We posted our latest paper about a Y-shaped dianionic Al4 molecule featuring a negative charge close to -2 to ChemRxiv. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.26…

Happy to have been able to contribute to the DFT aspects of this paper. Glad to see it out!

Want to read about some of the highlights in the broad field of coordination chemistry from 2025? Look no further! gdch.app/article/nebeng… Put together by myself and (Twitterless) Gabi Hierlmeier 🧪

Come work with us! Fully funded 3.5 year PhD available in the group working with an industrial partner (Matnex) on inorganic chemistry for ALD of p-Type semiconductors. findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Thrilled to share a first publication of the group! We report on cadmium aluminyls that find application as Cd-nucleophiles and(!) Al(I)-Transfer reagents. Now out in @J_A_C_S ! Thanks to @chemieverband for the generous funding of our research. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excited to see this work published today in @J_A_C_S , fun chemistry and a real group effort here by @clairemcmullin , @Morales_Chem, @murcoswift and big Mike! (@BathChem) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Just published! Interested in metallic thin films produced by CVD? Today we report on the deposition of extremely conformal and atomically pure metallic nickel thin films. Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Back at the University of York for the next couple of days to run some Gas Electron Diffraction experiments with the Wann Group.

We’re excited to share the next step in our pursuit of weak ligands: the successful coordination of an alkane and characterisation and isolation of its complex. Many thanks to our cooperation partners at the UNSW Sydney, who made the characterisation in solution possible

Come work with us! Fully funded PhD position, working on organometallic/inorganic chemistry for production of p-type semiconductors using ALD, available in Oct 2025 in our group, working in collaboration with Matnex. findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Seeking passionate chemists who wants to challenge the octet rule! We have Postdoc and PhD positions open at NUS @NUSingapore. Check out our website for more details! 😊 yklohlab.com

🚨Upcoming postdoc position🚨 Thanks to @LeverhulmeTrust we will soon be recruiting a new PDRA to study some unusual redox-active Lewis acid chemistry. Full advert to follow soon, but in the meantime please feel free to get in touch if interested!

Our latest SMOM paper now out in @J_A_C_S. Single-crystal to single-crystal methane and ethane activation at an Ir-pincer complex. Molecular solid-state reactivity, neutron-diffraction, SSNMR, Periodic-DFT & inverse isotope effects. With @MacgregorChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@FeetoOrourke @MattWhitmanTMBH I tend to agree. Whole video is really well edited and the pace and content is all excellent, but the Matt still shots can be a bit distracting. Personally, I say live action or none, but maybe other people love it. Either way, keep up the good work

@MattWhitmanTMBH I think I have a preference for live action Matt, but the rest of the animations look great

Feedback request: Is this style of video useful for you? Too fast? Too much? Should be longer? Goes on too long? Even if we've never Internet met, I'd be grateful for your thoughts.

An exciting opportunity for a PhD in organometallic chemistry and catalysis in my group, in close collaboration with Simon Duckett and an industry sponsor. findaphd.com/phds/project/h…

We have an exciting collaborative PhD project about to be advertised in my lab on Harnessing Organometallic Catalysis to Optimise Clinical Diagnostics using Hyperpolarisation, with Simon Duckett (York) and NVision (Germany).

Potential PhD funding (part of an internal competition) in the group to look at designing new heteromultimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction: tinyurl.com/HetMetCO2 If you’re into the interface between computation and organometallic chemistry please apply!

@MarkStradiotto Regen every 6 months!*

@MarkStradiotto At York we had two boxes on house N2, which was from the LN2 boil off. No concerns with O2/H2O levels (sensors always read >0.1 ppm, catalyst regen once a month). If I remember correctly, the outlet pressure was around 5 bar gauge, and had no problems with the solenoid valves.

Chem-peeps: Do any of you have experience using house N2 to run catalyst enabled gloveboxes? How is appropriate delivery pressure to fire the solenoids achieved, etc? Bad idea? Good idea? 😂
