Are you interested in mechanochemistry and porous materials? Maybe solid form screening and control? Or perhaps periodic DFT? 🙋‍♀️ For all that and more, read our brand new open access paper in JACS: 🥳 (details below) pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Oooohhhh….! Future chemists 🧑‍🔬 👩‍🔬 mixing up the potions and magic in atoms, hehehy… and Summer vibes at @SynCatLab 🧪 🧪🧪🧪🧪

Excited to share the project I worked on in Vienna — online on ChemRxiv! It’s been a great experience where I learned a lot about the complexity of sugar chemistry. Huge thanks to the team for making it possible! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… #mechanochemistry #sugar

As my time in Vienna comes to an end, I’m really happy to have worked with Lukas, a talented undergrad. A mentoring experience across languages and labs — proof that (mechano)chemistry speaks for itself! ⚙️🧪 #mechanochemistry

Il Prof. Luca Capaldo Università di Parma terrà il seminario: Novel Synthetic Approaches via Photocatalyzed Decarbonylative Hydrogen Atom Transfer. 1 luglio ore 11, Aula 2, blocco H, Cittadella Universitaria @DSCG_Unica

💥 Check out some decarbonylative strategies from the team! Today, we propose aliphatic aldehydes as #CO surrogates via photocatalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer! Now on #chemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… 👩🏻‍🔬@Lu_Raineri @MorlacciValerio @constantinAnaM #decarbonylation #HAT

New paper accepted in @ChemSusChem 📰 "A Telescoped Strategy for the Preparation of Five-Member Hetero- and Carbocycles via Hydrogen Transfer Atom" 🚨 If you're curious about the synthesis of pyrroles, thiophenes, and cyclopentenones, be sure to check⬇️ doi.org/10.1002/cssc.2…

Over the moon (literally 😂) to share that the first work I contributed in @SynCatLab, (with @PhotogreenLab) is now online on JacsAu @ACSPublications 🔥 Have a look and see how the longstanding limitations regarding the HAT processes cuold be overcome using this new approach 💡

Working on something #hot 🥵 with a nice view 😅 @Lu_Raineri @MorlacciValerio @SynCatLab #SaturdayStories #chemist

A lot of happy moments in our group! Stay tuned ! #team #celebrations

Check out the first paper of my postdoc stay abroad on a "Thermally accelerated Heck reaction under direct mechanocatalysis using palladium milling balls" just published in RSC Mechanochemistry 🔨⚙️🫨🫨 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Thrilled to share our newly accepted paper in AGW, where we redesign the borrowing hydrogen strategy under mech@nochemical conditions, a step forward in sustainable synthesis. Thanks to my guys. Stay tuned!

Great work! Very interesting
