New ChemRxiv from Wenbang Yang on the cross-coupling of CO and an Isocyanide mediated by a magnesium hydride cluster. The reaction forms a new C2 ethene amidolate ligand, reminiscent of aminoalcohol and aminoacid functionality chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

I still have a PhD position available in my research group at the University of Leicester on designing new synthetic methodology for fluorination using hypervalent iodine reagents. Start date: 23 September 2024.

New ChemRxiv preprint from Benedek Stadler Nikolaus Gorgas and Stuart J. Elliott is now out. The work focuses on discovery and understanding of a dyotropic rearrangement of ligands in Fe–Al heterometallic complex. Here's a link: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Repurposing C-F bonds... Job's paper in collaboration with Gouverneur Group on determining fundamental structure/activity relationships for fluoride delivery by molecular calcium fluoride complexes is out in Nature Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155… Oxford Chemistry OxICFM

We have two exciting PhD opportunities available in our group working in the field of main group chemistry - both are open to UK and international applicants 🌍  Please email me to organise informal discussions about the projects. Retweets appreciated 🔁 findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Last week to register for the New Starters in Synthesis and Catalysis (NSSC) 2024 ⁦Imperial Chemistry⁩ Exciting line up of early career speakers and Prof. Helen Hailes for the keynote lecture. Don’t miss out! imperial.ac.uk/events/173723/….

🚨 1 week left to apply for these positions 🚨

Come and work with me and Tom Sheppard in London - we're looking for synthetic and computational PDRAs to investigate reactive fluoroorganics. More info: bit.ly/3R0HtUx (synthetic) and bit.ly/3QUm6EA (computational) Closing date: 14th June UCL Chemistry

New ChemRxiv from Marina Perez-Jimenez and Roessler Research Group is now out. It describes the isolation, characterisation, and electronic structure of a Paramagnetic Nickel-Zinc Hydride Complex, along with hints that such species may be relevant in catalysis. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

.Benedek Stadler Nikolaus Gorgas and Stuart J. Elliott's work understanding and exploiting a dyotropic rearrangement of an Fe–Al bimetallic complex is now out in Angewandte Chemie here is the link onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Marina's, Blaise, and Alberto Collauto's work on a paramagnetic Ni---Zn hydride complex is now out in Angewandte Chemie - thanks to Roessler Research Group and Centre for Pulse EPR Spectroscopy (PEPR) for the great collaboration here is the link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Also out today is a ChemRxiv preprint from Wenbang Yang describing the reductive addition of Zn–Zn bonds to main group carbene analogues. The work challenges preconceptions behind addition mechanisms, hinting that these may not always be oxidative. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Sarah Patrick has a new @chemrxiv preprint out describing a continuous flow process for upgrading HFCs and HFOs. Great collaboration with Phil Miller and Bull Group Chemistry here is the link: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Thoroughly enjoyed GECO. Great idea to have a program of alternating science and ocean swimming. Congrats to the organisation team on fantastic conference.

Now the ink has dried I’m super happy to announce that I’ll be starting as a lecturer at the University of Bath this October. Looking forward to making lots of heterometallic nanoclusters to see what they can catalyse. Website to follow, watch this space. University of Bath Chemistry@Bath Uni
