pielak's lab, has been awarded The Gordon Hammes Scholar Award.

In an effort to rescue these “orphaned” cyclopropanes, Wilkerson-Hill and co-workers devised a stepwise addition/1,3-elimination process involving sterically encumbered dialkylmethine-substituted tert-butyl sulfones and styrenes.

Here, we report three separate ligand-based reaction mechanisms between oleate-capped PbS NCs and the exchange thiol ligand, undec-10-ene-1-thiol (UDT), and unveil how these three pathways are intertwined.

In this work, we present a strategy to implement the NEO method for periodic electronic structure calculations, particularly focused on multicomponent density functional theory (DFT).

Two glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biopolymers, hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS), were chemically modified via carbodiimide chemistry to facilitate the loading and release of nitric oxide (NO) to develop a multi-action wound healing agent.
