Thanks so much to our DCBPunibern students and Universität Bern for recognising our #teaching efforts in #organometallic chemistry! So proud to share this recognition with two inspiring lecturers Andreu and Liam K. Burt

Double oblique stopcocks vs Teflon taps is currently neck-and-neck - who will come out on top?! Very happy with the response within the first 24 hours. Close to 100 completed surveys and 60+ partially completed (please do finish when you have a few minutes spare)!

Our manuscript is now online in Chemical Science (pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…)! @chonghe10 reports boron-centered reductive elimination reactions to afford CAAC-ligated haloborylenes! Dicoordinate borylenes produce C–H and C–C activation products. Gilliard Group Cummins Lab

From Simon Schreiner KretschmerLab in Nature Synthesis, a singly bonded gallium(i) compound. In addition to undergoing oxidative addition, the complex inserts alkynes with +1 oxidation state retention. 🔗 CSD Entry CUDROM: ccdc-info.com/3XIWkWk #FeaturedStructureFriday

Last days to apply to this PhD position to come to Fribourg and prepare low valent transition metals and do some exciting Organometallic chemistry with me!

One for the nickel-heads: We use redox miss-match to insert nickel into iron-sulfur cubanes, resulting in some cool clusters (including one with four 3-coordinate metals!). Another step closer to the C cluster... Out in ACS central science: tinyurl.com/4dk7yv9t

🌟Redox ligand-centered organoaluminium reactivity!🌟Collaborative effort OASIS Network with J. Cámpora & A. Rodríguez cicCartuja. Kudos to everyone involved, especially Hellen Videa, Pablo and M. A. Fuentes! CIQSO Univ. of Huelva GEQO RSEQ Inorganic Chemistry 👉 bit.ly/3TVHOt0

BREAKING: the 2024 Noble Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to E. F. Tom for the synthesis of a cubane using chemicals from a hardware store. In a shed. This is a huge win for brown chemistry, which will now replace green chemistry as the best way to pad grant applications.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

There's still time to complete the Schlenk Line Community Survey (closing date = 15th October)! We are currently at 232 respondents with an additional 153 partially completed surveys - please take some time to finish the survey to ensure that your answers/comments are included!

Very proud to see this piece of research published! Check this out if you want to know how AlbrechtResearch unlocked transfer hydrogenation of bulky substrates using the extremely small MAC carbene. Thanks to Pedro J. Perez group for the great teamwork! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
