Our recent publication in inorganic chemistry was selected as a supplemental cover of the journal. Congratulations to John and Jennifer!

Tahsini named 2024 President’s Fellows Faculty Research Award recipient

John Raincrow won a poster award at the Great Plain Catalysis Society (GPCS) meeting at KU this summer!

Dr. Tahsini receives a grant from the health program of Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST). Our group will be designing and investigating the efficient copper-based catalysts for the building block synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products through carboxylation and decarboxylative coupling. 

Dr. Tahsini receives funding from the OSU's Research Jumpstart/Accelerator Grants (RJAG) program. We thank the VPR office for their support of our research on CO2 reduction by molecular Cu catalysts.

Dr. Tahsini receives an American Chemical Society (ACS) Petroleum Research Fund (PRF) grant. We are excited to have the support of PRF donors through this ND grant to start a new chapter of our research on Ni- and Cu-phosphine chemistry. 

Congratulations and good luck with your educational plans Jennifer.

Congratulations to Jennifer for the new publication at Dalton Transaction!

Jennifer and Rachel published their paper in Frontiers in Chemistry on C−X (X = N, O) Cross-Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Copper-Pincer Bis(N-Heterocyclic Carbene) Complexes.

Dr. Tahsini presented the recent work of the group on copper-based luminophores at GRC Organometallic in Salve Regina University, Newport, RI.

Kwame and Shepard published their paper in RSC Advances on Synthesis, characterization, and photoluminescent studies of three-coordinate Cu(I)–NHC complexes bearing unsymmetrically-substituted dipyridylamine ligands.

The group withhold a workshop for grandparent university program in June 2019.

Jennifer won the first-place poster award in the 64th ACS Pentasectional Meeting, 2019 in Norman, OK.

The group presented their work in the Missouri Inorganic Day (MOID) 2019 at Washington University.

Dr. Tahsini’s poster titled “Electronic and Structural Modification of Pincer-Based Bis(N-Heterocyclic Carbene) Copper Complexes:

The group withhold a workshop for grandparent university program in June 2019.

Doaa published a paper in the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry on Sonogashira-type cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by copper complexes of pincer N-heterocyclic carbenes.

Doaa won the first-place poster award in the ACS Pentasectional Meeting, 2017 in Cameron University, Lawton, OK.

Congratulations to Doaa and Sydney!
