Congratulations to Manisha on the publication of her fourth first-author research article! Her latest paper, “Oxidative C–N Coupling of Azoles with Cycloheptatriene Using an Oxoammonium Salt Bearing the Nitrate Anion,” showcases the development of a new oxoammonium salt-mediated methodology for C–N bond formation between azoles and cycloheptatriene. This publication marks another significant milestone in Manisha’s research career and reflects her continued dedication to advancing sustainable synthetic methods. We are proud of this outstanding achievement and look forward to seeing the impact of her work. Congratulations, Manisha!
