Excited to have the first installment of our high-valent iron oxo chemistry in print at @J_A_C_S! Congrats to first author Chris Hastings and the rest of the team. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
A huge congratulations to our very own Jos Briggs-Pritchard for winning a poster award at EuCOMC 2025!!!

A fantastic way to celebrate EuCOMC 2025. The Neidig group representing with Jos, Alexis and Ben.

Just out…a fun collaboration with the de Bruin group. Congratulations to Jens and Alexis! doi.org/10.1002/ceur...
Second one for the day. Always fun working together with the Song group. Congrats to Jack and Alexis! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Excited to welcome our newest postdoc to the group, @FaincheMurphy, following a fantastic PhD in the Weetman group at Strathclyde. Looking forward to lots of fun iron chemistry over the next three years!

Had a wonderful time at the UK Catalysis Hub summer conference presenting on the research from our group and hearing about all the wonderful catalysis research going on in the UK!!! A wonderful community to be a part of.
A huge congratulations to our very own @MagaliGimeno20 who is now Dr. Magali Gimeno after passing her PhD defense today!!! Very proud!!!

Celebrating the start of Mike’s EPSRC Open Fellowship with a new group picture! Looking forward to all the fun iron chemistry for organic synthesis this will enable the group to pursue @OxfordChemistry over the next 5 years thanks to @EPSRC

Had a wonderful set of visits to @WISChemistry @HebrewU @TechnionLive this past week. So much exciting chemistry going on ! Thanks to @SamerGnaim @NairoukhGroup @deRuiterLabs for hosting…and a huge honour to give the Ginsburg Lecture at the Technion.


Many thanks to Prof. Michael L. Neidig @TheNeidigLab from @OxfordChemistry for today’s insightful Chemistry Colloquium on organoiron species in organic synthesis!

🚨Upcoming postdoc position🚨 Thanks to @LeverhulmeTrust we will soon be recruiting a new PDRA to study some unusual redox-active Lewis acid chemistry. Full advert to follow soon, but in the meantime please feel free to get in touch if interested!
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…
Nice to see this new iron work in @Orgmet_ACS, which demonstrates some cross-coupling reactivity principles that will help my lab to develop new iron-catalyzed reactions in the coming years pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
