Bismuto Lab

Thanks very much for the nice highlight!!

Very excited to share our new work on extended salphen ligand for CO2 electron reduction. Congrats to all the authors and the collaborators for the fantastic team work. doi.org/10.1002/chem.7…

@vkrbek Thanks Larissa 🤩

@BismutoLab Congratulations to you both! 🥳 This is truly special!

A proud milestone for our research group: Andre, the first PhD student to graduate from my lab! It has been a privilege to watch his growth as a scientist. Wishing him every success in this next chapter. 🎓👏

@CamposGroup Congrats Jesus!! Great work! There is still a lot to be done with MG and light! 💡

Excited to share our last work 🥳🥳🥳. A photoexcited triplet Ge that lasts hours and, while being there, breaks a few molecules, including benzene. We hope you like it. Our feeling: there's plenty of space for discovery on low-valent MG photochemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

From Sb and Bi to Germanium… congrats to Sangita André, Prasenjit and Celine. Big thanks to Toni and Rosa for the collaboration pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

📣I have a PhD position in main group chem @UVic. Project areas⬇️ Start: 09/26, 01/27, or 04/27. Must have: completed/in-progress research-based MSc in MainGroup/Organomet/Inorg chem + strong academic record. Open globally. Email CV + cover letter: bit.ly/4rLSFonPls RT!

@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…
