Folks, book chapters do not get nearly enough love. Check out these wellsprings of knowledge: Guanidinate Ligands (and more!): tinyurl.com/2p82t8rt Group 4 Arenes: tinyurl.com/43tawakk Pentavalent Uranium: tinyurl.com/5azzb8nk

.@ACSPublications Here is a video showing just how unworkable the new search box is: Why would you change something that wasn't broken?

.@ACSPublications why did you break your search box? Where is the year, volume, page number dropdown?

Come and join our team! We are looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis. Find out more: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit… The deadline to apply is 26th April 2024. Reposts appreciated!

@GriceChemistry It would be reasonable to notify them as a professional courtesy.

I am now writing a paper on it to submit to the same journal. My questions are: Should I reach out to the authors before submission? Do I offer them to join me as co-authors if they agree with my correction (they could do an experiment or two to confirm)? 2/2

Thread: Dear Chemists and other scientists. I want your opinion. I found a paper by a prestigious group in a prestigious journal that has some weird proposals. I could have disproven them based on literature alone, but I have done theory and experiment to back up my rebuttal. 1/n

@GriceChemistry Wow, that is impressive and very helpful. Thank you!

@FortierLab This was on a 500 MHz.

We have a reaction that may be producing CH4 and/or CH3D. Can this be resolved by mass spec? If so, does anyone have this capability?

@GriceChemistry We will be doing this, but a concern is that the concentrations will be too low. Also, would be nice to have an additional technique to corroborate the NMR.

@FortierLab You can integrate them by NMR if you produce them in a J-Young style NMR

Fully funded postdoc position available at beautiful Okinawa 🪸🐠 Starting October, 2024 or earlier 🗓️ If you're interested in organometallic chemistry and catalysis, please contact me 📨

The Neidig lab will soon be advertising a 3 year PDRA position on iron-catalysed C-H activation chemistry with a focus on mechanistic studies and catalyst development @OxfordChemistry. Informal inquiries are welcome.

Hey #chemtwitter, there is still time to apply for a PhD position in my group in beautiful Tübingen focused on early transition metal chemistry and sustainability. Deadline to apply is 31.03. If you are interested, feel free to contact me for more details! #PhD #PhDPositions

Four decades after the first U=C uranium phosphacarbene was reported, @FortierLab introduces the first metallocene uranium bis(phosphacarbene) and examines its reactivity--part of our Rare Earth and Actinide Ligand-Metal Special Issue pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #Chemistry #Research

In case you are interested in Frank's trans-ylide work: #f0040" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our grad student Frank MacGregor has moved from making trans-ylides of uranium to cis-carbenes. Check out his latest, joined by first year Jose Tarula-Marin, hot off the presses in @InorgChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

It is our pleasure to announce that Chad Hoyer from the Li Group at UW will be joining @UTEPCHEMISTRY this Fall as our new computational colleague. linkedin.com/in/chadehoyer Welcome aboard, Chad! We are excited to have you as a colleague and collaborator.

Fantastic first #ACSSpring2024 meeting. I was honored to receive the #PromiseinComp award and present my research at the #WomenMakeCOMP symposium. @ACSCOMP. Truly inspiring stories from outstanding women in comp chemistry #mentors #CompChem #Chemistry #phdlife #AcademicChatter

Breaking the bonds that tie us together: The @FortierLab reports the photoinduced cleavage of a strained N-C bond in a super bulky iron complex pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@Debabrata_iacs @InorgChem One more super bulky iron paper to go, right @Debabrata_iacs?

@FortierLab @InorgChem Congratulations to the team.

We are happy to share our latest Fe-super bulky paper that is out in @InorgChem today Way to go Asiel, Ricky, and the whole team! #chemistry #iron #utep #inorganic pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
