Proud and thankful @NatureChem for inviting me to write a News & Views article on the beautiful praseodymium(V) complex published by @Storms_LaPierre (nature.com/articles/s4155…) Find our highlight "A high five for praseodymium" following this link #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4155…

We are hiring a new PhD student. If you are interested in working with f-elements (lanthanides) and early transition metals and love living in the mountains, feel free to apply using the following link. lfuonline.uibk.ac.at/public/karrier…

Delighted to share Frank Tambornino and my review of the "Historical and Recent Developments in the Chemistry of Cyanate Congeners" @InorgChem giving a detailed overview of cyanate development including recent chemistry of [OCAs], [SCP], [SCAs]. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Anilidophosphines are great supporting ligands in Group IV chemistry as shown by @MindiolaGroup. But how well are they suited for Group III metals? Read about some unexpected drawbacks and diverging behaviour with Sc, Y and La. aces.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/as…

Congratulations to Benjamin Wittwer for defending his PhD last Friday. First PhD of our group from Innsbruck. You have done a great job and really pushed forward our lanthanide chemistry! We wish you all the best for your future at Thyssen-Krupp.

Heavy cyanate chemistry holds multiple adventures/surprises. Here, we report [3+2] cycloaddition reactions using the [SCP] or [SCAs] anions, regioselectively forming new diphosphole or diarsole heterocycles. Read more in our first preprint of 2025: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Fantastic job opportunity with a great mentor!

It's well known that exchanging NHCs can have tremendous effects on catalyst activity/stability in late transition metal chemistry, but what about early transition metals? We are happy to share our latest insight to this question @InorgChemFront. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Very proud to share our latest article just published @DaltonTrans, opening a new field in the group: MIC and NHC complexes of molybdenum nitrides and their propensity to undergo nitrogen functionalisation reactions and electrochemical tunability. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Happy to share our latest results @InorgChem in anilidophosphine chemistry. Modular access to six new monoanionic PN ligands and their lanthanum complexes. Congratulations @WittwerBenjamin to this great work. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

@TheWolf_Group @TamborninoLab @WernckeGunnar @haenisch_group @DehnenStefanie Thanks Robert it was really nice. Great talks and results from your group.

@HohlochL @TamborninoLab @WernckeGunnar @haenisch_group @DehnenStefanie Enjoy!

Off for the Hirschegg Seminar in Kleinwalsertal. Looking forward to five days filled with science and hiking with @TamborninoLab @WernckeGunnar @haenisch_group @DehnenStefanie @TheWolf_Group , the Scheer group and the Radius group.

@DehnenStefanie @TamborninoLab @WernckeGunnar @haenisch_group @TheWolf_Group Sad that you could not make. Hopefully your schedule will be less busy in two years again. But I guess I‘ll see you at the Wöhler Conference in two weeks.

@HohlochL @TamborninoLab @WernckeGunnar @haenisch_group @TheWolf_Group I wish I could join. Not this time though (too many things in parallel…).

Great talk today by @TamborninoLab @uniinnsbruck Really great (and tiny) molecules, lots of exciting reactivities and some very cool crystal structures! Congrats to Frank and his team on these really great results and it was real fun to host you!

One week two Covers... Extremely proud, happy and thankful for the opportunity to promote our recent f-element chemistry @InorgChemFront (doi.org/10.1039/D4QI00…) and @ChemCommun (doi.org/10.1039/D4CC02…) as Front Covers on these excellent journals.

@StephenABoydPh1 And old friend of mine used to say: 99 % of the greatest inventions are not accompanied by the word "Heureka" but rather by "Uhh that's strange".

This has been happening to scientists for over 250 years, (arguably) beginning with Fleming, Jenner, Pasteur and Gregor Mendel (TMTL!). I personally LOVE stories like this. Luck favors the prepared mind!

Thrilled to share our latest paper @InorgChemFront. Starting from a NMR tube accidentally left in sunlight, it took 6 years to figure out why and how a P-C bond is broken by light giving access to fluorenyl radicals and diphosphines. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@BauerResearch @ParadiesGroup @DynamicsCondMat @TamborninoLab @MunzDominik Of course also a big thanks to the whole aatc @uniinnsbruck, namely @DielmannGroup Heidi Schwartz, Hubert Huppertz, Benno Bildstein and @liedl_lab for the warm welcome 4 years ago and the inspiring and great working atmosphere!

Also a big thanks to everyone who accompanied me on this way (@BauerResearch @ParadiesGroup @DynamicsCondMat @TamborninoLab, Laurent Maron, Florian Weigend, @MunzDominik and many more) this milestone wouldn’t be possible without all these great collaboration partners.

Today I published my 100th article which I am listed on as an author. A big thank to all my mentors (@SarkarAg and @arnoldgroupucb) for helping me to achieve this milestone so early in my career. This would not have been possible without your support and mentorship.
