After a sterling job by the group in moving the lab, we're now fully ensconced in the new home for UoBChemistry. Let's see if the first reactions work


The RSC Main Group Chemistry meeting is 10-11th April here at Birmingham UoBChemistry Amazing line up of speakers including Stefanie Dehnen Crimmin Group Dr Claire McMullin and Keith Izod! Details here: rsc.org/events/detail/…

If you are interested in studying for a PhD with us in the area of transition metal catalysis for synthesis, then do get in touch. The deadline for Birmingham Chemistry Scholarships 2024 UoBChemistry is the 3rd April.

📣 We're hiring! 1 year PDRA to work on synthetic catalysts inspired by CO2 reducing metalloenzymes in a collaborative project @leicesterchem funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Get in touch for informal enquiries. Closing date 12th Mar. Please share! jobs.le.ac.uk/vacancies/9647… #chempostdoc

I’m very excited to have been elected to the #UKYoungAcademy, and can’t wait to meet my new colleagues next week and start trying to tackle societal issues UoBChemistry




Continuing our interest in using heteroatoms to control pi-acid mediated alkyne reactivity, this new paper shows how S-substituents enable regiodivergent oxazole synthesis doi.org/10.1002/chem.2… ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal marking our first collaboration with Jupp Lab UoBChemistry Congrats all!


PhD advert 📢 We have some last minute PhD funding available to start in October 2024 to work in main group chemistry and catalysis. Please share with anyone who might be interested and contact me directly (unfortunately UK funding only) UoBChemistry



Congratulations to Nagnath, Paige and Aniket Aniket Gupta for their work out now in a special issue of J Org Chem/Org Lett on gold-mediated chemistry doi.org/10.1021/acs.or… UoBChemistry

Nice to see this work from Jupp Lab out in Organometallics doi.org/10.1021/acs.or… marking our groups first foray into using ReactIR to study catalysis UoBChemistry


The School of Chemistry is looking to support outstanding candidates in their applications for prestigious The Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowships. There will be an internal selection process (details below 👇) with 30 June deadline for initial enquiries royalsociety.org/grants/dorothy…
