A 100,000-Fold Increase in C–H Bond Acidity Gives Palladium a Key Advantage in C(sp3)–H Activation Compared to Nickel | Journal of the American Chemical Society @UniBonn@RutgersU@demyanpro@tkschramm https://t.co/vAT7TAa8G0
The long-anticipated g-xTB paper was just released on ChemRxiv. g-xTB is the next semiempirical method from Grimme and co-workers at @UniBonn. (I've heard rumors about this work for almost two years.)
Here's some quick thoughts upon an initial read:
(1/n) Excited to share my work with @mhg_group & W. H. Green group @ MIT “Revisiting a large and diverse data set for barrier heights and reaction energies: best practices in density functional theory calculations for chemical kinetics” published in @PCCP!

Just in time for 2025: Our new @J_A_C_S paper, introducing "regioisomeric engineering" for stabilizing multi-electron organic flow batteries via charge and spin density redistribution as tracked by DFT! #compchem

Looking forward to seeing Isomnium again in Aachen and Cologne😁 This time with the *newly formed* German metal crew @JosieHendrix18, missing the American Vikings, though😭🤘🏼
Deliberately wore my Insomnium band shirt for the new group pic, as a memento from the concert I attended with former group members, @tkschramm, @JosieHendrix18, and @james_shee. It's saddening that they're no longer with us, but I'll still carry on @mhg_group's metalhead spirit!
New lab website is online! https://t.co/HeWMRo1uVL Please share with prospective students and postdocs with interest and experience in quantum theory and code development. Multiple positions available over the next few years, starting July 1st! @ChemistryRice@RiceUniversity
A rant: normally I am a mild and calm person, but there are moments of rage. The recent JACS retraction on hydroamination from the Michaelis lab is one of those moments.

Putin’s war must not be permitted to reopen old wounds. Reconciliation between Germany and Russia is an important chapter of history.
We stand with #Ukraine. And with the Russians who are courageously standing up for peace, freedom and human rights.
