The primary challenge for synthetic chemists is supporting the efficient exploration of chemical space to find the best molecules for understanding or solving problems. In the past decade, cross-electrophile coupling, the union of two different electrophiles through transition-metal catalysis under reducing conditions, has become an increasingly used tool in these ...
Photonic structures offer the ability to fundamentally alter how light interacts with matter. I will tell several stories of how these abilities can be leveraged for new ways to perform measurements on single molecules. In one story, I will show how the increased light-molecule interactions in high-finesse fiber Fabry-Pérot microcavities ...
