Chemistry Department News
Below are some selected news stories that highlight some of the research and programs in the University of Oregon Chemistry Department.
Congratulations to Chemistry Department Professor David Tyler who was named as the first recipient of the Charles J. and M. Monteith Jacobs Professorship in Chemistry in a ceremony late this afternoon.
In June 2008, University of Oregon chemist Shih-Yuan Liu reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society his lab's synthesis of boron-nitrogen compounds with electronic and structural similarities to fundamentally important benzene molecules. That synthesis suggested a new tool for possible use in biomedical research as well as in materials science.
