A year ago, amid the pandemic, we proposed that @RoySocChem should compile a collection of Latin American contributions to chemistry. The collection was well received; 24 journals and 16 editors participated in the selection/1 doi.org/10.1039/D1RA90… pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/ar…

Sobre el peso de publicar en las revistas científicas -y el estigma de publicar fuera de ellas-, lean este artículo de Gabriel Merino @theochemmerida, en el que explica por qué es clave que la ciencia sea comunicable para todos los públicos eleconomista.com.mx/opinion/estigm…
Mi colega y amigo @theochemmerida escribió esta interesante columna de opinión sobre "El estigma de publicar (para un científico)" en @eleconomista Vale la pena darle una buena leída. eleconomista.com.mx/opinion/estigm…

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…
Our new @JPhysChem paper explores C₂H₇NO isomers, identifying 8 structures incl. 1-aminoethanol (global min) & methylaminomethanol. Rotational constants and conformer data support ISM searches for N/O organics. @1LissNoor @FOrtizChi @LuisOrt42601377 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
C3H8O2 Isomers: Insights into Potential Interstellar Species astrobiology.com/2025/01/c3h8o2… #astrobiology #astrochemistry #interstellar #astronomy
New paper in @PCCP! We explore the structure, bonding & reactivity of C₃H₂Au⁺, C₃HAu₂⁺ & C₃Au₃⁺. Cyclic isomers support the Au–H analogy & show aromatic 3c–2e π-bonding. C–Au covalency shapes reactivity. @rafael_islas @cerpa_erick @luzdiego11 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Our latest work in PCCP @PCCP @RoySocChem Tuning of aromaticity and reactivity in gold-substituted cyclopropenyl cations “These results offer valuable insights for designing novel gold–carbon clusters.” @theochemmerida @rafael_islas @ndariaso @luzdiego11 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our latest work in @angew_chem explores planar tetracoordinate oxygen atoms, identifying 35 global minima stabilized by Group 13 elements. A huge congratulations to @gabyrCT for leading this study @jbarrozom @MesiasOrozco @FOrtizChi @leyvaluis177 🇲🇽 🇨🇱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

How do we compare stacking configurations in 2D materials? In our review in @Matter_CP, we propose a unified framework to classify bilayer honeycomb materials from Groups 13–15. 👏 Congratulations to @JessArcudia for leading this work! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #BilayerStacking

Beautiful art work for this nice paper pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… featured in the inside cover of issue 7, Volume 16 of @ChemicalScience. Great collaboration with @JhoanLondoo4 @SGomezChem @heidyql @felipefantuzzi @FCENUdeA
🎉 We had an amazing time at @Aromaticity2025 a couple of weeks ago! Here’s a collection of great memories. Huge thanks to @theochemmerida, @miquelsola, and @OttossonGroup for making it all possible! 🙌 #Aromaticity
Porque la #RMN no se puede restringir a 2 o 3 núcleos, estaremos en el 12º Encuentro de Química Inorgánica #EQI #NMRChat @SOMERMN2020
