Check out Nour Tanbouza’s new Chemistry World Story covering a new twist on the classic Swern oxidation, based on research by @klchemistry.bsky.social and team published in Chemical Science! www.chemistryworld.c... And read the original article here, for free: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC... #ChemSky 🧪

“This is not a Swern” (but almost!) @klchemistry.bsky.social, @conchem.bsky.social and team @ #UniofGreenwich, with #Kiel & #GSK, report eCarbonyls: a simple, scalable, metal-free electrochemical oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes/ketones. #ChemSky Read it here in full: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Revenge of the student! This time I got to ask the questions when interviewing @klchemistry.bsky.social about the group’s recent article. Read the Chemistry World article ‘A current ⚡️ take on the Swern Oxidation’ #ChemSky

An electrochemical approach to the classic Swern oxidation converts alcohols to aldehydes and ketones at room temperature, eliminating the need for dangerous reagents and extreme conditions.

#SynTech2026 is coming! 📅 6–8 July 2026 | Old Royal Naval College, London (UNESCO site) The first SynTech Summer School & Conference will unite world leaders in synthesis: electrosynthesis, flow, photochem, AI & more. Pre-register now 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/klchem... #ChemSky

From lab to company: back from #ucddublin, and tomorrow it’s off to #CharlesRiverLaboratories in Harlow. No rest for the e-curious ⚡And yet I have a new reaction waiting for me in my fumehood… Exciting times ahead! #Electrosynthesis #GreenChemistry #TranslationalScience #ChemSky

⚡️ On the road again! ⚡️ Heading to University College Dublin next Wednesday (15/10) to share some of our latest electrosynthesis work from the University of Greenwich, thanks to Aniello Palma for the invite! Time to electrify the Liffey and bring it more currents ☘️⚡️🇮🇪 #chemsky

⚡️Farewell to Swern⚡️Out in @chemicalscience.rsc.org! Meet eCarbonyls (aka eSwern) from our lab #UniofGreenwich! No smell (if you work cleanly!), no cryogenics, no oxalyl chloride. Just clean aldehydes at room temp using electricity. Yes, we have that in stock for you! lnkd.in/g2ix5F9N #ChemSky

🇩🇰 Honoured to be external opponent for Rune Kjærgaard Groven’s PhD at #AarhusUni :a tour de force in synthesis, electrochemistry, batteries & polymers! Best part? He celebrated with a hot dog truck! 🌭🤣 48h in DK = great science & new ideas 😎 #ChemSky

Another week, another trip! This time, about hashtag#battery chemistry! Excited to be visiting @AarhusUni from 2–4 October. If any colleagues in Denmark are available, I’d be delighted to connect and chat about chemistry or simply meet over coffee. #ChemSky

How our Latvian dinner became all a sudden very dramatic… maybe not the best trick to impress a bunch of chemists 🤣 #ChemSky

Fantastic time at the 14th Walden Symposium in Riga! Honoured to present our chemistry alongside such a prestigious line-up. Huge thanks to Edgars Suna & team for the flawless organisation! Riga is such an amazing place! #WaldenSymposium #Chemistry #Riga #ChemSky

On Monday we will be zapping ⚡️ F atoms!

Another week, another country to ⚡️ electrify ⚡️ - on my way to #Riga and #Latvia for the infamous #Walden symposium! #ChemWithoutBorder #ChemSky

⚡️ Excited to head to #Riga for the 14th Paul Walden Symposium! I’ll share some of our latest (maybe even unpublished) #UniofGreenwich work. Thanks to Edgars Suna for the kind invite. From seeing the Walden inversion as a student to now speaking at the Symposium: the loop feels closed. #ChemSky ⚡️

⚡️ It’s great to share chemistry, but it’s even better to meet colleagues and friends for a viva! Thanks Amanda, Gadi, Marta, Bas, @chrisslootweg.bsky.social, Sonja, @tnoel82.bsky.social, Tati & Ron for the inspiring discussions. Brilliant, kind colleagues with huge ground for collaboration! #ChemSky

