I am excited to announce a fully-funded PhD Scholarship in Molecular Bismuth Chemistry (and beyond) is now available in our research group at Flinders University. Advertisement: lnkd.in/g4T8JJ_U Group Website: isolobal.com #PhDPosition #OrganometallicChemistry #ChemistryResearch #PhDOpportunity

Check out recent work from the Mehta group looking at structure of Ar-P=P-X molecules, the compositional all P analogue of aryldiazonium halides. Published in @chemicalscience.rsc.org Thanks @ukri.org @erc.europa.eu for funding! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

@townrowresearch.bsky.social and I summarized some recent developments in molecular main-group chemistry. A fun project with many beautiful new discoveries last year! 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 The annual "Trendbericht" can i.e. be read here: gdch.app/article/haup...

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.

We're Hiring! If you are interested in a PDRA post with the Mehta group, please apply! @ox.ac.uk @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

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:

Merry Christmas All! The big man just delivered my gift: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Some lovely calcium and phosphorus chemistry in here (even if I am a bit biased) @pubs.acs.org @bathchem.bsky.social Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas

Early Christmas present now out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social ! Another fun collaboration between the Hill & McMullin groups ( @clairemcmullin.bsky.social @moraleschem.bsky.social ) 🔥

#facultychemjobs #chemchat #chemsky 🧪⚗️ #chemjobscanada #chemjobs

Great work by the Hill groups Masters and Summer students Alannah and Estelle - coupling organonitriles at an aluminium centre. Out now in @organometallic.bsky.social . pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

A PDRA position is available @bathchem.bsky.social in the Liptrot group. Great opportunity with a fantastic group! www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy...

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

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

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...
