Like f-elements in unusual oxidation states?

Please look at this 4-year #PhD position between Manchester and Peking University to isolate formally divalent molecules and determine their electronic structures with advanced X-ray spectroscopic techniques.

Uranium(III) and Uranium(IV) meta-Terphenylthiolate Complexes We report the synthesis and characterization of crystalline m-terphenylthiolate uranium complexes supported by the bulky ligand system, SAriPr6 (SAriPr6 = {SC6H3-2,6-(Tripp)2}; Tripp = 2,4,6-iPr-C6H2)...

Happy to share Ben’s first full research article from his time in the group: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Challenging synthesis and some interesting new main group architectures making an appearance for the first time on an f-element.

Happy to announce two funded #PhD studentships for aspiring synthetic chemists to do some f-element molecule making.

(1) High oxidation states; (2) Tuneable electronic structures for qubits.

See: www.capgoodwin.com/pages/positi... for details, and below for both FindAPhD links.

Thanks very much for having me at Greenwich, was a lovely day out. Hope to catch up another time for more echem advice and Turkish delight.

Working on my X-it at the moment and shifting over here. The #Chemistry community is growing at a solid clip, and I look forward to seeing more new folks!

It’s fitting that my first post here includes some glorious crystals and #felement colours. Courtesy of 2nd yr PhD researcher Cameron Deakin.

Hi #ChemSky! πŸ‘‹ We see you! Please give us a moment to get settled here.

It’s much easier to just spoon it in small portions onto ice in a well ventilated hood.

Except in very special circumstances, ice isn’t flammable :).
