The latest from the group and our own Ben Sinclair in collaboration with the Gutierrez group at UCLA. Another exploration of the wonders of three-component cross-couplings with iron!

New group picture time!!!....we have gotten a bit bigger 😀 Thrilled to be able to work with such a talented group of chemists.

Congratulations to our very own Maria Healy for winning a prize for her talk at the recent DYME meeting in Southampton. Fantastic work and well done!!!

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

The group had a wonderful time participating in the DYME meeting in Southampton last week. Thanks to all the organisers for putting on such an outstanding event for early career chemists! @OxfordChemistry

@olie_chem Really nice iron(I) chemistry…congratulations!!!

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

An exciting collaboration with @deRuiterLabs and @Aromaticist, a few years in the making. Aryl-aryl cross-couplings with iron can proceed via radical pathways using a PCP pincer supporting ligand.

A wonderful Christmas celebration with a talented group of chemists! So grateful to this group for all their hard work and looking forward to a wonderful 2026!

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

Congratulations to Alexis Bauer for passing her PhD defense yesterday! Started in Rochester, moved with the group to Oxford and did some outstanding iron (and uranium) chemistry along the way. Thanks to Simon Aldridge (Oxford) and Bill Jones (Rochester) for doing the honours.

Second, we have a cool project on Pushing the Boundaries of Low-Valent Earth-Abundant Organometallics for Chemical Synthesis together with my colleague at Oxford Tim Donohoe as part of the IMAT CDT. The application window is now open (https://t.co/wmU1SsHzCT)

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

Exciting DPhil opportunities in the Neidig group at Oxford for 2026. First up, we have a fun project as part of the CSHP CDT on Base-Metal Catalysed Enatioselective Construction of Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters with J&J. Application deadline 14 Nov (https://t.co/s1iTqN2KQr)

The last stop on the tour of Spain was today in Alcala. Had a wonderful time travelling the country over the past two weeks. It truly is a special place for organometallic chemistry. Looking forward to many return trips in the future.

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

Had a wonderful visit to Valladolid yesterday. Thanks Ana for being such a wonderful host and to all the students for their excellent questions. A lot of fun!

[The Neidig Lab @TheNeidigLab]

Talk 4 of the GEQO lecture tour took me to Castellon and Universitat Jaume I for a wonderful day of meetings with students and faculty. Thanks to Eduardo Peris for being such a gracious host and for the excellent paella!

[Graham de Ruiter @deRuiterLabs]

Now reporting with @Aromaticist in @angew_chem. A combined computational and experimental study into Iron Catalyzed Alkene Metathesis!
