Me alegro mucho. Felicidades.

I am immensely honored to have been appointed a Chemistry Europe Fellow and to join this distinguished group of chemists across Europe. This award truly means a lot to me. Thank you! @chemistryviews.bsky.social

And finally, thanks to the funders, giving us the chance to explore this chemistry! 💰 @erc.europa.eu @chemieverband.bsky.social @dfg.de 💰

Snapshots of Cooperative Trimetallic Alkene Hydrogenation Bimetallic cooperativity and synergistic effects have emerged as powerful tools that can enhance the reactivity and selectivity of catalytic systems, offering a pathway toward the development of catal...

Flash Communication: Strained and Bimetallic Structures of Rhodium and Iridium Germyl Complexes with Phosphinoamido Ligands In the coordination chemistry of heavier tetrylenes (:ER2, where E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), chelating P,N-donor ligands occupy a privileged position, though phosphinoamido ligands, [R2P–NR′]−, have been bar...

QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY: Since COVID it is very difficult to get GOOD (STRONG) glovebox gloves. And they are very expensive! Any tips where to get normally priced good gloves? You can also direct-mail me: sjoerd.harder@fau.de Thanks for your advice!

Congratulations to Herbert W Roesky, University of Goettingen, who turned 90 yesterday. One of the greatest inorganic chemists of this or any generation.

After some time, Annika's work on the first open-shell metallo-tetrylene is out 🥳 And it got the @chemicalscience.rsc.org
#PickoftheWeek stamp of approval, congrats Anni!🎖️

Great collab with Max Holthausen, (Frankfurt) 🖥️

Best thing here is the mechanism, so check it out:

A Ca(I) synthon with bridging N2 is key to the synthesis of homometallic Ca peroxide and oxide complexes. In solution, the Ca oxide complex decomposes even at -80 C. It can only be prepared in the solid state. @ChemCommun @RoySocChem shorturl.at/AUoWM

Just unacceptable!

3 years after it was launched, the journal ChemistryEurope, created to be the flag journal of @chemistryeurope.bsky.social‬, is not yet indexed by Scopus (Elsevier) or Web of Science (Clarivate). A search in these databases will never find articles published in ChemistryEurope.

Stepwise Acetylene Insertion and Ammonia Activation at a Digallene and Diindene Sequential [2+2] cycloaddition reactions between acetylene and the digallene and diindene compounds (ETer)2 (E = Ga, In; Ter = 2,6-Dipp2-C6H3; Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) are described. Careful con...

PDRA extraordinaire, Álvaro García-Romero, hits it out if the park again! Check out his most recent work out today in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Outstanding computational support by DFT master @isra-group.bsky.social! Further details here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Contour line map of the electron density of hexanitrogen (top) with an electron localisation map (bottom) showing the molecule’s weak point

Remarkable advance in basic chemistry: Researchers have created hexanitrogen, six bound nitrogen atoms. It's the most energetic molecule ever made!

If it can be made & stored in bulk (big if) it could be a powerful rocket fuel or energy storage material. 🧪

LOW-VALENT Si, Ge, Sn, Pb: HOW LOW CAN WE GO???
Hydrocarbon-soluble Mg(0) reduces Si all the way to Si(4-). Unfortunately not stable and decomposing to the HSi(3-) anion. However, Sn(4-) is stable and functions as 4-fold Nu or 8e reducing agent. Preprint: shorturl.at/4mH0O

How Clarivate is clamping down on bad actors in academic publishing Clarivate's Nandita Quaderi tells Chemistry World why the firm has recently delisted over 100 journals

In the past three years, well over 100 journals have been delisted by Clarivate. They will no longer have their papers indexed, their citations counted, or be given an impact factor. Nandita Quaderi, senior vice president, explains what triggered the organisation to step up screening processes.

Good for John Hartwig. He is of course correct, and it’s important to say these things loudly and clearly, both abroad and in the US.

Cowards. Just like @acs.org

The ACS has deleted its website on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Respect. And with that move, have shown they are worthy of none of the latter.
People ask why no-one stands up to fascists, this is why - they are too worried about their own standing to challenge it.

An open-shell Ir(II)/Ir(IV) redox couple outperforms an Ir(I)/Ir(III) pair in olefin isomerization - Nature Chemistry The chemistry of precious-metal-based open-shell mononuclear complexes remains underdeveloped. Now it has been shown that iridium metalloradicals enable Ir(II)/Ir(IV) redox cycles and catalyse olefin ...

To inaugurate our account: Really excited to share our last work on Ir(II) vs Ir(I) as catalysts (Ir(II) wins, but share the same mechanism!): Now at
