Hohloch Lab
@HohlochL
Professor of Inorganic Chemistry Our research focuses on Carbenes, Phosphines, Early Transition metals, Lanthanides and much more...
Proud and thankful @NatureChem for inviting me to write a News & Views article on the beautiful praseodymium(V) complex published by @Storms_LaPierre (nature.com/articles/s4155…) Find our highlight "A high five for praseodymium" following this link nature.com/articles/s4155…
We are hiring a new PhD student. If you are interested in working with f-elements (lanthanides) and early transition metals and love living in the mountains, feel free to apply using the following link. lfuonline.uibk.ac.at/public/karrier…
Delighted to share Frank Tambornino and my review of the "Historical and Recent Developments in the Chemistry of Cyanate Congeners" @InorgChem giving a detailed overview of cyanate development including recent chemistry of [OCAs], [SCP], [SCAs]. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
![HohlochL's tweet card. The cyanate anion, [OCN]−, and its heavier congeners with the general formula [ChCPn]− (Ch = O–Te, and Pn = N–As) are fundamental in introductory chemistry textbooks, chemical laboratories worldwide,...](https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1948343222108901376/R8tamZs-?format=jpg&name=orig)
Anilidophosphines are great supporting ligands in Group IV chemistry as shown by @MindiolaGroup. But how well are they suited for Group III metals? Read about some unexpected drawbacks and diverging behaviour with Sc, Y and La. aces.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/as…
Congratulations to Benjamin Wittwer for defending his PhD last Friday. First PhD of our group from Innsbruck. You have done a great job and really pushed forward our lanthanide chemistry! We wish you all the best for your future at Thyssen-Krupp.
Heavy cyanate chemistry holds multiple adventures/surprises. Here, we report [3+2] cycloaddition reactions using the [SCP] or [SCAs] anions, regioselectively forming new diphosphole or diarsole heterocycles. Read more in our first preprint of 2025: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

It's well known that exchanging NHCs can have tremendous effects on catalyst activity/stability in late transition metal chemistry, but what about early transition metals? We are happy to share our latest insight to this question @InorgChemFront. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Very proud to share our latest article just published @DaltonTrans, opening a new field in the group: MIC and NHC complexes of molybdenum nitrides and their propensity to undergo nitrogen functionalisation reactions and electrochemical tunability. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Happy to share our latest results @InorgChem in anilidophosphine chemistry. Modular access to six new monoanionic PN ligands and their lanthanum complexes. Congratulations @WittwerBenjamin to this great work. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
Off for the Hirschegg Seminar in Kleinwalsertal. Looking forward to five days filled with science and hiking with @TamborninoLab @WernckeGunnar @haenisch_group @DehnenStefanie @TheWolf_Group , the Scheer group and the Radius group.
Great talk today by @TamborninoLab @uniinnsbruck Really great (and tiny) molecules, lots of exciting reactivities and some very cool crystal structures! Congrats to Frank and his team on these really great results and it was real fun to host you!
One week two Covers... Extremely proud, happy and thankful for the opportunity to promote our recent f-element chemistry @InorgChemFront (doi.org/10.1039/D4QI00…) and @ChemCommun (doi.org/10.1039/D4CC02…) as Front Covers on these excellent journals.
Thrilled to share our latest paper @InorgChemFront. Starting from a NMR tube accidentally left in sunlight, it took 6 years to figure out why and how a P-C bond is broken by light giving access to fluorenyl radicals and diphosphines. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Happy to announce the first bridging phosphinidene complex of lanthanum with a very bulky pn ligand published @ChemCommun. Furthermore, this paper marks the 100th paper on which our PI is listed as an author. Congratulations to everyone involved!! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
A fantastic opportunity for everyone who wants to pursue a postdoc in Europe. If you are interested in f-Elements, carbenes, phosphines or heavy cyanate chemistry, please contact us. We‘d be happy to host you! Bonus: you‘d have the chance to live in the middle of the alps ;-)
Heads up! The #MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 call opens in April. 🔍 Start your journey early by exploring potential host organisations now and gear up to craft the perfect proposal! 🌟 🎓🔬 More info and opportunities this way ➡️ europa.eu/!KJ8XY7
#KCT2024 @uniinnsbruck is over. We (@HohlochL, @DielmannGroup, H. Schwartz, G. Heymann) thank every participant and all sponsors for making this conference an incredible experience. We are looking forward to see you in 2025 @uni_muenster @MuellerChem
