@chitnislab @DalhousieU @chemistryatuvic Great news Saurabh!! Congrats 🥂

I am proud to be a recipient of this year's RSC Chem Comm Emerging Investigator Lectureship! This recognizes the hard work and creativity of group members over the last few years both @DalhousieU Chemistry and @ChemistryatUVic ! blogs.rsc.org/cc/

@stefano_crespi @angew_chem On fire!!!

Check out our latest publication in @angew_chem where we show that the infamous V shape in the substituent effects in the thermal isomerization of azobenzenes comes from a single nonadiabatic mechanism 🔥 and not a mix of two. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@AbbensethJosh @JACS Absolutely!! See you in March

@BismutoLab @JACS Thanks mate, hope to see you at EWPC later this year?

📣Our new paper is out in @JACS (our very first one)!🥳 We show how a redox-active ligand unlocks C–X bond scission at an ambiphilic T-shaped Bi(III) compound. A big collaborative effort with my brilliant colleagues from Berlin. 👉pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

A new high for SBDIPY, finally beating BODIPY as Lewis acid Sensors. Well done Andre´! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

@JensBeckmann16 Cool!!

It's that time of the year: Drawing catalytic cycles in organometallics class

📢We are hiring! We offer a fully funded 2-year #Postdoc position to join our team at @Stockholm_Uni Do you want to work in heterogeneous catalysis with MOFs and make organic synthesis more sustainable? Apply here until 28/12 #chemtwitter RTs appreciated! su.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

Congratulation to Prasenjit and Matthias for adding gold in our azadistibiridine and study the unusual stepwise dyotropic rearrangement! Thanks Toni for the fruitful Collaboration. #Antimony #Smallrings pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

🎁HBT Herbert W. Roesky who turns 90 today. He studied chemistry at the University of Goettingen @uniGoettingen from 1957 onwards and earned his PhD in 1963 for work with Oskar Glemser on the high pressure #fluorination of metals. After a postdoc with Earl Muetterties in the legendary Du Pont Laboratories in Wilmington, DE/USA he did his habilitation in record time in Göttingen in 1967. In 1971 he became Professor of #InorganicChemistry at the Goethe University Frankfurt, and in 1980 he returned to his Alma Mater in Goettingen where he remained ever since and discovered numerous inorganic compounds, reactions and mechanisms until very recently—see a 2025 publication on Si and Ge chemistry in Chem. Comm. Main group elements and transition metals were researched in his group regardless whether the products were #organometallics or #CoordinationCompounds. Herbert Roesky could entertain huge audiences with experimental lectures, and based on those he published books like “Spectacular Chemical Experiments” in order to popularize chemistry. The Christel and Herbert W. Roesky Foundation promotes main group chemistry through a biannual Award. He himself was honored through numerous awards, honorary degrees, and memberships in academies and learned societies; the highest award of the GDCh @GDCh_aktuell, the Honorary Membership he received in 2021.

Great news for Bonn!! We are looking forward to having you here!!

Thanks for the amazing conference!! Fantastic organisation and scientific discussion!

Many thanks for the great highlight!

We showed the activation of distibene and dibismuthene with a series of azides to generate small inorganic rings. The divergent reactivity has lead to an interesting example of NHC-stabilised imino-bismuthane.

A new chapter in Small Inorganic Ring 💍🧪Congratulation @Palui004 and all the coauthors for the great job. #Bismuth #Antimony pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Thanks to the great collaborations with the Green, Grimme and Kornienko groups, we have been able to analyse the mechanism and investigate the effect of light during CV measurements and validate it using computational methods; check the SI for more info🔋💡

Congrats André @chem_korzun and all the authors involved for this new generation of SBDIPY and BIDIPY and their application in photocatalysis! Now published in @InorgChem pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

@AbbensethJosh Great news Josh 🥳

I’m absolutely delighted to announce that I will be joining the University of Manchester as a Lecturer starting this August🥳. I’m looking forward to working with such an outstanding department. Proper excited for this next chapter in Manc!

Don’t miss the opportunity to join the new Women Mentoring Program organized by the #MedChem Division of the German Chemical Society (GDCh)! ⏳Application Deadline: July 31st, 2025 For more information: gdch.de/netzwerk-struk… #WomenInSTEM @GDCh_aktuell

Fantastic conference this fall (17-19 September) near Vienna, Austria! The lineup at the “Photoexciting Molecules” at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is amazing!!! Check it out: photoexcite.ist.ac.at
