Congrats to Dom for passing his PhD examination. Doffing the German hat for some unknown reason.

Big week in the Jones group. Two new arrivals, Sophie Unsworth (PhD start) by way of Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, and new postdoc, Joe Parr (Joseph Parr), who recently completed his PhD in Crimmin Group. Big welcome to both! #ozchem Monash Chemistry

Looks like this will be a good one.

Corrected proofs for this one now online Chem. Asian J., and open access. #ozchem

ICHAC14 is underway in Tianjin. A great week of main group chem ahead…once they stop forcing these 80c beers on us.

ICHAC14 is underway in Tianjin! Great venue #livtour

Jones Research Group Thanks Cameron! Couldn’t have done the chemistry without your magnesium(I) compound. It unlocked all the PC work. A truly universal reducing agent.

The after banquet banquet at ICHAC-14. Incredible hospitality from the organisers.

Featuring #OzChem'ists: Jones Research Group; Paul Low, Prof Colette Boskovic, Paul Donnelly & expats Christine McKenzie, Louise A Berben et al. #ICCC2024 #ICCC45 iccc2024.colostate.edu

A big welcome to Josh, who has joined us for the next few months as a UG research student. I'm predicting he will have green fingers! #ozchem Monash Chemistry

What a great start to ICCC 2024! We had an absolute blast meeting some of our main group idols and yesterday’s welcome party. Can’t wait to hear the amazing talks today! #maingroupmagic ICCC_2024

Main Group Magic! Cameron Jones kicking off the MG symposium at ICCC45 in Fort Collins with some beautiful group 2 metal chemistry Jones Research Group #iccc

My group has a fully funded 3.5-year PhD position available in synthetic #organometallic #chemistry with a focus on highly reactive metal complexes for small molecule activation. #inorganic #ozchem Feel free to DM if you're interested! Apply here: utas.edu.au/research/degre…

Very excited to share our recent paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc., from the Thesis of Philip Keil 🍾 We demonstrate predictable energetic tuning of cooperative H2 activation through ligand design, with amazing kinetic studies from PK, and DFT from Tibor Szilvási 🙌 tinyurl.com/2rjfwkuk

More than 4 years in the making, and our 1st Monash/Bath (with Mike Hill) study is out on ChemRxiv. A full series of heavier Gp 2 metal hydride complexes [(Nacnac)M(mu-H)]2 (M=Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba). great work by Dom, Matt and Dafydd. #ozchem Monash Chemistry tinyurl.com/4sm9vaxa

Matt’s Matthew Evans latest paper on the stabilisation of a stannaimine, and its use for the transformation of CO2 to an isocyanate is out now in Chemical Communications #ozchem Monash Chemistry pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Looking forward to seeing you at #IC24 #Inorganic24 at Western Sydney University on 8-12 December. 📢 Early bird registrations & abstract submission open until 30th September. Student bursaries available. inorganic24.com #OzChem #NZIC

Corrected proofs for this one now available. The bully aryl azide developed for the study might be useful for metal imide syntheses etc.

Welcome to Matthis (seilermatthis) who has joined us for 4 months from the Krossing Group Freiburg Chemistry Institutes. Not expecting "no reaction" when we add Krossing oxidising agents (aka de-electronators) to Jones reducing agents (re-electronators?)! 🧨#ozchem Monash Chemistry

An updated version of this one has now been accepted by Chemical Communications, and is available at tinyurl.com/bdd2pbhu. Although brief, it required lots of hard work from Dominic Kennedy, Matthew Evans, Dafydd Jones, Joseph Parr and Mike Hill (𝕏-less). #ozchem Monash Chemistry
