Sarah Patrick has a new @chemrxiv preprint out describing a continuous flow process for upgrading HFCs and HFOs. Great collaboration with Phil Miller and Bull Group Chemistry here is the link: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Thoroughly enjoyed GECO. Great idea to have a program of alternating science and ocean swimming. Congrats to the organisation team on fantastic conference.

Now the ink has dried I’m super happy to announce that I’ll be starting as a lecturer at the University of Bath this October. Looking forward to making lots of heterometallic nanoclusters to see what they can catalyse. Website to follow, watch this space. University of Bath Chemistry@Bath Uni

Imogen’s work investigating a transient Al(I) species is now available online as an accepted article in Chemical Communications - supported by Mickey and some serendipitous crystal growing by Juliana. Congratulations Imogen S 💥 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Interested in a DPhil in some cool iron chemistry at Oxford? Consider applying to the IMAT and CSHP CDT programmes Oxford Chemistry where we have some fun iron projects available in the Neidig group across both CDTs. imatcdt.chem.ox.ac.uk cshp-cdt.chem.ox.ac.uk

Potential PhD funding (part of an internal competition) in the group to look at designing new heteromultimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction: tinyurl.com/HetMetCO2 If you’re into the interface between computation and organometallic chemistry please apply!

📢 We have a PhD position available in our lab exploring main group compounds and their reactivity. We are very happy for people to contact us with informal enquires! kcl.ac.uk/study-legacy/f….

Gina Rai's work in collaboration with PdCyclist, GSK, @BeckyLGreenaway and Phil Miller on the mechanism of Pd catalysed carbonylation of aryl bromides with CO/H2 is now published in ACS Catalysis. Here is the link: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Gina and Martí's paper, in collaboration with Phil Miller, on the isolation and structural characterisation of a couple of Pd2Zn2 clusters is now out in Organometallics. Here is the link. pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

We have an open 3rd year Research Associate position in the group to work on heterometallic complexes for C–H activation. Come join us and have fun playing with metals. Deadline to apply is 3rd of April. More details here. jobs.ac.uk/job/DMJ763/res…

Wenbang's Wenbang Yang work using group 13 fluoride complexes as catalysts for thiodefluorination and hydrodefluorination of electron-deficient arenes is now out in Inorganic Chemistry Here is a link: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We have a PhD scholarship opportunity to look at remediation of fluorine-containing pesticides available through the Grantham Institute Imperial at Imperial. More details here: imperial.ac.uk/grantham/educa…

New paper out today in Nature Synthesis from Wenbang Yang (Wenbang Yang). We describe addition of Zn–Zn bonds to main group carbenes. The system nicely illustrates the continuum between oxidative addition and reductive addition processes. rdcu.be/ejPSS

Exciting new ChemRxiv preprint on sustainable fluorine chemistry. Dr. Niko A. Jenek, Sarah Patrick, Andreas Phanopoulos and Jiahuang Mao report a simple one-pot transfer fluorination method to recycle fluoride content of HFCs, HFOs, fluoroethers, and PFAS. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Interested in learning more about sustainable approaches in fluorine chemistry? Shannon Farley has a new ChemRxiv out summarising synthetic and catalytic approaches that could underpin a future circular economy for fluorocarbons. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Our final ChemRxiv preprint of the week comes from Wenbang Yang who investigated reactions of CO and an isocyanide with complexes containing Al–Mg bonds. The highlight is this interesting new coupling product. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

New ChemRxiv preprint out today from Joey Zurakowski and Benedek Stadler in collaboration with Marcus Drover. They discovered an exciting new Ni---Al heterometallic complex and studied in detail a new phosphine-catalysed C–H activation mechanism. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…
