Excellent day! The second paper @angew_chem is now online. The liquid substance FSO2OSF5 is an ideal synthone for releasing SOF4, SO2F2 and OSF5–. This helps for SuFEx reactivity like -SO2F or -N=S(O)F2. Great work @AMillanvois and team. @fluor_crc1349 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We are happy to report about a new series of fluorinated molecules in @angew_chem. We prepared side-on coordinated hypofluorites like FM(η2-OF) (M = Mg-Ba). Great work by Xia and team and thanks for support @fluor_crc1349. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Today the Long Night of Research takes place #lndw. At 22.30 h our experimental chemistry lecture takes place 😉 FU Berlin, Fabeckstrasse 34/36, 14195 Berlin Stay tuned !!!

Very happy to part of the Einstein Podcast #AskDifferent of the Einstein Foundation. If you are interested about sustainable halogen chemistry here it is 😉 einsteinfoundation.de/podcast/podcas…
It just startet. Looking forward to a nice @AvHStiftung meeting 😉

Again excellent news!!! Our paper about the synthesis of new halonium ions has been published in @ChemicalScience. We also synthesized a very reactive species which is able to activate isobutane. Excellent work of Lukas and team😉pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Just out in @JACS_Au. Our new Aluminum-Based Lewis Superacid using a more bulky ligand -OTeF3PhF2. The corresponding WCA also exist, but with one OTeF5 group which leads to an asymmetric WCA. Great work of Daniel and team 😉 Have a look: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Great collaboration indeed on reactive ionic liquids as a new synthone for synthesising vinyl chloride! Looking forward to the next big steps! 😉
Fantastic collaboration with @RiedelLab, Martin Kaupp & teams on vinyl chloride production in bichloride-based ionic liquids published in Advanced Science @AdvPortfolio @NCCR_Catalysis 👇 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Trapped in frozen neon, a five-fluorine ion revealed a surprise. Its central atom tunnels between states, defying the long-held fluoro wall. bit.ly/3TasDvo
Many thanks to @ChemistryWorld for highlighting our work on HEAVY ATOM TUNNELING of FLUORINE!!! Great result of @fluor_crc1349 and colleagues. We look forward to the next big step in fluorine specific interactions 😉
Quantum tunnelling may be common at the tiniest scales, but no one had ever observed the phenomenon in fluorine – the element was simply thought to be too heavy. Now, this accepted wisdom has been upended in new experiments that observe fluorine tunnelling chemistryworld.com/news/fluorine-…
🌟 Exciting news! Welcoming Professor Sebastian Hasenstab-Riedel to present at our Technology Conference & Exhibition in Barcelona. Don't miss his insights into new chlorine storage & transportation options #eurochlor2025. Register today! eurochlor2025.org @RiedelLab
Thanks for highlighting the long-running investigation of the heavy atom tunneling of fluorine! The so far heaviest atom tunneling 😉 Great outcome of @fluor_crc1349
Sebastian Hasenstab-Riedel, Carsten Müller (FU Berlin), and colleagues spent over a decade studying the [F₅]⁻ anion in a cryogenic neon matrix; here, they discuss their findings and contributions to molecular chemistry chemistryviews.org/fluorine-tunne…
#ChemSusChem Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk? (Sebastian Riedel and co-workers) • onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cs…
It is great to see that our review together with the Federal Environment Agency (@Umweltbundesamt) on "Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk?" has now been published in ChemSusChem. Great collaboration!!! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cs…
We are absolutely thrilled that our long-term project (exp. and theory) on the heavy-atom tunnelling of fluorine has just been published @NatureComms! It is now the heaviest tunnelling-determining atom involved in QMT known to date. Great team @fluor_crc1349 and JC Tremblay. 😉

Come and join in one hour!
Save the date: come and join the first Global Inorganic Virtual Seminar with @TheBartLab and @harder_research! riceuniversity.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
