Great night with wine and good company at the EuCOMC in Madrid. Looking forward to hearing great science this week!

The Estes group was recently at the most neutral place in the world (neutron source at PSI in Switzerland). Looking forward to seeing some great neutron scattering data!

If you’re at the Wissenschaftsforum in Leipzig, go check out Sarah‘s poster about Atom-Transfer reactions catalyzed by immobilized Cu complexes.

📢We are hiring📢 #ChemTwitter We have an open doctoral researcher position in the field of organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis at the Julius-Maximilians University in beautiful Würzburg! Join the team and please get in touch via email. Further details in the ad!

I was a teaching assistant during my PhD for Prof Brus 13 years ago for his Gen Chem class and I’ve been saying ever since „when is this guy going to get his Nobel“. Congratulations Prof Brus! Very well deserved!

Our new IR spectrometer got installed in our new glovebox today and the group can’t wait to try it out. Finally feel like a real SOMC group! Thanks CRC1333 !

Had a great seminar in Stuttgart from Clément CAMP last week! Thanks again Clement!

Had a great time discussing CO2 chemistry with the next generation of Baden-Württemberg chemists! If you’re interested come join the Elite Akademie of the Uni Stuttgart

Have a look at our newest paper on Comparison of the Catalytic Activity of Surface-Immobilized Copper Complexes with Phosphonate Anchoring Groups for Atom Transfer Radical Cyclizations and Additions which was nominated for ACS Editor's Choice. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Many thanks to BertWeckhuysen from Utrecht University, NL for his inspiring talk on "Probing Birth, Life & Death of Catalysts with Operando Spectroscopy & Microscopy" at our #crc1333 #colloquium! It was a pleasure to have you in Stuttgart! #sfb1333 #chemistry #catalysis

Sometimes it’s the little things that my PhD students do that impress me the most (the subtle genius of doctoral students)

You can still register for the #CRC1333 Minisymposium on May 16, 2024 - more details here: 🔗bit.ly/3roIlZK. Registration closes on April 25, 2024 - so get your tickets now! #sfb1333 #catalysis

What is Clément CAMP's favorite saying? (Hint: It is an NMR-related pun in French.) Find out on his #IntroducingAngewandte page x.com/16467437/statu… #nmrchat onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

In our newest paper, we show that Proton-Electron Transfer from CpCr(CO)3H to CeO2 is a good model of hydrogen spillover! Check out the full paper here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… CRC1333 Van Slageren Group

Last Wednesday was a very special day in the Estes Group! My first PhD from my group passed her defense with flying colors! Congratulations Dr. Maier! I‘m very proud of the work you’ve done and know you‘ll do great!

Congratulations to Erik on our newest paper in Organometallics. Erik showed how preequilibria are important for forming active catalytic intermediates and why you should always report concentrations and not just equivalents of ligands for catalysis. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Group hike in Bad Urach today to see the waterfalls! A great time was had by all.

I’m happy to be able to finally share this collaborative work within the CRC1333 where we use neutron scattering and molecular dynamics to understand how solid surfaces change the rate of forming acid decomposition. Check it out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to Michael and everyone else involved on our new paper where we show that hydrogen spillover on ZnO and ZrO2 occurs from strong hydride donors like DIBAL and Strykers reagent. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… CRC1333

Hi everyone, I am transitioning our group posts to Bluesky. Feel free to follow us there at Esteslab.bsky.social
