@j_casadog Great to see your enthusiasm, Julia, glad to have you with us.

[Martínez Group @GroupMartinez]

Growing the team!
Delighted to welcome Julia Casado @j_casadog to our group at @UniHuelva

Julia joins our supramolecular main-group metal cages programme. Looking forward to the chemistry ahead.

Bravo! We are very excited to see this gallyl–gold chemistry for ammonia activation out.

Well done @hellen_videa, fantastic tandem work with @keelan542, and a great collaboration with @TobiKraemer

🔥Hot Paper in @angew_chem!
Counterion control unlocks nucleophilic gallyl anions, enabling unsupported Ga–Au chemistry for NH₃ activation

Work led by @hellen_videa in our group, in collaboration with @TobiKraemer and @keelan542
