flyer for virtual info session on Stony Brook Chemistry's PhD Program - link to register is in the skeet

If you (or an undergraduate in your life) is thinking about graduate school in Chemistry, I want to share that Stony Brook Chemistry will be holding two virtual info sessions in about 2 weeks on our PhD program! Register: forms.gle/exxMufpr2dLv...

We (SBU Chemistry) are looking for an Organic Chemistry Lecturer! Happy to answer any questions as best I can! apply.interfolio.com/174569 #facultychemjobs

Chemdraw shenanigans #chemsky

A drawing of an oligomer of cylopentadiene/norbornadiene adducts - known as a ladderane. underneath the oligomer, each unit has an udder....this is a ludderane.

Who's up for some Chemistry Cow Puns #chemsky? I'll start - reply with your best pun or image. I am not shy of replying to myself so get 'em in while you can.

Ludderanes anyone?

Axel Becke, one of the big names in DFT development over the past 40 years, has passed away

Proof of kids book in front of plant. Book looks like a composition notebook with red title „X-ray crystallography adventures!“ subtitle: cat & elephant‘s sugar crystal mystery. Two cartoons of a cat in a lab coat and an elephant in baking gear are on bottom right.

Excited to have proofs in hand of our crystallography children‘s book! Illustrated by an amazing undergrad Justine Wong!

More info coming soon…

Do you know the famous dead/alive cat?🙀
With @aromaticist.bsky.social group we found a case where the tunneling in rings makes them Aromatic and Antiaromatic at the same time!⌬

Thank you @drjameschums.bsky.social! Turns out it's this option. I had seen that but assumed it was about standard valence as default, so thought I wanted it on. I did not!

Lifesaver for people who draw complexes and reuse in various representations #chemsky

Hi #chemsky, we are having lots of trouble acquiring methyl vinyl ketone. Several suppliers, @sigmaaldrich.bsky.social, @thermofishersci.bsky.social, claim that they have it, but they actually do not, and they claim they do not know when it will arrive from their supplier.

A multicomponent approach for the stereoselective synthesis of atropisomeric N–N peptide analogues Peptide analogues featuring both central and N–N axial chirality were efficiently synthesised using a 4-component Ugi reaction. This method demonstrates a broad substrate scope, affording the target c...

Very happy to have contributed to this study from Roly Armstrong's group on N–N atropisomeric amides in @chemcomm.rsc.org: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

It has been an honour and privilege to co-write this piece in honour of Bob!

pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

(Want to know how many papers Bob has in his self-curated digital reference library that he started in 1989? The answer will surprise you! Read the article to find out 😉)

How common is it to make a six-membered ring with all different elements?

Ahh, recommendation ranking time again. What is missing here?

I wrote tron on my TI-82 in high school

Our manuscript detailing the impact of carbene ligands on the synthesis, properties, and reactivity of 8 diazoboranes is now published in JACS (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...)! Take a look at the unusual boraketenes and diazaborles! #maingroup #boron @jacs.acspublications.org

Thanks so much to @bribarbu.bsky.social and @cenmag.bsky.social for highlighting our recent work! 😊

@tkschramm.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social

Our latest work reveals a new PN framework (Phosphaza-norbornanes) with a broad scope of substitution. Congrats to PhD student Joseph Nazak on his 1st paper with us! Also feat @michaelland.bsky.social + @jasonmasuda.bsky.social

Today, @ucdchemistry.bsky.social let Alexander Jussupow, Liana Zoumpouli, and I introduce ourselves to the school and the @ucddublin.bsky.social community. Here's me trying to bring my whole self to my work.

We have just published a short overview article explaining the concepts copper catalysys with bifunctional ligands published recently. @synlettjournal.bsky.social.

Any professors from graduate programs in sciences want to be a part of a Zoom session for University of Richmond undergraduate students interested in applying? I'd love to add a few more to my roster especially in the chemical or biochemical sciences. It would be next Tuesday at noon Eastern.

Stefan Kilyanek manipulates molecules to break their bonds This electrochemist discovers new catalysts and finds unconventional ways to navigate the lab

Great article on a great scientist, Stefan Kilyanek!
