In @science.org this week from Simon Aldridge's group, CO is a sneaky thief: binds unexpectedly to tin at low temp, then steals both its ligands to make a carbene 🧪 chemsky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to see this work published today in @jacs.acspublications.org , fun chemistry and a real group effort here by @clairemcmullin.bsky.social , @moraleschem.bsky.social , Mary and big Mike! (@bathchem.bsky.social) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Happy to see the latest Hill/@clairemcmullin.bsky.social paper out in @chemistryeurope.bsky.social. We've found you can interconvert group 1 alumanyls by redox reactions with elemental alkali metals (no beryllium needed this time ;)). chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

So it begins... Looking forward to a great week at the Lindau Meeting! Very grateful for the opportunity

🔓Check out this #OpenAccess work by @kylegpearce.bsky.social‬, Mary Mahon and Michael Hill: hydride transmetallation with alkylzinc gives an organocalcium dimer with differentiated alkyl and aryl functionalities👀 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... 📍@uniofbath.bsky.social‬ 🧪

Very honoured to be invited to give a research seminar @unswchemistry.bsky.social, thanks again to Sam Furfari for organising #ChemSky

We're recruiting a PDRA to work with our team at Oxford Chemistry @ox.ac.uk @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social ! If you are interested in synthetic inorganic chemistry and catalysis research, Apply! my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Happy Friday! Chuffed to see this work out in @rscmechanochem.rsc.org. Very thankful for all of the hard work put in for this paper, especially by Laura who helped to kickstart this mechanochemical venture. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Just out in @daltontrans.rsc.org: Alkylzinc-Mediated Transmetallation of a Calcium Hydride. An extension of our approach to access [LCaMe]2 - facilitating access to organocalcium dimers with differentiated functionalities. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Very grateful for the opportunity to talk about our latest calcium zincate chemistry. Always a great time at #Dalton2025

OXIDATION STATE CONFUSION: Al(I)-Sn(II)? Al(II)-Sn(I)? Al(III)-Sn(0)? The crooked structure of this complex can be explained by a Al-donor Sn-acceptor bond. Details can be found here: chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Finally managed to escape the office / lab for a brief lunch and a catch-up with the Hill group last week. 🍕@jguntley1234.bsky.social @moraleschem.bsky.social @kylegpearce.bsky.social

The deadline is quickly approaching for the Main Group PhD Prize - please get nominating! @rsc.org

Thanks very much to @iitbombay for inviting me to speak at their conference MMM-4, it was my first time being in India and it was fantastic, superb conference, I look forward to coming back! #MMM4 #Chemsky

Conference officially underway, really looking forward to a great few days of chemistry #chemsky #MMM4 @iitbombay.bsky.social

We need your help! The Main group Interest group is looking to award the @roysocchem.bsky.social Main Group PhD Lectureship Prize for the advancement of Main Group chemistry during their PhD. See details below:

Some lovely chemistry just out from the Liptrot group @bathchem.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New year, new opportunities!!! We can offer two interesting positions within our @ERC_Research CoG project #AGILE at the hearth of organometallic chemistry #ChemJobs #ChemPostdocs #PostDocJobs #PhDJobs #ChemSky #CHEMnitz

My condolences to the extended Fraser Stoddard family. What a legacy of wonderful people (and obviously wonderful chemistry) ChemSky

We report the first stable hexavalent nickel complex! It's formed by reductive addition of three Be-Be bonds at nickel(0), producing Ni(BeCp)6 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

5th person to be cured of HIV “Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago.”

Here at Leicester we are recruiting 2xGTA/PhD students (start date September 2025) with several projects to choose from, including one in our group. If you like rare earths and want to make some crazy molcules, get in touch! #phd #phdlife #chemsky le.ac.uk/study/resear...

Very proud to share our team’s first paper 📝 #Bath chemistry! Many congratulations to Rebecca on doing such an amazing job tackling some tricky #manganese complexes in her #year1 💪 #proudsupervisor Thanks to the RS for the support #URF #newPI chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Double drop in ChemEurJ today, some lovely chemistry from dom's time in the Hill/Jones groups 🙌 doi.org/10.1002/chem... doi.org/10.1002/chem...

Hi everyone, just to introduce myself to #chemsky. I am an assistant professor of chemistry at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. I am interested in synthetic chemistry accelerated by automation. I am advertising a PhD position at the moment, so check it out if interested: tinyurl.com/willcoxlabs

Happy to see our latest paper out in @inorganics_MDPI as part of the bulky ligands special issue. A nice addition to o-carboranyls. www.mdpi.com/2304-6740/12...

I am working on a Phosphorus Chemistry starter pack. Happy for any suggestions! #ChemSky go.bsky.app/J7TFAPk

I've keeping an eye on all the different chemistry starter packs. Here is the big list so far, in no particular order and badly formatted: #ChemSky #StarterPack #ChemistryStarterPack #Chemistry #Chemists #StartingPack

Figured it was time to take the plunge. I'll mainly be posting about chemistry so here's some of the latest work out of the Hill group that I've been involved in: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
