The Wolf Group

I am pleased to announce that I have been promoted to full professor @uni_regensburg. Immensely grateful to all co-workers (past and present), mentors and colleagues who have supported me on the way! (RW)

Check out our latest paper in @NatureChemistry on the capture of (Bi5)-, the heaviest pentapnictogen analog of (C5H5)-, in a unique Co/Bi cluster. Huge thanks to Wernsdorfer & Weigend groups for great collaboration! @KITKarlsruhe @dfg_public @ERC_Research rdcu.be/d6TbD

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

My latest paper with @GoicoecheaGroup is now online in @ChemCommun! pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art… Check it out for some interesting cyaphide transmetallation reactions - and to learn more about this funky tetrametallic Au/Fe compound!

Phosphine-Stabilized P4C4 Cage Compound: First synthetic access to a phosphine-stabilized P4C4 cage, expanding the exploration of P,C phases in contrast to the well-studied P,N phases chemistryviews.org/phosphine-stab… @CoburgerPeter @ETH @TU_Muenchen

Sb-to-P Metathesis: A Direct Route to Structurally Constrained, Cationic PIII Compound - Now in its final form in @angew_chem. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… This paper is dedicated to my PhD supervisor, Prof. Yitzhak Apeloig!! Congrats again to @Deependrabawari and Irina Malahov!

Excited to see Andi‘s and Julia‘s work on a new {Bi6}-based cluster highlighted by a cover feature in @angew_chem! Thank you @ERC_Research @dfg_public @4f_for_future @KITKarlsruhe

We have two openings for PDRAs working in iron catalysis for organic synthesis as part of a funded EPSRC Fellowship. Applicants with strong backgrounds in inorganic synthesis and organometallic chemistry are strongly encouraged to apply. Link below: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

#ChemSusChem Closing the Loop: Low-Waste Phosphorus Functionalization Enabled by Simple Disulfides (Daniel J. Scott and co-workers) @ScottChemistr @TheWolf_Group #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cs…

A Mixed Aryl/Amide Complex of Iron(II) (Roland A. Fischer and co-workers) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/za…

Pleased to share our latest publication on P4 functionalization. Great collaboration with @ScottChemistry ! Supported by @idk_pec @uni_regensburg

Now all the elements can get in on the fun! Check out our latest work in @ChemicalScience! Pnictogen-Based Vanadacyclobutadiene Complexes. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Thanks to Afshan, @JohnRuss19, @baikkaist 💻, and @UPennXtal 🔮for their contribitions!

📢 We have a PhD position available in our lab exploring main group compounds and their reactivity. We are very happy for people to contact us with informal enquires! kcl.ac.uk/study-legacy/f….

Great win streak by the team @smc_uppsala. @AsifMohdAnsari @rrajdeka and Anders Thapper elucidate mono- di and tri-radicals based on contorted polyaromatics functionalized with phosphaalkenes. Congratulations 🎉 🎉 @angew_chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Over the last three days, we had an inspiring #crc_325 meeting at Weltenburg monestary. We were particularly pleased with the participation of our guests Prof. Ramamurthy Vaidhyanathan, Prof. Katja Heinze and Dr. Sami Lakhdar. We would like to thank all participants.

Wanna know about some recent developments in the field of cooperative ligands for catalysis ? Check out the special collection ⁦@JKhusnutdinova⁩ and I worked on as guest editors in ⁦@EurJIC⁩ and ⁦@ChemCatChem⁩ 🙂 …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cc…

So glad to see our contribution phosphorus radicaloid chemistry out in @angew_chem. Great collaboration of @rrajdeka, Anders Thapper @smc_uppsala and Reiner Lomoth giving insights into the electrochemistry and radicals along the way onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Just out in @ChemCommun! The ionic liquid [NEt3Me][Cl3] reacts with P4 to form [PCl6]-. It shows interesting chemistry. It can also release PCl3 at elevated temperatures and acts as a potential PCl3 storage material. Great cooperation with @GroupMullerFU pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Great BiEr chemistry 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Some cool iron chemistry from our UK colleagues @bedcatalysis at Bristol.

Highly recommended! Olie is a gifted scientist and a great person!
