A warm welcome to Beau Legnon!🌞 Beau is a student Episcopal working on a summer research project in the lab of Prof. Sviatoslav Baranets 🇺🇦 through the ESTAAR program. He studies crystal structures of metal halides alongside grad student Thimira Kandabadage. Geaux Beau! #LSUChemistry

Excited to share our latest publication in Chemistry of Materials on Ba₂InSnPn₃ (Pn = P, As), rare n-type thermoelectric Zintl phases. This collaborative work brings together teams from LSU Chemistry, UD Chemistry & Biochemistry, LSU Phys & Astro, and Oak Ridge Lab. Read more: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

I was happy to collaborate with the amazing multidisciplinary team from LSU Petroleum Eng, LSU Engineering, LSU Geology, and LSU Chemistry to study structural transitions and local structures in CsPbBr3 perovskite. Check out our work in ACSOmega: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations, Jacko, on this great achievement! More thermoelectrics to study!

Absolutely horrific to learn that Miguel Alario Franco, a leading solid-state chemist from Spain, suddenly passed away yesterday. We enjoyed his presence during the last GRC only a month ago, and we will miss him, his famous humor and spectacular jokes. RIP

Excited to attend the ACS SWRM and catch up with friends. Sarbajit Banerjee

Day #2 of SWRMACS - Excellents talks for the "Synthesis and Growth of Nano to Bulk Solids for Energy and Environmental Applications" session Sarbajit Banerjee Maggard Research Laboratory Mel Anderson Sviatoslav Baranets 🇺🇦 Baylor Chemistry AB Altman Group

It was a great joy to give a talk on our recent findings in oxypnictide Zintl Chemistry! Thank you Julia Chan and Robin Macaluso for organizing a great session at SWRMACS.

I am proud to see my amazing team of LSU Chemistry students Thimira_92, Gayomi Samarakoon, Spencer, and Olia attending and presenting their research results at SWRMACS in Waco, TX!

Excited to share one of the most complex and disordered crystal structures we have studied. β-Yb2CdSb2 is a novel complex non-centrosymmetric Zintl polymorph of the Yb2CdSb2 phase. LSU Chemistry UD Chemistry & Biochemistry mdpi.com/3012830 #mdpicrystals via Crystals MDPI

The articles included in this new Special Issue describe different strategies for synthesizing and understanding complex molecules and their potential applications from different perspectives, and how these may influence the future of the field. 📄 go.acs.org/bJI

In Memory of Prof. Francis DiSalvo: This Virtual Special Issue from Chemistry of Materials celebrates his life, career, and scientific legacy following his sad passing in October 2023. Read now 👉 go.acs.org/bNa

Well-known compounds also deserve thorough characterization, especially if the purpose is to train a new generation of scientists. Check the comprehensive structural study of RECl3·xH2O salts led by my students Thimira_92 and high school intern Beau doi.org/10.1107/S20569…

I am excited to announce that I've been awarded the NSF CAREER Award, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research – Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program! More advancements in heteroanionic solid-state chemistry and innovative materials are on the way!

Way to Geaux, Spencer!

It has been a fantastic experience to visit amazing facility, advance Zintl Chemistry, and meet/collaborate with friends! Thank you Samuel Gallego Parra for organizing the visit! Cool high pressure science is soon to see the world! LSU Chemistry

The 6th LOBSTER chemical-bonding school will take place in Berlin, between June 11-13, at the BAM. Please apply free of charge at bam-akademie.de/kursangebot/ku… Dear #compchem aficionados, hope to see you in Berlin!
