Website updated, so re-posting. #ChemJobs #ChemChat We are searching for a 2-year Visiting Assistant Professor to help teach our 100-level & organic chemistry courses (sabbatical replacement over the next two years). We have a search page with more info. www.skidmore.edu/chemistry-an...

Obviously a lot is going on (gestures widely) Amid chaos, I cope by doing *something* -- anything. Lately, it's been coding for @avogadro.cc because it feels like some small change I can do myself For *years* I've wanted to show electron density volumes .. little clouds ☁️☁️ #compchem

this is a fascinating article, featuring a ton of analytical chemists arguing with one another #chemchat

Dilushini’s paper from her masters work comes out with a strong supporting cast! We promised reactive I(V)….Here’s some reactive I(V). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Out today on JACS ASAP - Baran/Blackmond collaboration demonstrating the power of temperature scanning reactions in mechanistic studies of multicycle catalytic systems. Fantastic work by @dacagan.bsky.social and Aron Peter and Phil who is still over on the other place. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Haven’t posted in a while here but - Thrilled to announce: a research paper with former Fulbright visiting scholar Dr. Kseniia Yutilova has been published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry! doi.org/10.1021/acs.....

🧵 1/?: Switching a Research Desktop to Linux (Intro & Prehistory) 1/ This is the first in a series of threads/mini-tutorials I'll be posting on switching a real academic research & development desktop to Linux. Not a “open source rocks” 🧵— this is about doing actual science. #ChemSky #AcademicSky

Question I never thought of before: Do anti-static ionizers work in argon? I know an alpha particle (if you're using a Po-based ionizer) is going to be way way more energetic than Ar ionization energy, but unsure about all the secondary reactions, etc....

UNCW's Dept of Chem and Biochem is looking for four (4!) new members this cycle including: Asst Professor Analytical Chem Asst Professor Physical Chem Lecturer - Bio- and general Chem Lecturer - General Chem Our dept is a great place to work and Wilmington's a blast! #ChemSky #ChemJobs Links ⬇️

Could we just get all graduate programs in a field to use a common app already?

any suggestions for a equivalent reagent for Na/Hg?

#chemchat #chemsky I need your recommendation for a very high boiling point solvent that can be used at 300C. Ph2O is not high enough (it goes to around 250C). Cannot be protic, cannot have amines. It doesn't need to be a liquid at room temp. Ideas? Cc @adrianlorenzana.ca

Our latest is out now in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! Thermochromism, C-H/O activation & redox chem at a planar Bi triamide. Congrats to PhD Will Howlett on leading this @bsky.app initiated collab with @chrisslootweg.bsky.social + @jasonmasuda.bsky.social @dalchemistry.bsky.social. bit.ly/480io3T

🔥Excited to share our latest: "Nickel Complexes of a Hybrid Cyclopentadienyl-Phosphine Ligand” Now out in @pubs.acs.org Work done by former PDF, Pavan Mandapati w/ PhD student, Gabe Jobin! 💪 tinyurl.com/mwtmehfh @westernu.ca @western-chemistry.bsky.social

Our group’s latest work is out today in @nature.com ! Our goal is to enable any chemist to be able to easily access an aryne intermediate! So Chris, Sal, and Felicia teamed up to design what we think is the ideal aryne precursor. Danny and @jnboyn.bsky.social helped us understand the activation!

If you (or an undergraduate in your life) is thinking about graduate school in Chemistry, I want to share that Stony Brook Chemistry will be holding two virtual info sessions in about 2 weeks on our PhD program! Register: forms.gle/exxMufpr2dLv...

If you're suddenly interested in ℚ𝕦𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕦𝕞 𝕋𝕦𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘, hear me out: Do you know the famous dead/alive cat?🙀 With @aromaticist.bsky.social group we found a case where the tunneling in rings makes them Aromatic and Antiaromatic at the same time!⌬ doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Thank you @drjameschums.bsky.social! Turns out it's this option. I had seen that but assumed it was about standard valence as default, so thought I wanted it on. I did not! Lifesaver for people who draw complexes and reuse in various representations #chemsky

Hi #chemsky, we are having lots of trouble acquiring methyl vinyl ketone. Several suppliers, @sigmaaldrich.bsky.social, @thermofishersci.bsky.social, claim that they have it, but they actually do not, and they claim they do not know when it will arrive from their supplier.

Very happy to have contributed to this study from Roly Armstrong's group on N–N atropisomeric amides in @chemcomm.rsc.org: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A... @chemistryncl.bsky.social #chemsky
