@isra_group @GoicoecheaGroup @ChemicalScience @DanielPinardo @algarciaromero Congratulations!!

Check out our last collaboration with @GoicoecheaGroup just accepted in @ChemicalScience on Exceptionally large “through-space” nuclear spin coupling in a 2,4,6-tri(phosphanyl)-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene @DanielPinardo @algarciaromero pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@isra_group @J_A_C_S @TortosaLab Congratulations to the team

🔥🔥🔥Just accepted in @J_A_C_S the result of our last collaboration with @TortosaLab on homoallylation reagents👇 Always a pleasure to work with you, Mariola! Looking forward to the next

Delighted to tell everyone that one of my former students, Dr. Vipin Raj K @VipinRajK3 has secured a permanent faculty position at Christ University, Bengaluru. Congratulations, Vipin, and best wishes for this exciting new chapter of your life!!! @csir_ncl @KumarVanka1

@VipinRajK3 @ANRFIndia @jncasr Many congratulations 👍

Can p-block metal co-doping boost transition metal catalysis? Our 𝑺𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 paper reveals that Co–Ga–N₆–G and Co–Sn–N₆–G are the most efficient bifunctional catalysts among all tested systems. Thanks to @ANRFIndia (funding) and @jncasr Article link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

@ShailjaJain15 Many many congratulations and all the best for this new exciting chapter!!!

Thrilled to join VIT-AP Univ as Assist. Prof. in Chemistry! I’m excited to contribute to teaching & research. grateful for my journey, PhD to Humboldt Postdoc & support of family, friends, & mentors. Looking forward to contributing, learning, building impactful collaborations.

@isra_group @angew_chem @DrFelixKraemer @UCM_OrgChem Great work. Congratulations!
