After >3 years on the making, we are very excited to introduce Ferrioxalate Photocatalysis in a work published today in @science.org : science.org/doi/10.1126/... A thread below (1/5) 👇

After visiting the Christmas markets of Vienna (and forgetting the routine group picture), we celebrated the end of the year with a laser tag session, finishing 2025 on a high note. Happy holidays to everyone!🎄🌟

Happy to contribute to this work!

One year of the Mateos Group in Vienna – time to update the group picture! Grateful for the energy, talent, and passion of this growing team.

A great way to celebrate our first year in Vienna @univie.ac.at! Our Se(III) radical project has been funded by the @fwf-at.bsky.social Austrian Science Fund (FWF)!! 🚨PhD & postdoc calls coming soon🚨 Stay tuned! mateoslab.com

Great news from the 5th DoSChem Symposium! Our PhD student Kirill Zhiliaev received the Best Talk Award - well done! 👏

🔥Ever heard of Se(III) radicals? 🔥 Our first paper is out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social ! Bench-stable cationic selenuranes: 1️⃣ Minimal radical trication X-ray structure 2️⃣ Scalable to >17 g 3️⃣ Useful as group-transfer reagents 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Plastic depolymerization and carbon capture in one paper - the aminolyzed PET shows surprisingly high thermal stability which led us to investigate for carbon dioxide capture and DAC. The material is scalable and the chemistry is robust. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Just in time! ⏰ Before some of us head to the beach, a new toy arrives at the lab. Ready for some (radical) fun!

🎉Honored and happy to receive the XVII SusChem Young Researcher Award in the Investiga category.🎉 Thank you to everyone who made it possible, and congratulations to the other awardees! JM #PremiosSusChem @univie.ac.at www.suschem-es.org/detalle_noti...

Happy to share that Javier has been awarded the 2025 RSEQ “Young Researchers” Prize (Postdoctoral category). We are grateful to the Governing Board for this recognition, which supports our work in organic synthesis and catalysis at @univie.ac.at rseq.org/concesion-de...

If you wonder about how to harness innate excited-state reactivity in TM photocatalysis to design new synthetic methods, you can find some guidelines and a rationalization attending to orbitals in this Perspective, just published in ACSCatalysis @acs.org: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... (1/3)

🚨 PhD Opportunity Alert! Repost appreciated!🔁 A fully funded PhD position is available in the Mateos Group at the University of Vienna! 🔹 Up to 4y of funding 🔹 Application deadline: April 21, 2025 👉 More info: doschem.univie.ac.at/application/... #PhDPosition #Chemistry #Catalysis (1/4)

The new labs are officially inaugurated! Arturo and Kirill did an excellent job organizing all the glassware into drawers and cupboards. ⚗️🧪 Precision and teamwork at their best!

Two new achievements unlocked! ✅✅ The Mateos Group's refurbished labs are ready, and we are moving in on Monday! Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible. And… we are now also here!! Stay tuned for our latest news. #NewLab
