🔬 Oxford Chemistry achieves a breakthrough in nitrogen chemistry Published today in Nature Chemistry @natchem.nature.com @nature.com 

Thanks @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social for highlighting our recent @natchem.nature.com. www.chem.ox.ac.uk/article/maki...

Over 2.5 years @reecelisterroberts.bsky.social has been working on isolating a range of 4-atom nitrogen chain radical anions! Now published in @natchem.nature.com! @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @manchester.ac.uk @ukri.org @erc.europa.eu www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Registration is now open for the 2026 RSC (@rsc.org) Main Group Interest Group Conference: www.rsc.org/events/detai... The meeting will be taking place on the 8-9th April 2026 at the University of Edinburgh, showcasing a breadth of inorganic/main group chemistry- We would love to see you there.

Congrats to Daniel on this first 'first-author' paper! A collaborative computational piece with Nik K @manchester.ac.uk @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social Thanks to the UKRI @ukri.org published in Inorg Chem! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Check out recent work from Reece looking at monomer-dimer equilibrium of {N2Pn2} ring structures! .. more work from Reece coming soon... @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @organometallic.bsky.social @reecelisterroberts.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Congrats Paul! And thanks to SCGC for supporting our science. Looking forward to all the cool stuff we’ll be able to do in the lab!

The group will soon be advertising a 3-year PDRA position @imperialchemistry.bsky.social. The successful candidate will research the synthesis and reactivity of complexes with alkaline earth-metal bonds. Start date: 03/26. Please get in touch for infomal inquries.

The Main Group Committee is looking for nominations for the RSC Main Group PhD Lectureship Prize (@rsc.org). Both Self and External Nominations welcome. Extra details provided on the flyer below:
