Trying to find the resonance between theoretical and experimental chemistry

Excited to share our latest work on the formation of S-F bonds in three distinct classes of compounds using ex-situ generated chlorine gas. Interesting post-functionalizations as well as computational studies complement the work. Feel free to take a look! https://t.co/CE1u8LEjmD

[Ruben Van Lommel @VanLommelRuben]

From a simple lab observation to one of our largest collaborative efforts🤝 Great to see the last chapter of my PhD on triggerless supramolecular gelation published in @Gels_MDPI!! Thanks to all involved @Johannes_PhD @Rocha_Lab @ALGC_VUB and @MolDesignS. https://t.co/lHckmOlliO

Interested in all supramolecular things, I cannot stress the fundamental implications of this work enough. I will have to re-evaluate my precious MEPs when introducing the infamous sigma-hole... Are any noncovalent interactions safe ?🤯 Amazing work @LucasAzdS @VU_TheoCheM!

[Lucas de Azevedo Santos @LucasAzdS]

Our work in @ChemEurJ explains how the sigma-hole model is based on unphysical assumptions and should be abandoned! It can’t explain the nature, strength, or directionality of intermolecular bonds.

Bing-Yu Li presenting our results on ex situ thiazyl trifluoride generation for application in SuFEx chemistry. Proud to be, together with @JoaDemaerel, the promoter of this talented PhD student. Thanks also to #mocs2022 to give PhD students a forum.

[Ruben Van Lommel @VanLommelRuben]

One thing great about academia, is the variety of people you meet and collaborate with.💪 @javialra97 and @OjedaCarralero formed the backbone of this collaboration and I'm happy to see this DFT-based 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition study published @EurJOC. https://t.co/j1RZ1LVg0f

Our latest @ChemRxiv on S-F bond forging is online. Amazing amount of work delivered by @ArmirZogu, @Reza_Kordnezhad and @VanLommelRuben with some nice simulations! Big thanks to @FWOVlaanderen for the funding! Stay tuned for follow-up methodology! @MolDesignS

[MolDesignS Lab @MolDesignS]

Very happy to share via ChemRxiv a preview of our latest results on S-F bond formation chemistry using two chamber reactors

[Ruben Van Lommel @VanLommelRuben]

Happy to see this work👇 appear in its final form in @ChemEurJ !🔥 It was an absolute pleasure working together and learning from the @chaplinlab. Stay tuned and follow @NilRoigVidal for more exciting 🧪+🖥️work on metalcarbonyls in the future.

Onlangs schreef ik een populariserend artikel over ons onderzoek @MolDesignS en @ALGC_VUB voor @eos_wetenschap. Enorm uitdagend om helder uit te leggen hoe we machine learning gebruiken om nieuwe materialen te ontdekken. Benieuwd hoe ik dit vergelijk met een speurhond?🐶=🖥️

[Eos Wetenschap vzw @eos_wetenschap]

20 jaar, zo lang duurt het totdat een nieuw ontdekt materiaal in onze rekken ligt. @VanLommelRuben, deelnemer aan de PhD Cup @SciMingo, optimaliseerde dit proces door machine learning modellen te trainen om de meest veelbelovende moleculen op te sporen. https://t.co/4otpgPC6Ea

[SciMingo @SciMingo]

.@VanLommelRuben zoekt in het lab naar 'supramoleculaire gellen'; nieuwe, veelbelovende #materialen om o.a. water te zuiveren. Zo'n gellen worden vandaag vooral per toeval ontdekt. Door computers in te schakelen, wil Ruben ze sneller opsporen 👉 https://t.co/yN7jbNDeYo

Hi @CBOND2022online! I'm happy to share and discuss with you our last work combining experiments and theory to further understand the M–CO bond.

#CBOND2022poster

This work has been recently accepted in @ChemEurJ and you can read it open-access here: https://t.co/OiD2kM2Mgn

[Ruben Van Lommel @VanLommelRuben]

@JVerwilt Merci, Jasper! 😄

[Ruben Van Lommel @VanLommelRuben]

More than excited to have been selected as a participant for the Flemish #PhDCup!🤩 Looking to advance my #SciComm skills and learn more about public outreach. Do check out the profiles of all the candidates and their research👇 (in Dutch)

I had the chance to present and discuss a bit of what I'm doing in my first poster at @DFT2022BXL!

Really happy about it 🌈
