We're happy to announce v1.98, the latest beta of Avogadro2, including piles of new features and bug fixes, including support for 3Dconnexion devices on Windows and Mac #compchem Lots more - see: discuss.avogadro.cc/t/avogadro-1-9…

📣 Don't miss Alexander Fanourakis & Robert J. Phipps' new Chemical Science Review 📣 Catalytic, asymmetric carbon–nitrogen bond formation using metal nitrenoids: from metal–ligand complexes via metalloporphyrins to enzymes 🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D3SC04…

Max Kadarauch and I are excited to present the latest work from the Phipps group now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Using sSPhos as an easy-to-access chiral ligand, four classes of substrate can undergo arylative enantioselective dearomatisation. Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Pleased to share our new paper in Chemical Communications on atropisomeric N-chloroamides (how to make them & how they racemize). Congratulations to Aaron Campbell & Natalie Roper and thanks to Kristaps Ermanis & Ross Denton for your work on the #compchem. Read it here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
