BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”

How do you access and use fleeting nitrogen-centered radical intermediates? As the lit on photoredox-mediated reactions explodes, our team (Mikey Kwon, Tom Simons, Dr. Nanda M. (not on twitter), and Jennifer Roizen) has done some of the work for you: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Proud of the Muñiz group 2005-2021 Muñiz Group. Today was a very emotional day in ICIQ in memory of Kilian. I almost couldn't finish my speech. Rest in peace, boss.

Last work by ⁦Jana Sendra Viscarro⁩ on transannular reactivity is out on ⁦J Org Chem/Org Lett⁩ . Nice reaction for the enantioselective synthesis of bicyclic 1,3-diamines. Dedicated to the memory of our friend Kilian Muñiz ⁦Muñiz Group⁩ ⁦@ehuscientia⁩ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

#Kudos to ICIQ's new Dr. Eric CF (Muñiz Group & Marcos García Suero) "When you are young you want to change the world, and science is the best way to do so. To me science, and especially chemistry, has many applications that can help society" Read more: bit.ly/3yPUcz9

Our first paper of the year is now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! 🥳🍾 Check out how a single thiol catalyst allows direct benzylation of C-H allylic bonds through sequential EDA complex and HAT activations 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Finally out! special issue Chemical Reviews on Photochemical Catalytic Processes. I thank all the colleagues and friends, who contributed spectacular reviews Chemical Reviews pubs.acs.org/toc/chreay/122…

Interested in a #PhD in #photocatalysis with Earth-abundant metal complexes at ICIQ ? We are hiring! Applications in the link below, deadline March 6th!! iciq.org/jobs-grants/po… Please RT! #PhDposition #chemtwitter #chemjobs #phdchat

🎓 Hats off to our newest #doctor, Dr. Sarró, Pau Sarró (Marcos García Suero group) for his thesis defence!! "Critical thinking was extremely important for my thesis, but also for my day-to-day life. This skill has made me grow as a scientist and as a person." bit.ly/37EboyE

For many reasons, this will remain one of my favorite publications (the only one with #Kilian). Muñiz Group started the project and it was an honor to conclude it with Davide Spinnato and Eleni - Chemical Science Melchiorre Group pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Now out in Chemical Science ! Check out how different quenchers allow chemodivergent benzylation of cyanopyridines, either via ipso-substitution or Minisci-type reaction ! Congrats to Eleni, Davide Spinnato and Kang 🥳 ICIQ Muñiz Group pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Sometimes you have to look at the 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 side and 𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞 different knowledge to make discoveries💡so did we with our enzyme! Check out our f̲i̲r̲s̲t̲ paper in biocatalysis! Congratulations to the team Vasilistseliou @adriana_faraone Laura, Jan, Gianluca🥳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Second paper of the group published this week! Really excited to see in Nature Synthesis our review on nucleophilic TM-catalysed directed C-H functionalizations! A nice read for the weekend 😉

A pleasure handling this manuscript JACS Au 👏
