A year ago, amid the pandemic, we proposed that @RoySocChem should compile a collection of Latin American contributions to chemistry. The collection was well received; 24 journals and 16 editors participated in the selection/1

I’m very pleased to share our new paper in @angew_chem. We integrate substituent effects into the classical Wade–Mingos rules for dicarboranes.
Analysis of 74,613 C2B4R6 clusters reveals that substituents (not only electron pairs) govern stability.

Our latest study explores the PES of the dianion B10H14(2-), revealing a more stable B10H10(2-)⋯2H2 complex, 21.5 kcal/mol lower in energy than the known arachno structure.

Kudos to @gerardo0339 @murillofmc @FOrtizChi @jbarrozom and Alejandro Vásquez

Zeise's salt, the first organometallic compound synthesized (1825), is σ-aromatic.

This study is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Ankur @AnkurKGuha, Marieta @mafernan9, and Mesias @MesiasOrozco, and has just been published in @InorgChem

So happy to share that my master’s research has been published! Big thanks to the team who made this journey such a rewarding one.🎉

[Gabriel Merino @theochemmerida]

Excited to share our new publication in Organic Chemistry Frontiers!

Together with @capvalr, Miguel Angel Vazquez, @APoater, and @OscarHalla, we explored the reactivity of 1,2,5-azadiborolidine derivatives toward CO.

Exciting news! Eyringpy 3.0 is now available. This release adds Variational Transition State Theory (VTST) and the Hindered Rotor Model for kinetic rate constants.

Sobre el peso de publicar en las revistas científicas -y el estigma de publicar fuera de ellas-, lean este artículo de Gabriel Merino @theochemmerida, en el que explica por qué es clave que la ciencia sea comunicable para todos los públicos https://t.co/o7PdCgUHGG

[Miguel A. Méndez-Rojas @nanoprofe]

Mi colega y amigo @theochemmerida escribió esta interesante columna de opinión sobre "El estigma de publicar (para un científico)" en @eleconomista
Vale la pena darle una buena leída.

Our new @JPhysChem paper explores C₂H₇NO isomers, identifying 8 structures incl. 1-aminoethanol (global min) & methylaminomethanol. Rotational constants and conformer data support ISM searches for N/O organics.

New paper in @PCCP! We explore the structure, bonding & reactivity of C₃H₂Au⁺, C₃HAu₂⁺ & C₃Au₃⁺. Cyclic isomers support the Au–H analogy & show aromatic 3c–2e π-bonding. C–Au covalency shapes reactivity.
