Noch eine Woche bis zur Deadline 31.1. für die Nominierung des Klung-Wilhelmy Wissenschaftspreises!

RIP to one of the giants in the field of fluorine chemistry, David Dixon. eurasc.eu/in-memoriam-pr…

I'm delighted to announce our research group will be moving to @FU_Berlin this March. We are excited to be a part of an amazing faculty with incredible colleagues. A huge thanks to @MpiciPotsdam and @peterseeberger for the support over the years! It has been greatly appreciated

Die Ausschreibung für den Klung-Wilhelmy Wissenschaftspreis 2026 in Chemie ist out. 31.1 ist Deadline zur Nominierung! Er gehört zu den höchstdotierten, privat finanzierten Auszeichnungen für jüngere Naturwissenschaftler:innen in Deutschland. Details: klung-wilhelmy-wissenschafts-preis.de/ausschreibung/…

Great video to get to know #fluorine and its chemistry!! Amazing work by @Pontebata and @RiedelLab. And of course a big shoutout to @NiklasLimberg for the impressive technique ;) Gran vídeo para dar a conocer el flúor y su química a los hispanohablantes! No os lo perdáis :)

We are very happy and proud that our paper about the synthesis/application of perhalo trityl radicals is now out in @J_A_C_S. Great cooperation with @EiglerLab and @ReschGenger Lab at BAM. New applications ahead! Great job of Johanna Schlögl and team pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

🎁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.

@GavinCTsui @WSS_Stiftung Thanks Gavin 😉

@RiedelLab @WSS_Stiftung Big congrats! I have held the tube in my hand like a precious treasure 😊

We are very happy that the @WSS_Stiftung is supporting our project "WSS Resources"! We will develop new chemical systems for converting sustainable resources over the next 10 years. Thanks to all supporters over the last two years. For more details see: fu-berlin.de/presse/informa…

@FMILyon @WSS_Stiftung Thanks ;)

@RiedelLab @WSS_Stiftung Congratulations

@BessetTatiana Thanks, we are also very happy that it has been worked out 😉

congratulations Sébastien, very impressive

Congratulations to Dr. Moritz Malischewski @m_malischewski, winner of the AG Fluorchemie publication award 2025! Very well deserved.

All good things come to an end. Two wonderful and exciting days at our Conference @fluor_crc1349. Fantastic talks: Haag, Billard, Pomerantz, Braun, @GavinCTsui, Lennox, @m_malischewski, @DuttonChemistry, @CornellaLab, @ChristianLimb19 , @Johnjmol, Haut, Teschers, @AlbertPebi

An excellent second day of the 3rd Berlin Summer School in Fluorine Chemistry @fluor_crc1349! Thanks to all speakers, Jeinsen, @DuttonChemistry, @m_malischewski, @Johnjmol, Pomerantz, and Riedl. We look forward for the following fluorine conference the next two days @FUBerlin.

Perhaps a little late. In any case, it was a great conference @MGERC_unamur at Uni. Namur. Thanks @Dr_Berionni and team for this fantastic event!

If you need more details, have look to our recent article @green_rsc 😉 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I'm very happy to see that our article on the coupling of the chemistry and energy sectors has now been published in a more general public format @spektrum. I hope everybody enjoys and understands the possibilitie😉 Thanks @WSS_Stiftung and FUB for support #Echobox=1757074395" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spektrum.de/news/chlor-wie…

We have reached almost the end of this fabulous session. To wrap up, we have a fascinating plenary talk by @RiedelLab from @FU_Berlin about the Chemistry of halogens and their compounds. Dive in with us into the world of halogen, cheers!

Great conference in a wonderful town 😉
