Today marks my first day as a Liebig fellow enabled by VCI. BIG thanks to all supporters of the last years.😊Too many to name all but special thanks to HeringJunghansLab Dominik Munz Pietschnig Lab @haenisch_group and Prof Hevia 🇺🇦. Without you this would've not been possible!


Now live in Inorg. Chem.Debbie Kays foray into phosphanide ligands for the stabilisation of low coordinate metal complexes. Congrats to Olivia Churchill and [email protected] on your first paper! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…





🚨 Excited to share my latest postdoc work in Bert Meijer’s group, now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! 🚀 We harness helical #SupramolecularPolymers 🧬 with #Pentacene pendants to achieve long-lived triplets from #SingletFission ⚡☀️ 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…



Check out Merlins' fantastic work on deciphering what governs selectivity in sulfurated ROCOP now online Chemical Science

Really happy to announce that our group's first paper was just published in Angewandte Chemie! We demonstrate allylic epoxides increase the strain energy for cyclic olefins, allowing us to make ROMP polymers that can be easily modified post polymerization. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

The newly launched Fielden Research Group (fieldengroup.net) has two open funded PhD studentships! UoBChemistry Group members will learn loads, from organic synthesis to microscopy. Please get in touch if you'd like to know more. RT much appreciated! Details below:

I was recently able to contribute an "Introducing..." article for Angewandte Chemie Check it out if you fancy a light read... inb4 people claiming that #DieHard is not a Christmas movie... (it is!) 😉 #Chemistry #introducing doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…


📢Open #PhD position: Don't miss this chance to do research on polymer chemistry with a dynamic team! plajer.uni-bayreuth.de/en/open-positi… 🌍Uncertain about moving to Germany? Don't worry, we're here to help!🫶research-in-bavaria.de/moving-to-germ… #ResearchInBavaria #PolymerResearch #Chemistry

We uncovered an interesting self-assembly of an amphiphilic Au3(pyrazolate)3 complex. Spoiler: 🧅Great collaboration with Giovanni M. Pavan Lab and his group. Check it out here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Last talk of the year for the chemists at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn by Prof. Alex Plajer from Universität Bayreuth on "Ring opening Terpolymerization" Two, very young inspiring professors in single frame.


URGENT: the Arjan W. Kleij team at ICIQ 🇪🇸 is looking for a PhD candidate with immediate availability (meaning no EU Visa restrictions), targeted start date Jun-Jul’25, contact [email protected], only serious applications 🙏 will be considered and answered. RTs appreciated 🤩
