Happy to share our work published in @J_A_C_S Thanks to all co-authors @H_H_Hydrogen @satyabrata_1202 @kbeuthert @DehnenStefanie @ChemYildiz Chris, Haakon. Hritwik’s efforts, Satyabrata’s perseverance are the key players. Incredible collaborations indeed pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

The French community of supramolecular chemists is very saddened by the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, whose legacy is extraordinary. He's pictured here at the Supr@Lyon conference in 2018, an event that led to the creation of the Supr@SCF group. Our condolences to the Familly.

@ehtishamkhan209 Thank you for your reply, you are welcome to apply.

@RobinWeiss_chem @Universite_Caen Can a graduate to be apply?? As I am about to graduate by start of next year and Will be available in the desired time frame.

📣 We are looking for an Organic Chemist to work in Catalysis with main Group Elements 🧪🧑‍🔬. A Postdoctoral position is available at @Universite_Caen (France 🇫🇷), starting Feb.-June 2025. Details are below. weisslab.eu RT appreciated !

Excellent mechanochem! nature.com/articles/s4416…

We developed a novel reaction that enables a direct synthesis of amines from olefins via C=C bond cleavage. This process which we termed Triazenolysis represents an aza-version of ozonolysis reaction. Congrats to all involved @NatureChemistry @TechnionLive nature.com/articles/s4155…

長い戦いでしたが、ようやくここまで辿り着けました。鈴木研での八年間が詰まった論文です。見つけ出してくれた川口くんはじめ、鈴木先生、石垣さん、協力いただいた方々に感謝です。 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congrats to @WeiChunLiu2 whose most recent paper is out in @ScienceMagazine. Wei-Chun characterizes a P=O→Carbenium Lewis adduct in its inner and outer isomeric forms. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… "Characterization of a Lewis adduct in its inner and outer forms"

Our manuscript on carbodicarbene-stibenium ion-mediated C-H activation is now published in @angew_chem (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…)! Levi (@lwarring1994) reports reactions with acetonitrile and alkynes to give Sb-methylene nitrile and Sb-alkynyl products. @ChemistryMIT #maingroup
