Oxidative amination by nitrogen atom insertion into carbon-carbon double bonds The synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules through carbon–nitrogen (C–N) bond formation is critical for the discovery and preparation of medicines, agrochemicals, and materials. Here, we report th...

Check out the final version of our paper on nitrogen atom insertion into unactivated alkenes, out now in @science.org!

Many thanks to my amazing colleagues Ann-Sophie Paschke, Bence Béla Botlik, and former students Francesco Felician and Nima Nasiri!

Conjugated polymers are important for organic electronics, but they usually require side chains for solubility that compromise other properties. What if there was another way?

Join us in Bern this summer in @eucomc2025.bsky.social it is going to be so much fun!👇#EUCOMC2025

It is time to say good bye to @pfritz.bsky.social. Aside from being a stellar PhD student, Patrick has contributed immensely to lab organization, You will be missed Patrick! At the same time, we are also very much excited for his new chapter in @morandilab.bsky.social . You will do great things!

Thanks a lot, @michaljuricek.bsky.social! See you in Zurich.

Thank you @coskunlab.bsky.social! The last 5 years were exciting and stressful, but most importantly, they were enjoyable and helped me grow. Thanks for the hard work you put into me.
I am looking forward to what the future holds for us!

@petercarlton.bsky.social is 100% right! The program was amazing and I am incredibly happy to have met so many amazing people!
Use your chance and apply till Jan 26!

The Devil Is in the Details: Pitfalls and Ambiguities in the Analysis of X-ray Powder Diffraction Data of 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) seem to be simple and apparently do not contain a lot of structural information, as these patterns usually do not show more t...

CAS Future Leaders Application | Sara T. R. Velasquez Tips and tricks for the CAS Future Leaders Application

The CAS Future Leaders 2025 call is open. Here I share some tips and tricks to enhance your applications! Good luck to all that are applying! scientistwithadog.co.uk/news/cas-lea...

This is what peak safety looks like!

OrgChem Starter pack has reached the 150 limit, so we started the sequel OrgChem2

Here is a starter pack for folks into tiny switches and machines. I am sure I missed many. Please let me know if you should be included and I will add you
go.bsky.app/EwimNbK

Our OrgChem Starter Pack is growing with already 122 entries, but we will start a volume 2 if we go over the 150 limit!

@coskunlab.bsky.social joined us recently over here! Follow us if you are interested in how we use porous materials for sorption/capture applications or our work on battery technologies.

Thanks for sharing! All of these are super useful!

Hello Bluesky! Here are some useful resources that I've compiled over the years (1/n)

A fairly comprehensive database of MOF and COF water sorption parameters (including capacity, RH, reference, and pore sizes). As used in our recent paper: doi.org/10.1021/jacs...

I mean you can still add a clause for Swiss participants....

How can I be of service :D

I had the pleasure of attending the #CASFutureLeaders program this year, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to PhDs and postdocs interested in expanding their network while fostering leadership skills.

Anxious about the application process? Feel free to reach out❗️

Are you a Ph.D. student or postdoctoral scholar? Apply for the 2025 #CASFutureLeaders program to take the next steps in your leadership journey. Applications are due by Sunday, January 26, 2025. www.cas.org/about/future...

The porous materials community continues to grow and rebuild here, so in addition to #chemsky perhaps we should adopt our own feed #pormatsky alongside to help us find one another and specific posts easily.
