Great presentation from Robert @KretschmerLab at the Department of Chemistry @uOttawa of his very cool chemistry. It was great to have him here at uOttawa for this short research collaborative stay. Thanks to @AvHStiftung for enabling such international collaboration.

@m_murugesu @uOttawa @AvHStiftung Thank you @m_murugesu for hosting me. It have been two wonderful weeks in Canada with plenty of scientific exchange. I enjoyed every minute! I am also very thankful to @AvHStiftung and TU CHEMnitz for support!

I really enjoyed my stay @WesternU
last week and they even had an office for me, so kind 😉

Many thanks to @marcuswdrover, @GilroyGroup and Johanna Blacquiere for the hospitality and the great discussions. And to the @AvHStiftung for financial support

There is a new aluminium(I) compound out there. Simon Schreiner went down in Group 13 and got a new member of the Fluind family. Great start of a joint project with Jens Beckman. Reactivity studies are underway - stay tuned!
Thanks to DFG for funding.

Today, our annual group trip took place. We hiked from the beautiful renaissance castle Wasserschloß Klaffenbach towards the brewery Einsiedel, where we got exposed to the details of brewing beer. Of course, the tour ended with a tasting of the various specialties they offer.

Another great scientist has been spotted here in #CHEMnitz. Mark @crimmingroup is around as a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Awardee of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Today he delivered a great talk on molecular editing today and sparked interesting discussions.

@LLL_lab_SUSTech Congratulations. Well deserved

[KretschmerLab @KretschmerLab]

@makoto_B Very nice, Makoto. 2026 + the year of aluminium

We joined forces with @harder_research and Michael Sommer @TUChemnitz and the results are now published in Dalton Transactions: https://t.co/gvpPNdCk3i

Give it a read if you are interested in bimetallics, ring-opening polymerization or both.
