Final program for the Main-Group Elements Reactivity Conference (Sept 8-10, Namur 🇧🇪): 14 Speakers - 16 oral comms - 2 poster sessions - 1 Chemistry Europe lecture (+ Belgian🍺and 🧀!). EXTENDED deadline (posters and registration): August 15th on mgerc.unamur.be.🗓️

The short review written by Antoine Simonneau and Léon on the activation of small molecules by polyfunctional Lewis acids is now out: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2… Laboratoire de chimie de coordination

Interested in doing P4 activation chemistry but unsure where to source the P4? Look who just published a first author paper on how to make P4 safely! Thanks to Tianze Song and Josh Goldberger for teaching me about tube furnaces! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The 3rd edition of the Main Group Metal Chemistry Symposium (#MGMCS2025) will take place in Paris (Sorbonne University) on Nov 12- 13, 2025. Website: 3rdmgmcs.sciencesconf.org. 🗓⤵️ (Alejandro Perez Luna Institut parisien de chimie moléculaire / IPCM). Nice program covering the different elements of the main group.

Very cool molecule!

Come and do a PhD with us and Sebastian Pike on the photocatalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide. Funding available through CENTA⚡️ centa.ac.uk/studentship/20…

Excited to share our new preprint! 🥳 We developed a modular strategy to access small four-membered biradicaloids by trapping them in Mn and Co complexes. Many congratulations to Stefan and Michi for their successful efforts ! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…