⚡️ Great to visit #SygnatureDiscovery last week and share our latest electrochemistry work from #UoGreenwich! Inspiring chats with their brilliant scientists, and yes, sometimes I even develop transformations industry actually finds useful 😉 Thanks Jonathan Golec & team! #ChemSky

Why are most grants’ deadlines in August and September…

Stirring: friend or foe? Huang et al.: 329 reactions → stirring made little difference. Cherepanova et al.: stirrers can cause irreproducibility by vial position. Time to rethink the humble stir bar. doi.org/10.1021/jacs... #ChemSky

🔬 #Stir or not to stir? A new study (Huang et al. www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejo...) tested 329 reactions and found almost no difference in yield between stirred and unstirred conditions, even at kilo scale and for eChem! ⚡ Maybe not every flask needs to be whirring away! #ChemSky

⚡ Interested in zapping molecules? Our lab is expanding collaboration horizons and training the next generation of electrosynthetic chemists. European researchers can even join us through funded Erasmus+ research visits. 🌍🔬 Get in touch, we’d love to connect! #ChemSky

#Amsterdam, get ready to be electrified ⚡! I’ll be at the Uni of Amsterdam on Sept 15–16, sharing our latest results from #UniofGreenwich (including some unpublished data 👀). Swing by if you’re around! #ChemSky

Almost no chemistry this weekend! But a lot of super cool #Fringe shows in #Edinburgh #Scotland #Break

Little weekend trip to #Belgium to see my parents. In Belgium you’re officially « old » when you go to the #chocolate shop and decide to pick your chocolates one by one and create a massive queue behind you. Well… I am officially that guy now 🤣

Farewell to Caterina Campinoti from The uni of Pisa🇮🇹 , a brilliant PhD student & wonderful guest in our lab! She brought science, smiles & picked up a UK survival skill: pizza-making 🍕⚡️ She’ll be missed! Get in touch if you’d like to intern too! #ChemSky

When you have meetings with USA and Asia on the same day… that means you get to work at 7am and don’t leave before 7pm 😅 #WelcomeToMonday

That’s one hour after landing from USA with one hour of sleep 😅 and a flock of young PhDs happy that I made it on time 🤣 #ChemSky

A new office tag as a gift from Jamie. He’s not wrong though… welcome to academia 🤣#ChemSky

Another strike for the ⚡ElectraTeam! ⚡️ Today, @myrl.bsky.social, Jamie Walsh, and @ckechem.bsky.social officially join the ranks of PhD graduates, a brilliant trio of scientists who’ve each left their mark on the lab (and possibly the electrasyns too). #ChemSky

Leaving the #GordonConf and I feel like I’ve reached a milestone in my life. Forget the science! After all these years, I have finally met Jon Njardarson (aka the "top 200" poster guy), @kuhokie42.bsky.social,Dave Martin, @bagphos.bsky.social, Christo Sevov and @camalapit.bsky.social ! 😃 #ChemSky

I am having such a great time at the #GRC! Super great talks and science! Now… I am debating if I should embed a mysterious Irish surprise in my talk for tomorrow 🤔🤣 #ChemSky

My morning started well… I might be Belgian… but I don’t think I am gifted at making waffles 😅. #ChemSky #GRC #BreakfastFail

The perks of the job! 😎😀! #Boston #ChemSky

Just from the short bus ride from the airport, I can tell that the #GordonConf chemists’ concentration is increasing rapidly at the @embassysuites.bsky.social 🤣#ChemSky

About to land in Boston, and heading to RI tomorrow! I am really getting excited about this #GRC conference! It's also my first #GRC ever 😀 #ChemSky

I am super excited to be flying to Boston and RI next week to attend the #GRC at #BryantUniv! Finally a chance to meet with the US Chem community! Oh yes, and I have a few unpublished ⚡️ surprises ⚡️ for the occasion! (Aka don’t scoop us 😀🙏) #ChemSky
