Why are tertiary phosphines poor initiators for epoxy homopolymerization, but perfect for curing epoxy phenolic resins? Read our latest ChemRxiv paper on phosphonium phenolate zwitterions. doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Polymer scientists check the #YPRA website for the latest information on registration, dates, etc. tugraz.at/institute/ictm…

To add some quality to the discussion #plagiatsfuzzi Paolo Chirio has done some great, provocative and funny work on (historical misquotations about) plagiarism - see the project paolocirio.net/work/people-qu…

It is very sad for me that the DER STANDARD which has been my Austrian daily newspaper since 1988, has recently become more and more like "The Sun". Take #schilling as a prominent example Gerold Riedmann

By studying the reaction of a diarylphosphinophenol and oxiranes, we were able to answer the question of why tert-phosphines are poor initiators for epoxy homopolymerization, but perfect for curing epoxy phenolic resins. Previously seen ChemRxiv now out: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The 1st abstract submission deadline for the Young Polymer Researchers Austria Meeting is approaching (June 1) for those who wish to have their abstract accepted before the early bird registration deadline (June 10). tugraz.at/institute/ictm…

The group had a great time at IUPAC Macro2024 Conference-University of Warwick and they came back with a lot of ideas for the conference #ypra that they will be organizing in September. tugraz.at/institute/ictm…

The summer school on catalysis organized by the TU Graz lead project Porous Materials@Work for Sustainability is taking off - thanks to Nikolaus Gorgas for a marvelous lecture on organometallic chemistry in catalysis

Physicists are amazing! Preprint by Lindner and Czibula arXiv.org on #Brillouin spectroscopy to probe the mechanical properties of (zinc-based) #MOFs - our GUT2 #tugraz is stiffer than ZIF-8! arxiv.org/abs/2409.07039

During the Austrian Chemistry Days Österreichische Chemische Gesellschaft (GÖCH), Karin Ratzenböck and Susanne Fischer received the Best Review Article Award 2023 of the Monatshefte für Chemie #springernature for their paper on oxa-Michael polymerization. link.springer.com/article/10.100… Many congratulations!

Porous Materials@Work for Sustainability is organizing a networking event at @TUGraz in 2025. Are you interested? Any questions? Then sign up or ask me if you need more information.

The combination of Brillouin scattering data with simulations of elastic properties and phonon bands allows the determination of approximate values for the components of the elastic tensor of the studied MOF, even for comparatively small single crystals. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Understanding the reversible intercalation of guest molecules into MOFs is crucial for advancing their design for applications. In a new preprint, Nina Strasser et al. explore the impact of crystal water on the thermal expansion of a zinc-based MOF: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05189
