Our manuscript detailing the impact of carbene ligands on the synthesis, properties, and reactivity of 8 diazoboranes is now published in JACS (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...)! Take a look at the unusual boraketenes and diazaborles! #maingroup #boron @jacs.acspublications.org

Thanks so much to @bribarbu.bsky.social and @cenmag.bsky.social for highlighting our recent work! 😊 @tkschramm.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social

Our latest work reveals a new PN framework (Phosphaza-norbornanes) with a broad scope of substitution. Congrats to PhD student Joseph Nazak on his 1st paper with us! Also feat @michaelland.bsky.social + @jasonmasuda.bsky.social cc @dalchemistry.bsky.social + [email protected] pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Today, @ucdchemistry.bsky.social let Alexander Jussupow, Liana Zoumpouli, and I introduce ourselves to the school and the @ucddublin.bsky.social community. Here's me trying to bring my whole self to my work. #AcademicSky #NewPI ⚗️

We have just published a short overview article explaining the concepts copper catalysys with bifunctional ligands published recently. @synlettjournal.bsky.social. It's a short read, check it out here: www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejo... #CHEMnitz #copper #NHCs

And here we are, the first book live on Amazon. A "Nobel in Chemistry coloring book" :D All 116 Nobels (3 books) have been hand-drawn and are ready to be colored. Part 2 is on its way, and Part 3 will be released after this year's Nobel Prize. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRF39YS4 #chemsky #nobel

Any professors from graduate programs in sciences want to be a part of a Zoom session for University of Richmond undergraduate students interested in applying? I'd love to add a few more to my roster especially in the chemical or biochemical sciences. It would be next Tuesday at noon Eastern.

Great article on a great scientist, Stefan Kilyanek! cen.acs.org/synthesis/c-...

Come be my colleague! Whitman College is searching for a tenure-track biochemist to join the chemistry department and help with the biochem/biophysics/molbio program. My chemistry colleagues are the absolute best—please consider applying! Apps due in 1 week. apply.interfolio.com/171535

Yup. Busted my ass to become a full prof and I still felt like it wasn’t enough. Nothing I’ve done and it’s clear now nothing I will do can fill this hole desperate for validation. Germany’s made me realize I’m wasting time trying filling a bottomless pit, and I should enjoy life while I’m healthy.

Do I know anyone who has applied for/been awarded a K18?

Swimming in ancient seas this afternoon with my paleo class here in Central New York and the students found some jaw-droppingly cool fossils, including a sea star! #Devonian #Wundergrads

There's a small thread on my timeline about calculators (I don't want to rope the folks on that thread into this) and I think it illustrates something about LLMs quite clearly. (1/n)

Do you really need to stir your reactions? How do you know?

Anyone from the University of Montreal here? Please DM. Please RT.

Organometallics people: does anyone have a good, quantitative, apples to apples reference for a late metal hydride vs alkyl BDE reference? I know Marks has one for early metals but it’s been hard for me to find one for late metals.

Departing from my recent lockout commentary, here's a chemistry question about gloveboxes. I read somewhere that if acetonitrile gets into the purifier (which it should not given proper usage), it can generate hydrogen cyanide during the regeneration. Any truth to that?

Manjur’s paper on crystallizing and characterizing a boravinylidene is now online in JACS. Congrats to Manjur and our collaborators Kirk French and Kevin Shuford! Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Our new preprint 📑 about oscillating chemical reactions ⚗ just came out! arxiv.org/abs/2508.15273 We introduce tools 🛠️ that expand the scope of oscillators that can be analyzed, and use them to extract a lot of new qualitative and quantitative insights about oscillating chemical reactions! 1/3

Happy to share our artwork showcasing the first isolated 1,4,5,8-tetraazanaphthalene radicals 🥳😊, confirmed via crystallography, EPR and DFT 😎! The radicals are semiconducting! Outside Front Cover: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Paper: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Thanks much @chemcomm.rsc.org !!

Anyone out there have experience with chemaxon as a structure drawing software? Please RT #chemsky ⚗️🧪

For anyone sticking around for #acsfall2025 on Thursday, I'll be giving two talks. Hope to run into you! #chemsky

Really delighted this is out @ ACS Catalysis. The chemistry looks a lot like a job prop I wrote 4 years ago, and we've spent a good chunk of the group's history learning a LOT about Ti photochem. Congrats especially to Jagrut, who defended 2 weeks ago! doi.org/10.1021/acsc...

Sharing our 1st preprint on our work on organo-Ti photocatalysis! We've found that titanocenes are photoactive catalysts for alcohol activation by LMCT excitation, enabling β-scission of alkoxyl radicals for degradative functionalization. Congrats Jagrut, Ashley & the whole team!

This is helpful, actually — the best journals in our minds do not align with Impact Factors (if they ever did). Please stop using them.

I would have gone with P2O5

Hey profs at PUI/SLACs - how are you compensated for having undergraduates do research with you? For reference, we are counted as 0.5 contact hours each semester we have a student and $500 in funds per project. Students can sign up for 1-3 research credits per semester, 6 credits max towards degree.

We are proud to announce our newest adventure! Introducing the Diffuse Project, a community-driven effort to predict protein dynamics using the subtle diffuse scattering signal from protein crystals. This collaboration marks a new era for the Ando lab! as.cornell.edu/news/philant... 🧪 🧬🧶 💫

Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex - pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... So proud to congratulate first author Leon Gomm for his first paper in JACS. Thanks to Hui Zhu and Stefan Grimme for the ever helpful DFT calculations. @unibonn.bsky.social

Paging the #CompChemSky and #iTeachChem communities: Could you please help my MSc student with an education project, exploring how gen AI shapes the way we think, solve problems, and build confidence.

Every year I have my summer undergraduate students write a blog post related to their research (or a scientific concept that interests them). This is the first year since we've migrated to BlueSky! I will add the blog posts to this thread as the students post on our website this summer.

Thrilled to present the first isolated 1,4,5,8-tetraazanaphthalene radicals, confirmed via crystallography, EPR and DFT 😎😊🥳. The radicals are semiconducting! Thanks ChemComm for the invitation to the 2025 #pioneeringinvestigators collection. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... @chemcomm.rsc.org‬

Super excited to see this one out! First of many from my postdoc in the Camp lab. Keep eyes out for more to come!

I’m looking for classic papers in biochemistry for my Biochem I class this fall! Any suggestions are appreciated! We cover nucleotide structure and function; central dogma; protein structure and function; enzymology; and lipid structure and function. Mountain pic for attention.
