We are thrilled to see our research on Recyclable Pt-Catalyzed Biphase Hydrosilylation on Water published in @angew_chem as a hot paper 🔥https://t.co/nbjJWQ5tH8
One representative example of asymmetric catalysis enabled by spirosilacycle-based ligands. Using the newly developed SPSiOP, we have realized enantioselective hydrosilylation of diverse allenes via nickel catalysis. Just out @angew_chem Check out: https://t.co/HDUtf2oMKp
Nitroalkanes now act as alkenylating agents! See the recent work of Subhajit @Subhaji27919302 from @LabMukherjee@iiscbangalore in @J_A_C_S on atroposelective C(sp2)-H alk(en)ylation: https://t.co/cRvbKrLsoJ
After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️

A Missed Opportunity for Transformation.
During the 2023 presidential campaign, I presented Nigerians with an alternative vision. Our manifesto proposed a $10 billion economic stimulus programme, a bold, people-centred intervention that would have used the savings from subsidy removal to directly transform the lives of Nigerians. This plan was designed to create millions of jobs across agriculture, manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure. It would have lifted millions out of poverty, provided targeted support to the most vulnerable, and ignited the kind of economic activity that grows the tax base organically.
A stimulus of that scale, properly implemented, would have generated far more revenue for government than any tax increase ever could, because it would have been earned from a growing, productive economy rather than extracted from an impoverished, shrinking one. It would have meant that the pain of subsidy removal was temporary, giving way to a period of genuine renewal, renewal of opportunity, of employment, of hope. Instead, Nigerians were given a coastal highway awarded without due process to a presidential buddy. The contrast between these two visions, one centred on the people, one centred on self, could not be starker.
A Message to Nigerian Workers.
On this Workers' Day, I want to speak directly to the men and women who wake up every morning and go to work in spite of everything: the civil servants who have not received their full entitlements, the traders whose goods no one can afford to buy, the factory workers whose employers are closing shop, the teachers and medical personnel holding together systems that government is failing to adequately fund. You are not invisible. Your suffering is not a statistic. It is real, it is documented, and it is a direct consequence of a trial-and-error policy choices made by those entrusted with the responsibility to serve you.
Nigeria's working people did not cause this crisis. They did not vote for impoverishment. They voted for hope, and that hope was taken from them. They deserve leadership that spends the nation's resources on their welfare, not on opaque mega-projects that serve the well-connected. They deserve a government that measures its success by their living standards, not by the size of its spending, the growth of its debt, or the breadth of its patronage networks. Nigeria can and must do better. The resources exist. The talent exists. What is lacking is the will to govern for all Nigerians rather than for the few.
A Call for Real Renewal.
Nigeria can, and must do better. The resources exist. The talents abound. What is lacking is the will to govern for all, not just for a privileged few.
On this Workers' Day, I reaffirm my commitment to building a Nigeria where the dignity of labour is matched by its reward m, where hard work pays, where honesty is protected, and where government truly serves the people.
The Nigerian worker deserves genuine renewal, not the Orwellian version. A renewal that is tangible, measurable and real. Not as a slogan. But as a lived reality. -AA
@Boron_Chemistry@ChemEurJ Congratulations 🎉
Please, was the stereoselectivity of the olefin products also found to increase as expected with the regioselectivity..
Siletanes and phosphrtanes, cool... Guess the trifluoromethyl groups usual suspects in driving stability and increased sp2-hybridized heterocyclic intermediates?
