My mini-seminar tour around Germany has ended with a very nice visit to TU Berlin TU Berlin Chemistry. Amazing hospitality by Martin Oestreich @Silicon_Martin with awesome behind the scene stories about exciting chemistry developed in the Oestreich lab!

Great visit to the Justus von Liebig museum, with a special tour guide being PRS-Group himself. Amazing to hear about Liebig’s revolutionary vision in organic chemistry and agricultural science. Liebig was the one shaping up how we still do organic chemistry education today.

Proudly present our novel molecular framework: more bent -> more blue-shifted with increased PLQY #ozchem Project led by Domenic Pace, in collaboration with Reece Crocker ⌬ and teams of Dr Wallace Wong, Binh Khanh Mai and Prof. Tim Schmidt, now on Adv Optical Mat: doi.org/10.1002/adom.2…

Great to see our two recent papers highlighted in Chemistry in Australia, a Royal Australian Chemical Institute magazine #ozchem If you haven't read them yet, they are both open-access: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… doi.org/10.1039/D4SC01…

1/2 A team of UNSW chemists led by Prof. Neeraj Sharma have developed a novel battery component that could make lithium-ion batteries more efficient, affordable and sustainable. The secret ingredient is food-based acids 🍊 Read the full story, here: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

It's fun to decipher reaction mechanism with meticulously designed control experiments. This paper from our group is All About That Base(-mediated oxidative 1,2-aryl migration) #ozchem

Many thanks to Anastasios Polyzos of the Polyzos Lab for being so kind giving us his excellently designed photoreactor, which was instrumental for this project.

At UNSW Science we have been investigating the tar balls that washed up on Coogee and other Sydney beaches. What do we know (and not know!) so far? Here comes our thread!

If you want to develop cool chemistry with HFIP, I have a postdoctoral position for you funded by Servier ! Please RT

#HappyDiwali2024 to all that celebrating this great festival. Our very own Suji Sharma treated us with an amazing three course meal during group meeting today. #ozchem

Here is the promised update! Now the EPA has released their statement we can reveal all the disgusting details of the ‘tar balls’.... ...which are actually human-generated waste of fat and grease! Here’s what UNSW Science and MWAC found… thread below! 🧵

Congratulations to Dr. Felix Rizzuto Felix Rizzuto UNSW Chemical Society on receiving one of two 2024 prestigious Moderna Australia Fellowship! #ozchem #mRNA #AIMS2024 #Moderna

📢 Two fully funded PhD scholarships available at Flinders University! Join the Bloch group to work on supramolecular cages, MOFs, and PFAS capture. Please contact me if interested! Flinders University flinders.edu.au/scholarships/a…
