Always good news when a paper is accepted. After 130 papers this is finally my first single-author paper! Coming soon in PCCP are some extreme 19F and 15N chemical shifts - 100s of ppm outside the known ranges...👀 A hint - the most extreme shifts are in the one molecule🤔

Our paper is on the most read list for the month in Organometallics - thanks! Heteronuclear and Homonuclear Bimetallic Metallocenes of Alkaline Earths and Zinc. Super cool molecules! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great to catch up today with former group member Shebual who is about to start a PhD with ⁦Lars Goerigk⁩

🚨 Paper is now online in PCCP! First single-author paper and a lot of fun. Extreme NMR shielding in fluoro-nitrogen cations. Massive calculations for fascinating molecules! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

🚨New paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. - another fantastic collab with Robert J. Gilliard, Jr.. Excellent theoretical work from Andrew Molino and synth led by by Samir Kumar Sarkar on biradical boron-doped phenanthrene. #boron #maingroup pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
