Elsa II arrives at her new home @unileipzig.bsky.social . #newstart

International PhD scholarship round for 2026 is open at ANU. Aspiring scholars with Masters degree, or equivalent (eg Australia/NZ Hons), interested in computational chemistry, quantum information, molecular spins, vibronic coupling, or something in that vein - get in touch!

PhD POSITION OPEN! We are looking for someone enthusiastic to join our team at @humboldtuni.bsky.social! If you want to work in the frontier between noble gas chemistry and organometallic fluorine chemistry, this is for you! #TeamXenon
Info here: haushalt-und-personal.hu-berlin.de/de/personal/...

Gratulation Dinah.🎉 Ich kann die Erleichterung bis in den Osten spüren (und nachvollziehen).

JOB ALERT! 🚨 Are you interested in organic synthesis and catalysis? We have an open PhD position in our group at Philipps-Universität Marburg in Germany. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 Deadline: 10th August 2025. For more details and to submit an application, please refer to the official posting here: lnkd.in/e_f3Xerq

Second that. The same could be said for @rsc.org journals. It is a pain to have a number of different possible social media platforms. But others are more flexible such as @angewandtechemie.bsky.social and other journals from Wiley.

A well timed publication in @chemcomm.rsc.org for transitioning from @unimarburg.bsky.social to @unileipzig.bsky.social. Our view on recent developments in linear metal(I) chemistry in part from our lab in Marburg.
There is still a lot to do on this topic in Leipzig. 😊

Dismantled glovebox.

Packing and dismantling our workhorse.

Nice work. It is always nice to see the resemblance of both metals (and Zn). Long road to N2 activation with Mn. I still remember Patrick's attempts...

W2 Professorship in Organic Chemistry (m/f/x) - Universität des Saarlandes Universität des Saarlandes bietet Stelle als W2 Professorship in Organic Chemistry (m/f/x) in Saarbrücken - jetzt bewerben!

Come and join us at Saarland University @uni-saarland.de as a professor for organic chemistry! Please spread the word! The call for the position has just been announced here jobs.zeit.de/jobs/w2-prof...

An empty lab with fume hoods.

It's getting real and is still unreal. First days @unileipzig.bsky.social, with lots of room to fill (still need to pack our lab stuff in Marburg). I'm a little scared to fully dismantle our large glovebox.

Soft magnetic hysteresis in a dysprosium amide–alkene complex up to 100 kelvin - Nature A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

Delighted to announce the publication of our work in @nature.com, in collaboration with @nfchilton.bsky.social's group, on a dysprosium compound with magnetic memory at 100 Kelvin. Congrats to all authors inc. @gemmagransbury.bsky.social, @jeffjefftyjeff.bsky.social

Congratz and all the best Josh. See you around at conferences 😊

It was a pleasure to host you. A perfect guest for my last acts in @unimarburg.bsky.social before moving to Leipzig 😊. I'll miss already the very funny and lively restaurant visits after every talk, thanks to the colleagues in Marburg.

A Thorough Characterization of the Tellurocyanate Anion [K@crypt-222][TeCN] was synthesized from KCN, Te, and crypt-222 in acetone. We discuss fundamental properties of [TeCN]−: Single crystal X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance (13C, 15N, 125Te...

Excited to kick off this new account with great news: our latest work just appeared in Angewandte Chemie (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)! Huge thanks to our fantastic collaborators from the groups of Florian Weigend, Xulian Xie, and Xue-Bin Wang!

What don't you do for your kids. Trip to Baku with one of zhem to an international math Olympiad. A nice occasion to visit an interesting country I likely would have never visited. Also my first real trip outside of Europe as I hesitate to do such longrange trips. Now I had a good excuse.

What a beast. Congratz.

🎉Doppelerfolg für die #UniMarburg in der Exzellenzstrategie! 🎉 Zwei Cluster zu Klimawandel und menschlicher Wahrnehmung sichern sich Förderung. Marburg beweist Forschungsstärke und Innovationskraft.🚀 @proloewe.bsky.social @synmikro.bsky.social @maxplanck.de @jlugiessen.bsky.social @tuda.bsky.social

Let's see about soon. The train is awfully slow and delayed...

Congratulations. Welcome to the emmy club 😊.

Of course some science will also be involved. 🤪

On my way to a special birthday symposium/party for the combined 120th birthday of @christianlimberg.bsky.social and @akmeyergoettingen.bsky.social. Looking forward to celebrate with them and moreso to exchange fun stories and anecdotes. 😊

Short stint at my new future office @unileipzig.bsky.social. Nice coincidence that the student club a floor below had an outdoor event. Back to student life?

Pleasure to host @joshabbenseth.bsky.social for his talk our institute at @unimarburg.bsky.social . Great talk. All the best for your future and your new endeavor.

Our team has open Phd and postdoc positions if you are interested in being part of the gold adventure, don't hesistate to contact us. All the information are available here: www.lhfa.cnrs.fr/index.php/eq...
