This is what happens when it's time for the undergrads to present and no-one coordinates whose job it is to pick up group meeting supplies
or;
Why our group meetings are pretty awesome!

This weekend is the Sunriver Organometallic Symposium, a great weekend filled with both chemistry and snow sports! A good chance
to discuss some interesting science and have some fun in the snow in eastern oregon.

Angewandte Chemie is having its
125th birthday celebration in Berlin in March 2013. Out of the thousands upon thousands of journal covers,
ours from 2002 was one of six that they chose to turn into a set of beer coasters which they will give to all attendees of the party.
How awesome is that?!?!

Two of our lab members, Aaron Fix and Brad Rose, recently attended the 2012 Fall MRS conference, and presented their indenofluorene research there.
The Haley lab is currently interested in the application of conjugated organic molecules toward various avenues:
Formally anti-aromatic, fully conjugated indenofluorene scaffolds are being explored as potential materials for organic electronics due to their ability to easily
and reversibly accept electrons, in addition to fundamental exploration of these closed-shell antiaromatic moieties.
Conjugated aryl-ethynyl systems are being investigated for use in the sensing of various biologically/environmentally relevant phenomena, utilizing the inherent
fluorescence of such systems to selectively sense or detect the presence of certain anions or potential gradients. This project is part of a collaboration with Darren
Johnson.
The synthetic expertise of the Haley lab is being applied toward the synthesis and SAR studies of a family of compounds related to the known pharmaceutical compound,
pentamidine, for treatment and study of myotonic dystrophy. The assay work is performed by another lab within the Institute of Molecular Biology here at the University of
Oregon, as a collaboration with Andy Berglund.
