UKY Chemistry Alum, Darius A. Shariaty, 1st author. Shariaty, D. A.; Schaab, J.; McClure, E.; Nattikalungal, T.; Djurovich, P. I.; Bradforth, S. E.; Thompson, M. E., "Donor/Acceptor Ligands Based on an o-Terphenyl Motif to Achieve Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Zn(II) Complexes". Inorganic Chemistry 2025. Web Access

Donor/Acceptor Ligands Based on an o-Terphenyl Motif to Achieve Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Zn(II) Complexes The photophysical properties of six new luminescent tetrahedral Zn(II) complexes are presented that survey two electronic donor moieties (phenolate and carbazolate) and three electronic acceptors (pyridine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine). A unique ligand based on an o-terphenyl motif forms an eight-membe...

Wildcats earn 13 medals at Paris Olympics, set school record The University of Kentucky set a school record with 24 student-athletes, alumni and coaches in the Paris Olympics who represented nine countries across six sports in the Games. Eleven Wildcats won 13 medals — nine gold, two silver and two bronze.

People are doing chemistry with textiles without the 'chemistry of chromophores' but with great chemistry between people.

Art and horticulture merge to create natural dye garden at UK The intersection of art and science isn’t always obvious, but for a University of Kentucky art professor and a university horticulturalist, it was natural, and in more ways than one. The dye garden at The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky is what brought inspired their collaboration.

Ran into these two UKY Chemistry Alums here for the Chem Ed. Conference. Jennifer Collins 2009 currently at Ohio State University, and Ashlee Wrenne 2005 currently at the American Chemical Society. ❤️ We love to see our students still getting after it!!!
