Soxhlet extraction — a technique we chemists barely practice during our degree, but it might be a great option to purify your crudes. Worth considering! 🧪

Nano-day in the lab today‼️🤓

Gotta keep that O₂ away from this sensitive coupling 🫧🫧🫧 Degassing solvents is half the battle—what’s your go-to trick for air-sensitive reactions? 🧪 #LabLife #AirSensitive #RealTimeScience

I'm back with some crystals (as you can see, it's not glass). It's taking me a long time to get the right size but I'm on the way #phosphorus #heterocycle

🔬 New paper out! Inorganic Chemistry — Development of TE1PA-trastuzumab bioconjugates for 64Cu/67Cu-based imaging and therapy of HER2-positive gastric cancer. Promising preclinical results in a murine model! 🚀 UBO - Univ. Brest CEMCA - UMR CNRS 6521 @COSM CNRS Chimie 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Fluorescent things to say hello to summer! ☀️💙

Friday's surprise at the last minute #phosphorus #luminiscence

The chromatographic column just joined the Light Side 🩵✨️The Force glows strong under UV! #Chromatography #PhosphorusChemistry #Luminescence #StarWars

Bromination ongoing ❤️‍🔥🧡 #phosphorusheterocycles #chemistry

Successfully synthesized a significantly higher quantity of the compound for the first time. I can finally see its beautiful crystallization ✨

Sometimes, even the most ordinary compound surprises you. ✨ No special treatment, just time and a vial... 🪄 And yet, it forms amazing crystals. There's beauty in chemistry when you least expect it. ⚗️

Colorful columns and glowing fluorescence 🧪Small things that brighten the lab day! ✨⚗️

Looks like my compound got a bit jealous of Laura F. Peña’s column 👀 A nice example of how emission depends on the sample’s state: solution vs solid 🩵💚 Which one’s your favorite?

Waves of luminescence 🌊✨ Just cleaning the purification column was a show on its own 💜 #Phosphorous #Luminescence #Chemistry #Chromatography

Captured how the reaction evolves with rising temperature — solubility changes, new compounds form, and side products emerge. Fascinating to see chemistry in action ✨️

One reaction, two steps, and fluorescence is born ✨️🩵

None of my jeans were harmed in the making of this film. I promise.

Here it's online!🥳 Another pleasant collaboration with our friends from the York University of Toronto. Take dyes used for colouring jeans, functionalize them with phosphorus and obtain multifuncional materials!😯 New cool applications to come! I love it! pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

It was like a dream...I started alone in Heidelberg. Soon we made the impossible: develop a new type of molecule!Today at the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first publication on phosphaphenalenes and with a dreamed group of scientists! I feel so grateful 🙏🙏
