A hexavalent nickel complex! Reductive addition of three Be-Be bonds at Ni(0) produces Ni(BeCp)6. @GroupAldridge

I’m delighted our collaborative work with @StephanieJUrwin @cowley_group has been published in @EurJIC ! Here are some fun new alkyl-Mg complexes with tuneable phosphaamidinate ligands that show lactide ROP activity: https://t.co/DZZPZao1Mo @EdinburghChem @GardenGroupChem

Researchers synthesised Ph4Pn by oxidising Mg[Ph4Pn] with one equivalent of iodine, which created a MgI2 precipitate within minutes.

[Clare Bakewell @bakewellgroup]

📢 We have a PhD position available in our lab exploring main group compounds and their reactivity.

We are very happy for people to contact us with informal enquires!

I am running a survey to understand Schlenk line design preferences and to gather information about techniques/training.

Please do take some time to complete the survey and share with others!

[Clare Bakewell @bakewellgroup]

Imogen’s work investigating a transient Al(I) species is now available online as an accepted article in @ChemCommun - supported by Mickey and some serendipitous crystal growing by Juliana. Congratulations @imo_squire 💥

[Simon Schreiner @SimonSchreiner9]

Delighted to share my work on a singly bonded gallanediyl, which is able to undergo carbometalation reactions with alkynes by retention of the +I oxidation state.

@LGeciauskas @ChemicalScience Amazing, huge congratulations Lukas!

[Dr. Niko A. Jenek @PentaleNiko]

Now in full dress and included in the latest issue of @ChemicalScience: The understanding and tuning of pentalenides 🧠🎚 ☺🎉. For more than 60 years unthinkable, one of my thesis chapters introduced flexible designing & tuning to this ligand. 📣

[Crimmin Group @crimmingroup]

New @ChemRxiv from Marina Perez-Jimenez and @RoesslerGroup is now out. It describes the isolation, characterisation, and electronic structure of a Paramagnetic Nickel-Zinc Hydride Complex, along with hints that such species may be relevant in catalysis. https://t.co/uK986oev7w

[³¹P NMR @31P_NMR]

Very cool work by @InoueGroupTUM in @angew_chem on P₄ reduction by base-stabilised dialumenes and onward functionalisation to give phosphines!

[Matt @mattd_t]

Nice to see this work is out from my PhD group! Was always a big fan of recycling our BDI ligands (cus I could never be bothered to synthesise fresh batches 😅)
Good work @dong_huanhuan and everyone else!

[Josef Boronski @JosefBoronski]

We've polarized the Be-Be bond! Our latest investigations into low-oxidation state beryllium chemistry have just been published in @NatureChemistry. @GroupAldridge @OxfordChemistry

[Imogen S @imo_squire]

Two PhD applications now open to come and work in the Bakewell group! Come and join us - we're a friendly bunch and are excited to welcome new members to the lab! Clare is a great supervisor and these projects are an opportunity to work on some very cool main group chemistry 🧪👩‍🔬

[Clare Bakewell @bakewellgroup]

We have two exciting PhD opportunities available in our group working in the field of main group chemistry - both are open to UK and international applicants 🌍 

Please email me to organise informal discussions about the projects. Retweets appreciated 🔁

[Schäfer Group @orgmet_Schaefer]

I am happy to share that our paper on the first heterobimetallic dimetallocene is finally published in @NatureChemistry!
https://t.co/tacPIUVXcX
Thank you to everyone who contributed, most importantly Inga Bischoff, who did the experimental work, as well as @ICCGroup2 @Tetidanes!

[Bill Motsch PhD @billthechemist]

Do you identify as "electrocurious"? Here's a list of helpful reviews I found when I was starting out with electrochemistry. By no means a complete list of everything out there, but these were some of my most accessed and cover a very broad range of topics (1/10)

Season 2 of @periodically_ox launches today.

Episode 1 has a really thoughtful discussion of endometriosis, touching on the themes of chronic illness and the ambiguous employee/student situation of a PhD candidate ([how] can you take sick leave?).
