Another new paper from the group in #JOrgChem! In this work, Govinda and Will study the effect that terminal amides have on the conformations of o-phenylene #foldamers. It was a challenging project, but their hard work yielded a remarkably detailed picture of how subtle structural changes affect molecular #folding.

Latest #publication from the group! In this paper, Suma, Juliana, and Gopi show that the twist sense of helical ortho-phenylene #foldamers can be controlled by including chiral phthalimides in their centers. This only works if substituents that can interact with the chiral group are included farther up the oligomer.

Here's my #introduction: I'm a professor of physical organic chemistry at #MiamiUniversity. For those of you outside the US, this is the one in Ohio.

Research in my group focuses primarily on #foldamers and non-equilibrium chemical systems.

Since this is shameless self promotion, I also have a very cute dog. This is her many years ago when she was a puppy.
