Our group at @polimi has still #PhD and #postdoc positions open on #organic #materials for catalysis and fine chemicals.
We have some very excited projects 😁- plus #Milan is a beautiful city to live and work!
Please send your CV and motivation letter to [email protected]

Would you like to use silyl radicals without having to expend all the energy necessary to make them?

Check out our preprint on low-barrier silyl radical transfer from a 3-center-3-electron adduct: https://t.co/zvKzz6WGD9

Our work on the development of structomers is now available as preprint: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2024-h09tl

Congratulations to the authors Qiming Jin, Paolo Cleto Bruzzese, Alessandro Vetere, Claudia Weidenthaler, Eko Budiyanto, Mir Henglin, Nils Nöthling and Alexander Schnegg!

The critical effect of metal arrangement on the behavior of metal sites is apparent from the large differences between the catalytic activity of structomers of rhodium containing MOPs and MOFs in propene hydrogenation.

[Neumann Lab @neumann_lab]

We show that a mobility-tuned synthesis strategy enables selective preparation of different “structomers”, which are isostructural and have identical composition. Since each structomer can be prepared with high selectivity, the effect of arrangements on properties can be tested.

We are looking for a postdoc to join our team!

Here is first author Leila Karam presenting her work at the German Catalysis meeting earlier this year – congratulations to Leila and all co-authors!

Here is our 1-step synthesis of highly dispersed metal phosphides on a variety of supports from cheap, easy-to-handle precursors. Ni2P/Al2O3 (1-step) can be made and stored without a glovebox and matches the performance of the Pd-based Lindlar catalyst: https://t.co/AdcPMboNKD

It has been a busy time lately – we celebrated Aamir’s marriage and met his wife, welcomed our new technician Daniel to the team, and the group demonstrated their athletic prowess in the Mülheim company run. Also lots of chemistry of course :-)

Congrats @yannickbraegger, @PaschkeAK, Nima Nasiri, @BenceBBotlik and @Ffelician99 for this masterpiece! Oxidative amination of unactivated alkenes via nitrogen atom insertion into carbon-carbon double bonds. @ChemRxiv - https://t.co/OIxeQJTb1s

A growing assumption is that using tetrafluoroborate as a counterion for diazonium salts results in safe and stable salts.

This assumption is not generally true, as also BF4-salts of aryldiazoniums have been reported to explode!

Stay safe!
