My latest blog for VACUUBRAND is now online:

https://t.co/eV6RuiZyVK

This focuses on vacuum requirements for Schlenk line applications, and discusses the uses of vacuum when performing air/moisture-sensitive chemistry, and options for vacuum pumps, measurement and control.

Heavy alkaline earth CAAC complexes - new group paper out now in @InorgChem! Fantastic (and tricky!) synthetic work by @alex_bowles_33 and @YuLiu1991, and calculations by @MattPStevens789. Well done all! https://t.co/PsQxRR6XJ0 @Leicesterchem

@DarrenWillcox @OfficialUoM Very interesting! How new are they?

[Darren Willcox @DarrenWillcox]

If metal-ligand multiple bonding with low-valent iron complexes or metal-free dichlorocyclopropanation using sulfonium salts interests you, the President’s / Deans Doctoral Scholarships are open. Please contact me directly via email.

@ChemistrySussex @angew_chem Lovely stuff, reminds me of the old days in the Layfield lab

[Andreas Phanopoulos @andreasinthesky]

Potential PhD funding (part of an internal competition) in the group to look at designing new heteromultimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction: https://t.co/lY9c5T73KA

If you’re into the interface between computation and organometallic chemistry please apply!
