We used 3D electron diffraction to elucidate the crystal structures of XePt₂F₁₀ and XePd₂F₁₀. Based on these findings, we propose structural models for the first noble-gas compound, XePtF₆. #InorgChem #3DED #Xenon #ChemSky #OpenAccess 📃 doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Are you interested in mechanochemistry and porous materials? Maybe solid form screening and control? Or perhaps periodic DFT? 🙋‍♀️ For all that and more, read our brand new open access paper in JACS: 🥳 (details below) pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

The second paper from our project is out in PCCP, in open access! This wonderful collaboration with our colleagues from the Institute for physics resulted in a home-made Raman system for in situ monitoring of mechanochemical ZIF syntheses 🥳 t.co/dKB9OpDgJ1

We had a blast on Friday doing mechanochemistry and porous materials demos as part of #SciHill

Today is #NationalTeflonDay 🍳 Teflon is a fluorochemical, a group of stable and long-lived compounds that have generated environmental and health concerns. This graphic looks at the uses of these compounds, the concerns, and possible alternatives: www.compoundchem.com/2024/12/06/p... #ChemSky 🧪

Please help me get this opportunity in front of as many potential future marine biologists as possible. We have a team standing by to answer their questions but we need questions!

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

Are you doing science in the solid state? Want to chat and present your research to physicists, chemists, geologists and more in the field? Come to beautiful Zagreb this July 2-4! Abstract submission: May 10th, 2025 All details: www.scires2025.irb.hr

Join me and some amazing scientists in Zagreb this July 🤩🎆

What an incredible loss for the crystallography community and science in general. Prof Sheldrick was truly a giant and such a nice person. May he rest in peace 🕯️

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Every Valentine’s day I’m reminded that this crystal gave me this specific structure 💖 I love my research and it loves me back 🥰 #crystallography #science #valentines

pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Hey all–please read for important Changes to the 2024 ACS Catalysis Lectureship Award. Most importantly, we are now giving ONE in EACH area–biocatalysis, heterogeneous catalysis and homogeneous catalysis! Deadline is Dec 31 but the process is very easy!

We’re back baby! 🥳 After a long year and a half, we’re back at the DESY synchrotron in Hamburg for some in situ mechanochemistry 💜 @asciencelark.bsky.social @vmartinez1.bsky.social

okay, we're starting with this Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already! Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting) Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Greenland sharks have been found with polar bears and reindeer in their stomachs. Tiger sharks have been found with penguins and porcupines in their stomachs.

Another chemical mystery, this one for the electrochemists/inorganic types: is it possible to make hydrazine from molecular nitrogen and a electrochemistry setup? chemjobber.blogspot.com/2023/10/the-... chemsky ⚗️🧪 please reskeet

Our environmental science department is looking for a new tenure line faculty member (they are doing an open rank search). It's a fantastic department with wonderful/supportive/talented people.

Cool editorial opening for a Team Manager at Nature Communications; they are looking for someone to lead a team of 4-8 editors at the interface of the physical and life sciences to handle multidisciplinary papers. Closing date: Sept 4th Location: London or Berlin (Reskeets appreciated!)

I’ve followed @tkingfisher.bsky.social for a while on social media and found her very funny and charming. So when I came across “A house with good bones” in a Croatian bookstore, I figured I’d give it a shot! Started this morning, couldn’t put it down, finished this evening 😅 Absolutely amazing!
