Need some more nitrogen in your life? Check out my latest paper on some fascinating nitrogen-rich iridacycles! Many thanks to co-authors @kingak333 @FuShengWang0138, and ofcourse @Alex_Zhuko!
Excited to share this discovery by @DrakeChem and team in the @ZhukoGroup of "IrN5" rings! Also, my personal first @Orgmet_ACS paper! Crucial help from @kingak333 and @FuShengWang0318! @uncchemistry

A good day! Check it out for quite a unique metathesis mechanism and some versatile polycarbodiimides - thanks to everyone who helped us out along the way!
Big congrats to @DrakeChem, team @ZhukoGroup, and Sheiko group collaborators @uncchemistry on the publication of our @ACSCentSci paper on carbodiimide ring-opening metathesis polymerization to access nitrogen-rich polymer backbones!
