Willkommen an Bord! Prof. Lisa Vondung unterstützt den Fachbereich @Chemie_UHH der UHH - MIN-Fakultät, indem sie die Elemente des f-Blocks im Periodensystem erforscht. Dabei möchte sie speziell für abgereichertes Uran sinnvolle Anwendungen finden: uni-hamburg.de/newsroom/campu…

Excited to announce that in some months I will join the Nature Chemistry team! 🤩🎉 My team Nature Communications is looking for an editor with a background in molecular inorganic/coordination chemistry. DM me if you have questions! #chemtwitter #PublishingJobs careers.springernature.com/job/Shanghai-A…

A PhD position (FPI, four years) in Computational Biochemistry and Biocatalysis is open in the group of Marc Garcia-Borràs (Marc Garcia-Borràs) and Ferran Feixas (Ferran Feixas) at the IQCC UdG DiMoCaT_IQCC TCBioSys Universitat de Girona #compchem

Rahul's work on the activation of N2 with Mg(I) radicals is just out in Angewandte Chemie. We've been trying to do this for 10 yrs. The Mg-N2 cmpd is a great 2 e- reductant towards CO, H2 and C2H4. accessing N-organics is the next goal. #ozchem Monash Science tinyurl.com/2s3mwcd5

DIVERSE REACTIVITY of a Ca(II) complex with a bridging, anti-aromatic C6H6(2-) anion is shown. It reacts either as a Ca(I) SYNTHON delivering 2e, a nucleophile or a Bronsted base and is much more reactive than Mg(I) complexes. EurJIC …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…
