Excited to show our latest preprint “Uranocenium – The bis-[8]annulene Uranium Cation”. Uranocene is oxidised to uranocenium cation both chemically, and electrochemically, with reversibility comparable to ferrocene. This derives from an unusual electronic structure. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....

Y'all wanted some EChem? Check out our contribution in InorgChem @acs.org towards tetravalent lanthanides, with @conradgoodwin.bsky.social, @john-seed.bsky.social, in collaboration with @gen-chem.bsky.social + @peremiro.bsky.social for calculations!

Like f-elements in unusual oxidation states? Please look at this 4-year #PhD position between Manchester and Peking University to isolate formally divalent molecules and determine their electronic structures with advanced X-ray spectroscopic techniques. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Happy to share Ben’s first full research article from his time in the group: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Challenging synthesis and some interesting new main group architectures making an appearance for the first time on an f-element. #Chemistry #Actinides #f-elements

Happy to announce two funded #PhD studentships for aspiring synthetic chemists to do some f-element molecule making. (1) High oxidation states; (2) Tuneable electronic structures for qubits. See: www.capgoodwin.com/pages/positi... for details, and below for both FindAPhD links.

Working on my X-it at the moment and shifting over here. The #Chemistry community is growing at a solid clip, and I look forward to seeing more new folks! It’s fitting that my first post here includes some glorious crystals and #felement colours. Courtesy of 2nd yr PhD researcher Cameron Deakin.

Hi #ChemSky! 👋 We see you! Please give us a moment to get settled here.
