Hydrogen Activation by a σσ*-Carbene Through Quantum Tunneling | Journal of the American Chemical Society @HHU_de @uni_tue pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Remarkable advance in basic chemistry: Researchers created hexanitrogen, six bound nitrogen atoms. It's the most energetic molecule ever made! If it can be made & stored in bulk (big if) it could be a powerful rocket fuel or energy storage material. chemistryworld.com/news/most-ener…
And when we thought we already knew all possible small molecules, N6 suddenly appears🤯 One of the most beautiful papers of the 21st century was published yesterday. nature.com/articles/s4158…

So excited the team has made a nitrogen allotrope! Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

The @EthzRichardson group @ETH_en have discovered a new mechanism for the reaction of triplet carbenes via nonadiabatic quantum tunnelling. A concerted pathway dominates only at very low temperatures and switches to a sequential process when heated. • onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
We are excited to announce the launch of Angewandte Chemie Novit - An #OpenAccess journal dedicated to elevating the most significant advances in chemistry. For more information, visit angewandte.org/novit. #AngewandteChemieNovit @GDCh_aktuell
🧪 Cláudio M. Nunes (@UnivdeCoimbra ) and Peter R. Schreiner (@prsgroupjlu ) discuss how electron-donating substituents can control quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) reactivity—and why QMT deserves a place in general chemistry curricula doi.org/10.1002/chemv.…
We are starting the year with great news! 💡 EuChemS President @angelaagostiano has signed the @IUPAC Proclamation, urging more funding for basic chemical research to tackle global challenges. 🌍🔬 Read more: euchems.eu/euchems-increa…

Competitive Heavy-Atom Tunneling Reactions Controlled Through Electronic Effects by Claudio M. Nunes, Peter R. Schreiner, and co-workers (@claudiomnes, @UnivdeCoimbra, @prsgroupjlu, @jlugiessen) #OpenAccess @ChemEurope onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce…
Congratulations @CNTRArmsControl on the launch of the 1st issue of the CNTR Monitor at the Federal Foreign Office. The topic of #DualUse shows how important it is that experts in Natural Sciences, Technology & International Security are joined up. Excellent piece of work!
Congratulations Neil & team! Fun fact: Bredt was for 26 years a professor in Aachen, as successor of Claisen. His adopted daughter, Maria Lipp, became the first woman to receive a PhD in Aachen (in 1918) and later, in 1938, was Aachen’s first female professor.
Thrilled to share our new study of anti-Bredt olefins in @ScienceMagazine. Congrats to the authors for this nicely timed study, 100 yrs after “Bredt’s Rule” came to be. Read it here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ucla @uclachem @houk1000
Contrasting Historical and Physical Perspectives in #AsymmetricCatalysis: DeltaDeltaG# versus Enantiomeric Excess (Peter R. Schreiner and co-workers) @prsgroupjlu @tub_chem #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
The leaching of chloride ions from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is due primarily to quantum tunnelling, according to a surprise discovery by @SzilvasiGroup and Gbolagade Olajide of the @UofAlabama. chemistryworld.com/chloride-ions-…
🏆Frank Glorius has received the Emil Fischer Medal of the GDCh at the #ORCHEM2024 conference @uni_regensburg for his work. He has championed the #catalytic asymmetric #hydrogenation of #arenes and impacted many other areas of organic #synthesis. Glorius studied chemistry…
