An exciting collaboration with the de Ruiter and Gershoni-Poranne groups, a few years in the making. Aryl-aryl cross-couplings with iron can proceed via radical pathways using a PCP pincer supporting ligand.

We are hiring two PhDs on our EU SMOM project for a late Sept 2026 start.
The projects will involve being trained, & becoming expert in, air sensitive, platinum group metal organometallics, single-crystal SMOM synthesis, reactivity, and deployment in sustainable catalysis.

Congratulations to Alexis Bauer for passing her PhD defense yesterday! Started in Rochester, moved with the group to Oxford and did some outstanding iron (and uranium) chemistry along the way. Thanks to Simon Aldridge (Oxford) and William Jones (Rochester) for doing the honours.
Congratulations to our very own Maria Healy for winning the inorganic poster prize at the recent OxWiChem day showcasing research of the women in chemistry community @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social

(2/2) ..I increasingly encounter faculty that will not support their own students/postdocs in fellowship applications due to perceived competition on science. Maybe I am just getting old but isn't the idea of our jobs to create great scientists that can go on and do even better science than we have?
(1/2) I do not normally post personal comments but there is something in academic chemistry at the moment that really concerns me. I view the training and support of graduate students and postdocs as our ultimate contribution as academics (certainly it is for me). However, ...

My colleague David Liptrot has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in his group! If you like synthetic, air sensitive chemistry 🧪 dynamic and friendly atmosphere this might be for you! check out the advert 👇
In addition, we will have some further fully funded DPhil positions as part of the normal DPhil application process to chemistry (www.chem.ox.ac.uk/information-...). Note these positions are for UK/home fees students only. Please apply by the January deadline and contact Mike for any questions.
Second, we have a cool project on Pushing the Boundaries of Low-Valent Earth-Abundant Organometallics for Chemical Synthesis together with my colleague at Oxford Tim Donohoe as part of the IMAT CDT. The application window is now open (imatcdt.chem.ox.ac.uk)
Exciting DPhil opportunities in the Neidig group at Oxford for 2026. First up, we have a fun project as part of the @cshp-cdt.bsky.social on Base-Metal Catalysed Enatioselective Construction of Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters with J&J. Application deadline 14 Nov (cshp-cdt.chem.ox.ac.uk)
The last stop on the tour of Spain was today in Alcala. Had a wonderful time travelling the country over the past two weeks. It truly is a special place for organometallic chemistry. Looking forward to many return trips in the future.
Had a wonderful visit to Valladolid yesterday. Thanks Ana for being such a wonderful host and to all the students for their excellent questions. A lot of fun!
Talk 4 of the GEQO lecture tour took me to Castellon and Universitat Jaume I for a wonderful day of meetings with both students and faculty. Thanks to Eduardo Peris for being such a gracious host and for the excellent paella! Four talks in four days so looking forward to the weekend to recover….
Had a great time today at Girona. Thanks to Miguel for being such a gracious host and for all the fun discussions on iron chemistry.
