1 Sept, 10 - Welcome new graduate students Sam and Ian, and undergraduate student Rob!
15 June, 10 - Lawrence's departure to U of A. Congratulations on joining Dr. Buriak's group!
1 May, 10 - Welcome summer students: Derek, Shaan and Janet!
20 April, 10 - Lawrence's graduate colloquium seminar. The title of his talk was "Exploring the Reaction Mechanisms of Group 14 Carbene and Alkene Analogoues".
14 April, 10 - Congratulations Margaret on being accepted to Dr. Shimizu's research group in the U of Calgary and abandoning Willie's group!
5 Jan, 10 - Willie was presented with the 2010 Inter-American Photochemical Society Award in Photochemistry at the 20th I-APS Winter Conference in St. Pete Beach, FL. His award talk was entitled "Group 14 Reactive Intermediates. Photochemical Methods for the Study of Silylenes, Germylenes, and Stannylenes - the Heavy Cousins of Singlet Carbenes".
2 Dec, 09 - Lana's graduate colloquium seminar. The title of her talk was "Silicon-Chalcogen Double-Bonded Intermediates - Silanones and Silanethiones".
16 Nov, 09 - Lawrence and Margaret won two of three awards for Best Poster at the 37th Physical-Organic Minisymposium (POMS) in Buffalo NY! Lawrence's poster was entitled "(1+2)- and (1+4)-Cycloadditions of Heavy Carbenes to 1,3-Dienes", while Margaret's was entitled "Reactions of Transient Silylenes with Alkenes". They competed against 45 other poster presentations given by postdoctoral fellows and graduate and undergraduate students from universities throughout Ontario, Quebec, and the northern US.
15 Nov, 09 - Lana presented a stellar oral presentation at the 37th Physical-Organic Minisymposium (POMS) in Buffalo, NY! Her presentation was entitled "The Reactions of Transient Silylenes with Oxiranes and Thiiranes - a Mechanistic Study."
8 Nov, 09 - Lana's first paper (Adroha's 2nd; Andrey's 5th) - "A Fast Kinetics Study of the Reactions of Transient Silylenes with Alcohols. Direct Detection of Silylene-Alcohol Complexes in Solution" - was submitted to Organometallics.
4 Nov, 09 - Lawrence's 10th paper - "Kinetic and Mechanistic Studies of the Formal (1+2)- and (1+4)-Cycloadditions of Germylenes to Conjugated Dienes." - was accepted for publication in Organometallics.
