That's awesome!

If you're looking for a way to keep your files synced across multiple computers, I use syncthing and love it.

I don't promote all our papers on here...like they are ALL AWESOME (of course they are, I wrote them, and you should be honoured to have access to my GREAT THOUGHTS) but this one is a bit special. And has broad implications.

Okay, as promised, here's a summary of "keeping up with the literature" tools #chemsky

What I want is a "sort by best" tool that learns my preferences.

I'm not sure there's a perfect solution now, but there are some promising tools...

Hey #ChemSky. I'm wondering what PhD applicants are experiencing this year. I have a student with essentially a 4.0, 3 years of research experience in my group, 1 summer (another pending) interning at Pfizer who currently has no offers. IMO this is complete nonsense. He's getting antsy.

Website updated, so re-posting. #ChemJobs #ChemChat We are searching for a 2-year Visiting Assistant Professor to help teach our 100-level & organic chemistry courses (sabbatical replacement over the next two years). We have a search page with more info. www.skidmore.edu/chemistry-an...

Obviously a lot is going on (gestures widely)

Amid chaos, I cope by doing *something* -- anything. Lately, it's been coding for @avogadro.cc because it feels like some small change I can do myself

For *years* I've wanted to show electron density volumes .. little clouds ☁️☁️

#compchem

this is a fascinating article, featuring a ton of analytical chemists arguing with one another #chemchat

Flash Communication: Structural Confirmation, Bonding, and Reactivity of an I(V) Analogue of Weiss’s Reagent Structural confirmation of an iodine(V) analogue of Weiss’s reagent, [ArI-O(Pyr)2]2+, is reported using monodentate pyridine ligands and a nitro-substituted arene to provide protection from electrophi...

Dilushini’s paper from her masters work comes out with a strong supporting cast! We promised reactive I(V)….Here’s some reactive I(V).

Decoding the Nested, Multicycle Mechanism of Ni-Catalyzed Redox-Neutral Cross-Coupling through Temperature Scanning Reaction Calorimetry Catalytic reactions involving multiple cycles are common in many key organic transformations. We report a detailed mechanistic analysis of one such network of “nested” cycles, the Ni-catalyzed cross-c...

Out today on JACS ASAP - Baran/Blackmond collaboration demonstrating the power of temperature scanning reactions in mechanistic studies of multicycle catalytic systems. Fantastic work by @dacagan.bsky.social and Aron Peter and Phil who is still over on the other place.

Steric and Electronic Control of Regioselectivity in Salophen Metal Complex-Catalyzed Epichlorohydrin Acetolysis Salophen ligands and their complexes with transition metals Cu(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), and Co(II) were synthesized and characterized by UV–vis, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of the...

Haven’t posted in a while here but - Thrilled to announce: a research paper with former Fulbright visiting scholar Dr. Kseniia Yutilova has been published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry! doi.org/10.1021/acs.....

🧵 1/?: Switching a Research Desktop to Linux (Intro & Prehistory)

1/
This is the first in a series of threads/mini-tutorials I'll be posting on switching a real academic research & development desktop to Linux.
Not a “open source rocks” 🧵— this is about doing actual science.

Question I never thought of before: Do anti-static ionizers work in argon? I know an alpha particle (if you're using a Po-based ionizer) is going to be way way more energetic than Ar ionization energy, but unsure about all the secondary reactions, etc....

UNCW's Dept of Chem and Biochem is looking for four (4!) new members this cycle including:

Asst Professor Analytical Chem
Asst Professor Physical Chem
Lecturer - Bio- and general Chem
Lecturer - General Chem

Our dept is a great place to work and Wilmington's a blast!

Could we just get all graduate programs in a field to use a common app already?

any suggestions for a equivalent reagent for Na/Hg?

Ok that's a good one

Dear lord, it's worse than I imagined!

I had to write this on an exam today!

#chemchat #chemsky I need your recommendation for a very high boiling point solvent that can be used at 300C. Ph2O is not high enough (it goes to around 250C). Cannot be protic, cannot have amines. It doesn't need to be a liquid at room temp. Ideas?

🔥Excited to share our latest: "Nickel Complexes of a Hybrid Cyclopentadienyl-Phosphine Ligand” Now out in @pubs.acs.org

Work done by former PDF, Pavan Mandapati w/ PhD student, Gabe Jobin! 💪

Our group’s latest work is out today in @nature.com ! Our goal is to enable any chemist to be able to easily access an aryne intermediate! So Chris, Sal, and Felicia teamed up to design what we think is the ideal aryne precursor. Danny and @jnboyn.bsky.social helped us understand the activation!

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...
