Folks, book chapters do not get nearly enough love. Check out these wellsprings of knowledge:

Guanidinate Ligands (and more!):

A huge acknowledgement to Prof. Ellis, whose pioneering work on d-block arene complexes paved the way for this chemistry.

Hearing one ACS talk by him, more than 20 years ago, planted the seed of inspiration for this project.

Never meet your heroes, unless they are John Ellis.

Over a decade in the making, we are thrilled to finally share our work on homoleptic uranium arenocenes.

Check it out in ChemRxiv:

A terrific collaborative effort @bessvlai @m_murugesu

@WernckeGunnar Took us a while, but we finally got there:

@WernckeGunnar Can never match the greatness that is Ellis, but we will give it our best try!

Stay tuned for Part 3, might be the best of the series. 😌

Why would you change something that wasn't broken?

@GriceChemistry It would be reasonable to notify them as a professional courtesy.

[Fortier Laboratory @FortierLab]

@GriceChemistry Wow, that is impressive and very helpful. Thank you!

[Fortier Laboratory @FortierLab]

We have a reaction that may be producing CH4 and/or CH3D. Can this be resolved by mass spec?

If so, does anyone have this capability?

[Fortier Laboratory @FortierLab]

@GriceChemistry We will be doing this, but a concern is that the concentrations will be too low. Also, would be nice to have an additional technique to corroborate the NMR.

[Fortier Laboratory @FortierLab]

Our grad student Frank MacGregor has moved from making trans-ylides of uranium to cis-carbenes. Check out his latest, joined by first year Jose Tarula-Marin, hot off the presses in @InorgChem

Fantastic first #ACSSpring2024 meeting. I was honored to receive the #PromiseinComp award and present my research at the #WomenMakeCOMP symposium. @ACSCOMP. Truly inspiring stories from outstanding women in comp chemistry #mentors #CompChem #Chemistry #phdlife #AcademicChatter
