@scheschkewitz.bsky.social and I shine a light on how main group element motifs - incl. multiple bonds - impact the photophysical properties of conjugated polymers and pave the way for new applications 🎨🔦 Check out our review @angewandtechemie.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🚨 PhD Opportunity 🚨 🔁 Reposts appreciated! My group at @manchester.ac.uk is recruiting a 3.5-year PhD student to explore Sb & Bi pincer complexes for metallomimetic chemistry. 🔬 Fully funded (UK only) 📍 Manchester 🧪 Synthetic inorganic chemistry Apply 👉 tinyurl.com/yrjkvha9

We are advertising for two PhD studentships in organometallic chemistry! Come and work with us @imperialchemistry.bsky.social from October 2026: Advert 2) www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Join our team! We're searching for a #postdoc for a project on bimetallic #uranium complexes 🧪☢️⚗️. Funded 12 month fellowship by the Karl-Ziegler-Foundation. Further information and link to the application portal: www.uni-hamburg.de/en/stellenan... Deadline: 10 November. #chempostdoc #chemsky

Another exciting 🧩 on the bifunctional monomers for our poly(digermene)s: nitrene insertion into the Ge-Si bonds provides a bis(germaamidine)! doi.org/10.1002/zaac... - dedicated to @akmeyergoettingen.bsky.social and @christianlimberg.bsky.social on the occasion of their 60th birthdays

New chapter ahead! After successfully defending my PhD @scheschkewitz.bsky.social, I moved to Toulouse for a postdoc @lbpblab.bsky.social I am grateful for the exciting experience, all support along the way (@chemieverband.bsky.social) and thrilled to now be working with even heavier elements!

Towards functionalized polymers with Ge=Ge bonds? The Ge-Si bonds of our NHC-bis(germylene) monomer react selectively with CO2 and RNCO under retention of the Ge(II) centers! Subsequent reaction with a CAAC results in a paramagnetic germylene! @scheschkewitz.bsky.social @munzgroup.bsky.social

Oxidizing PPh3 generates a powerful reagent - Read more about this cool molecule @jacs.acspublications.org (previously @chemrxiv.bsky.social) Congrats to @fabiandankert.bsky.social, Simon, Sergi, Chandan & Sneha 🎊🍾 [Ph3P–PPh3]2+: Superacid, Superoxidant, Super Reagent? pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

In @science.org this week, a team at Lawrence Berkeley lab did some practice runs with cerium and then raced to sandwich berkelium between two carbon rings before the radioactive decay wreaked too much havoc--read all about the Bk-C bonds here! chemsky🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Catalytic methane functionalization and all it takes is... beryllium! We also compare the mechanisms of methane beryllation and borylation to reveal why Be finds it so easy @pubs.acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
