TCD School of Chemistry
@TCD_Chemistry
School of Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin @tcdDublin. Ranked in top 100 worldwide & 1st in Ireland by QS. Athena SWAN Silver.
In advance of the release of my book, I wrote an article for @ChemistryWorld about the image of "mad scientists". Frankenstein (1931) gets blamed for starting the "mad scientist" image, but, it's a bit more complicated than that @RoySocChem @tcddublin chemistryworld.com/opinion/explor…
We got some nice photos from the @tcddublin Baker group who just finished a few days of beamtime at I20 in @DiamondLightSou measuring RIXS on uranium compounds. Thanks to everyone at diamond for helping!



Overwhelmed by the positive feedback I am receiving from our amazing YS and Nobel Laureates. It has being a honour and a privilege to shape and chair this wonderful meeting. This programme is indeed our baby @PernillaWittung 🥰💪#LINO25 @lindaunobel
I’m deeply honoured to receive the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Peter Day Prize 2025. This recognition is a tribute to the dedication, creativity, and hard work of my entire Nicolosi Group — past and present. Thank you @RoySocChem for this incredible honour! #RSC #PeterDayPrize
We are delighted to announce that the EURO MXene 2026 Conference will be held on 3–5 June 2026 at the historic Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Save the date and join us in Dublin for three days of inspiring talks, engaging discussions, and exciting networking opportunities.
Happy to see that @TCD_Chemistry moved up 9 points in the #chemistry QS @worlduniranking 2025 to 77th in the World 😀Great job by all our academics, technical and administrative staff and especially our postgraduate students and postdocs!!! #QSWUR @tcddublin
Very happy for @AlinaMeindl to see this now accepted in @angew_chem 🥳😀 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… Direct CO2 activation and conversion to Ethanol via reactive oxygen species! Great coop @TCD_Chemistry 🇮🇪 @ias_tum 🇩🇪 #UApplSciSalzburg 🇦🇹 funded by @Researchirel @TU_Muenchen
From Transylvania and Chernobyl to colourful glassware and narcotics, @TCD_Chemistry's @DrJohnODonoghue explores the fascinating world of the big and small screen through a chemist’s eye in his new book, Onscreen Chemistry. Read more about it at: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…

The countdown is on to the release of my book “Onscreen Chemistry” - which tells the story of chemistry/chemists in moving pictures from the very beginning up to the present day, charting all the highs & lows. You can pre-order it here #Chemistry #SciComm books.rsc.org/books/monograp…
Excited to share our latest paper in Small @WileyGlobal! 🎉 Congrats to @KevinBrennan217 on the first paper of 2025 and to our excellent collaborators @Diego_Mateo86, @angsous, @jorgascon @KCCkaust for this fantastic collaboration!!👏🥳 @TCD_Chemistry
Check out @KevinBrennan217's paper (first of 2025) in Small @WileyGlobal! A brilliant collaboration with @Diego_Mateo86 @angsous @jorgascon @KCCkaust exploring photo & thermal effects in NH3 decomposition on a MOF-derived Fe catalyst! Many congrats to all coauthors! 👏👏
Sir Fraser will be missed by many of his friends in @TCD_Chemistry . As we say in Ireland he was a scholar and a gentleman.
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide. ➡️ bit.ly/stoddart-in-me…
Thrilled to share this piece in @ChemicalScience! Huge congrats to @TimoSommer_ & @clarkec1734cc on this fantastic work!! 🥳👏 Thanks to @Researchirel @TCD_Chemistry @energigune_brta @Ikerbasque Highly recommend this read 👇
🗣️Excited to share our #OpenAccess perspective by @TimoSommer_ @clarkec1734cc just out in @ChemicalScience! We review & analyze the current DBs and present 7 guiding principles (QUANTUM) to advance molecular/materials DBs!🧑💻📚 @Researchirel @TCD_Chemistry doi.org/10.1039/D4SC04…
Today we have the Ph.D. viva presentation of our @AnnaCiotti2 !!! Tune in for some rational catalyst design in photo- and electrochemical hydrogenation if you are around!! @TCD_Chemistry #compchem @MGarcia_Melchor @ambercentre
Many congratulations to Patrick Manning @TCD_Chemistry @tcdTBSI @SSPCentre who passed his viva yesterday! No 56 from the group. Thanks to Jon @jakitchen1 and Isabel for examining.
Delighted to be featured on this list of 35 under 35(ish) among early career materials scientists whom I know, follow, read and admire! @Matter_CP @ERC_Research @ambercentre @TCD_Chemistry sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
