Guido Clever from @bci-tudortmund.bsky.social kicked-off our @gdch.de 2026 lecture series with an amazing talk on supramolecular chemistry. Thanks for visiting #CHEMnitz

Bimetallic Activation of SF6 by a Bis(Gallylene) The degradation of the kinetically inert and potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride by a bimetallic main-group ambiphile (Lewis amphotere) is reported. Reaction of the bis(gallylene) 1 with SF6 at ...

Aylin's and Max's work on the activation of SF6 by our bis(gallylene) has been published @acs.org Inorganic Chemistry. Nice collaboration with @ralftonner.bsky.social. Thanks to @dfg.de for funding. #CHEMnitz

Bimetallic Activation of SF6 by a Bis(Gallylene) The degradation of the kinetically inert and potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride by a bimetallic main-group ambiphile (Lewis amphotere) is reported. Reaction of the bis(gallylene) 1 with SF6 at 80 °C results in the selective formation of the bimetallic gallium(II) fluoride 2. Irradiation with UV light or the addition of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (4-DMAP) accelerates the reaction, enabling it to proceed already at room temperature. Computations reveal a bimetallic activation scenario and shed light on the accelerating effect of 4-DMAP.

It was a lot of fun to give the traditional #CHEMnitz Christmas lecture. Great to such a good resonance and we finally made it into the News: www.ardmediathek.de/video/mdr-sa...

We very much enjoyed the visit of Wolfram Pernice and his insightful talk in our joined chemistry-physics @gdch.de colloquium at Technische Universität Chemnitz. Thanks for visting #CHEMnitz

Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles Derived from a Bis(gallylene) The ambident reactivity of the bis(gallylene) is demonstrated by the reactions with azobenzene and the triphosphirane (PMes)3, which give rise to a bis(spirocyle) and a 1,2-diphospha-3,4-digalletane,...

Happy to see our joint work with @hering-lab.bsky.social on Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles that we dedicated to Manfred Scheer on the occasion of his 70th birthday
published. Congrats to the team and many thanks to @dfg.de for funding.

It was a pleasure to be part of the first Dielmann Group Defense at @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social

Again, congratulations to Dr. Meike and much success for your new endeavors!

This week we had the great pleasure to have Florian Kraus (Marburg soon to be in Bonn) in our @gdch.de colloquium here at #CHEMnitz. Fascinating insights into a world of chemistry we could never touch. Fun fact: He also showed results from his co-worker Tobias Chemnitz

Congratulations, Josef. Highly deserved

Don't forget Linus Pauling please.

Mono- and dinuclear β-oxo-δ-diiminate (BODDI) based catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide Polyesters such as polylactic acid belong to the most useful biodegradable polymers being able to substitute polyolefins in many applications. In search for potent catalysts based on bio-compatible an...

Our joined work with @harder-research.bsky.social and @mikedelity.bsky.social is now online @rsc.org: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

If you are interested in bimetallics, ring-opening polymerization or both, you should definitely take a look.

Thanks to the team.

#ChemSky #CHEMnitz

This year‘s FuMo took place in the mountains! 🏔️ Together with @ivanafleischer.bsky.social, @teichertlab.bsky.social, @breugstlab.bsky.social & @kretschmerlab.bsky.social we spent four days in Obergurgl, full of interesting scientific talks, inspiring discussions and enjoying the Tyrolian nature.

Great winter term kick-off with an amazing talk by Colin Nuckolls in our @gdch.de lecture series at TU CHEMnitz.

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our ERC project AGILE at the interface of inorganic, organic and organometallic chemistry. A vibrant Team, cool chemistry and everything takes place in the cultural capitol of Europe CHEMnitz. Apply now: www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/p...

Cool and colorful chemistry, Sjoerd. Congratulations to you and the team

Congratulations, very well deserved!!!

Great talk by Muralee Murugesu in our last @gdch.de seminar of the semester about single molecule magnets, where we learned a lot. Many thanks for coming despite the long trip from @uottawa.ca to #CHEMnitz

This is great news, Clare. Congratulations, well deserved

It was a pleasure to be part of this excellent PhD defense.

I really much enjoyed my time at CIQSO in Huelva. Many thanks to @groupmartinez.bsky.social for having me and congratulations to Hellen Videa for an outstanding PhD thesis!!!

Congratulations, Sjoerd and team. Exciting times and chemistry ahead

Today we had the great pleasure to have Seb @riedellab.bsky.social in our @gdch.de colloquium at #CHEMnitz. Great science and impressive insights into chlorine chemistry.

LOW-VALENT Si, Ge, Sn, Pb: HOW LOW CAN WE GO???
Hydrocarbon-soluble Mg(0) reduces Si all the way to Si(4-). Unfortunately not stable and decomposing to the HSi(3-) anion. However, Sn(4-) is stable and functions as 4-fold Nu or 8e reducing agent. Preprint: shorturl.at/4mH0O

Congratulations, Lilli! Now a new time is about to start

Welcome to Saxony, Gunnar and team. Lets strengthen the good connection between Leipzig and CHEMnitz even further!!
