Group trip 2025: Totaled at Tempelhof 🔥 We wrecked a car, then recharged with beers & laughs at Tempelhofer Feld. An epic day of mayhem & good vibes to kick off summer with the best crew.
Exciting news to end the year! 🎉 Soti's first paper is out in Dalton Transactions! We show how a Ta(V) (d⁰!) aniline complex undergoes two-fold PCET, mediated by a redox-non-innocent pincer ligand. 🔗 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art… @HumboldtChem | Funded by: @chemieverband
This work is now out in @ChemEurJ! Congrats @taminazk! Together with a previous study on geometric variations, we hope a fuller picture emerges of main group pincer ligand coordination. @DalhousieChem Geometrics: bit.ly/pincergeometri… Steric/Electronics: bit.ly/steroelectroni…
📰Check out our latest work examining how the steric profile and Lewis acidity of pnictogen pincer complexes varies across 16 different ligand classes and 4 central elements. Work by Tamina (@taminazk) and Tyler (@THannah77) @DalhousieChem . 10.26434/chemrxiv-2024-2dp52
PhD POSITION OPEN!! We are looking for someone enthusiastic to join our team! If you want to work in the frontier between noble gas chemistry and organometallic fluorine chemistry, this is for you! #TeamXenon More info here: haushalt-und-personal.hu-berlin.de/de/personal/st… RT appreciated
Pleased to share our chapter in @SpringerNature book "Structure & Bonding" on "Geometrically Constrained Bismuth Compounds". This was co-written with recent MSc grad Tamina Kirsch. Many thanks to reviewers + ed. @LabLichtenberg for valuable feedback! link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
🚨PDRA position available Applications for a 2 yr postdoc working on "TM-like" main group chemistry now formally open, deadline April 29th. Full details in the link below, & happy to answer any questions. Please share with anyone who might be interested! bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.a…
🎉 Soti won 1st Prize for our group! 🏆👏 Soti received the award for Best Oral Presentation at the Jahrestagung - AG Phosphorchemie in Braunschweig this year. Huge congratulations! 🎊 @GDCh_aktuell #NewPI
Just over one week remains to apply for a PDRA position in our group at Oxford focused on computational and experimental approaches to mechanism in iron catalysis for C-C and C-heteroatom bond forming reactions. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…
An exciting day in Berlin! At the regional FCI Scholar Meeting, researchers shared their work & connected—covering topics from theoretical, inorganic & organic chemistry to biochemistry, all in perfect weather! ☀️ Thanks to @CSMB for the venue & @chemieverband for the support!
If, like us, you need to make grams of phosphine for your ligands - check out our latest paper (@ACSPublications) on solvent-free high-yielding methods to do so! This has single-handedly transformed my ligands synthesis! 🌟 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Looking for an overview of d-block and coordination chemistry highlights from 2024? 🧪 Check the Trendbericht from @GHierlmeier and myself in this month's issue of the @GDCh_aktuell's Nachrichten aus der Chemie 👇 Great fun putting this together! 😃 tinyurl.com/yvf4u4fb
Dive into the latest trends in main group chemistry! 👨🔬✨ Frank Tambornino and I put together an overview of some 2024 highlights in Nachrichten aus der Chemie (@GDCh_aktuell). 🔗 tinyurl.com/5f3bk87k
Excited to share our first paper of 2025 in @Orgmet_ACS! 🥳 We showcase the reactivity of a geometrically constrained phosphine ligand in small molecule activation reactions. Great work by Soti! Check it out here: 🔗pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Funded by @chemieverband
We’re now live on bsky: @joshabbenseth.bsky.social For now, we'll mirror content here, but this account may go dark later this year. Come join the fun—see you on the other side!
Just out 😊: @SiadWolff has accomplished the design of a molecule with a Ni-CO2-Fe entity, resembling the one in the enzyme CODH, giving us a clue why nature may have used iron here. Thanks a lot also to all other contributors!! @angew_chem @UniSysCat onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
Highly recommended! olie is a great and enthusiastic scientist who will also be a great mentor
Advertising a fully funded PhD position (@chemieverband) in my research group at @KITKarlsruhe, please get in touch if you are interested!
If you are a motivated master's student and looking for a PhD position in inorganic chemistry reach out to us! There is currently a possibility to start with me at the university of Kassel. Reposts are highly appreciated! #NewPI #Chemistry
Kicked off this year's #MentalHealthDay with our first group trip! 🎃 Embracing Spooktober vibes at a Tim Burton exhibition, followed by a tasty Turkish BBQ feast. 🍖🖤 An awesome day with an even more awesome team. 🙌 Fingers crossed our next paper reviews aren't as scary!
