Fresh out of the oven, in @angew_chem. That's what happens when you replace P with Sb.

Congrats to our very talented @DoniaToami99 👏👏!

[HwangGroup @HwangGroup]

Big move! 🚀
After an amazing journey at POSTECH, the Hwang Group has officially landed at KAIST as of March 2026. @KAIST_Chem

New lab, new energy, and plenty of exciting science ahead—can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings. Stay tuned 👀

Pleased to see this work finally out in JACS @J_A_C_S 🎂🎉
On a porphyrin platform, localized cations turn out to be a powerful handle for tuning activity–selectivity in molecular ORR.

Go take a look 👀

@olie_chem @RealTimeChem We needed to stir 4 reactions in J.Young tubes last night....and our solution was just to use a box 😺

Much less sophisticated than yours, @olie_chem...but it still works!

@BroereDaniel @CPostech Thanks for the fabulous talk, Danny (@BroereDaniel)! We were glad to have you at @CPostech today 😃

[HwangGroup @HwangGroup]

@ConradGoodwin @CPostech Yes! @ConradGoodwin

We used a heat gun to accomplish the hot filtration and the transfer to a vial (very carefully!).

We knew this trick works really well with potassium due to its low mp (mp=63°C), but this was our first time trying with sodium (mp =98°C) and it worked!

So shiny...! ✨

All π and no σ? Check out @jsandersonlab's latest work reevaluating the bonding in pseudotetrahedral oxo and imide complexes (https://t.co/1DZHbGYpwW). Part of the upcoming @InorgChem Forum on Advances in Small-Molecule Activation!

[Robinson Group @JRRatBrown]

A (very belated, but) huge congratulations is in order to Natasha Vargo, @UMLehnertgroup, and Zahid Ertem (@BrookhavenLab) for the latest paper in @angew_chem on Ca(II) mediated isomerization of copper peroxides! Check out the 'Just Accepted' article: https://t.co/cNhMdr2MQT.

[Ian Tonks @ianatonks]

Happy to share our latest, a perspective in @ChemicalScience on heterocycle synthesis with early- and mid-transition metals! Congrats to the team for putting in a lot of hard pandemic work. We learned a lot writing this! https://t.co/pNBh8tpoLY

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could snap together an alkene and an amine to make an aziridine? Now you can! Check out our new electrochemical dication pool strategy to synthesize diverse N-alkyl aziridines by coupling amines and alkenes. Read now in @nature https://t.co/pS52C472lm

Don't store sodium azide waste in a former diethyl ether aluminum bottle. Thankfully no one was hurt and nothing was damaged but this was quite an alarming bang. @Chemjobber

[Sebastien Vidal @SebVidalChem]

Sodium azide is a nasty yet common chemical reagent.
BUT
DO NOT use metallic spatula when weighing 💥, use plastic tea spoon for instance.
DO NOT use in dichloromethane 💥.
Avoud any acidic media to prévention HN3 as a neurotoxic gas 💀☠.
