Looking for news in silicon chemistry?☺️🥳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Thrilled to have the first dinuclear rare earth metal complex containing a bridging 2,2′-azobispyridyl radical anion featured on the Outside Front Cover 😍😎🥳😊🎉. Thank you very much @ChemCommun! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Link to the paper: xlink.rsc.org/?DOI=D4CC03222E @MSUChem

Super excited to present a remarkable electronic situation of the benzene dianion 🤩😊🥳. Three new inverse-sandwich rare earth metal complexes are reported. Published in @angew_chem. This is the @GroupDemir's first Angewandte Chemie paper 😍. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… @MSUChem

Magic silicon 🥰Always fascinating to learn about the power of silicon-silicon double bonds. Nothing seems impossible. Check it out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@DemirSelly @J_A_C_S @GroupDemir @MSUChem Congrats Selvan: Great results!

Super excited to present the first isolable fluoflavine radical complexes 😊😎😍. We highlight the interplay of metal coordination, ligand oxidation state, aromaticity, covalency, and spin density transfer. Published in @J_A_C_S. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… @GroupDemir @MSUChem

@VPolshettiwar Congrats to the well deserved honor!!!

It was an immense honor to receive the Vigyan Yuva - Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award from the President of India.

An isolable phosphinidene oxide, you ask? That’s right!!! Check out Chenyang’s (@Chenyang__Hu) outstanding work out today in @NatureChemistry! Using steric bulk to help stabilise a highly reactive P(III)=O bond. nature.com/articles/s4155…

@angew_chem @KrossingGroup @Malte_Sellin Great work. Congrats Ingo and team!!

Utilizing the Perfluoronaphthalene Radical Cation as a Selective Deelectronator to Access a Variety of Strongly Oxidizing Reactive Cations (Ingo Krossing and co-workers) @KrossingGroup @Malte_Sellin #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congrats Artemis for awesome results! Just out her paper on Bis-silylenes at work in low-valent aluminum chemistry in Angewandte Chemie. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

ICHAC-14 in Tianjin: Barbecue with some of my former graduate students/postdocs (now professors in chinese universities and Munich ---Shigeyoshi Inoue) and two new postdocs. Thanks for a great retreat and I am very proud of your powerful work and success.

So much great science and gathering with rising stars in a few days. Thanks Chunming!!

ICHAC-14 in Tianjin (July 14-19): one of the top conferences I have ever been. Thanks to the masters of organization, in particular Zhenbo Mo and Chunming Cui 🥳😍

Enjoying new lessons in boron chemistry. Just out in JACS our paper on a conjugated B=B bond in a phenanthrene body 🥳pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Electro-Curious? 😊Check out the role of reconstruction of Ni:Fe oxyhydroxide in noble metal-free, e-catalytic water oxidation and more. Happy to share results from a great collaboration with the Menezes and Dau lab; just published in Adv. Energy Mater. doi.org/10.1002/aenm.2…

Honored and happy to see our article "Magnetic hysteresis and large coercivity in bisbenzimidazole radical-bridged dilanthanide complexes" among the most popular 2023 inorganic chemistry articles 😍🥳😎. Thanks so much @ChemicalScience and all readers 😊! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Happy to share that German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved our grant proposal on "Nitrogen fixation, (electro)reduction and functionalization based on silicon systems" Looking forward receiving applications of highly motivated, creative & talented postdocs & PhD students

Nice to meet you: I am a member of bottleable 1,3-disilapyrroles with a triplet ground state (S = 1). My spin-density distribution exhibits an asymmetric delocalization. Come and visit me. My postal address is in Nature Synthesis doi.org/10.1038/s44160…

Great to share with everyone our news in JACS on a tetracoordinate-planar silicon complex with a divalent silicon atom. Unlike other silylenes, the lone-pair of electrons at Si(II) is in a 3p-orbital. pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Here you can listen the iron heart beat in action:⚡️ uncovering the particular role and cooperativity of iron and cobalt in electrocatalytic water oxidation. We learned how iron (+IV) and even higher oxidation states matter to improve efficiency doi.org/10.1002/aenm.2…

I am happy to share a little overview on bis-silylene chemistry with you. pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…
