Looking for news in silicon chemistry?☺️🥳.

RT @DemirSelly: Thrilled to have the first dinuclear rare earth metal complex containing a bridging 2,2′-azobispyridyl radical anion featur….

RT @DemirSelly: Super excited to present a remarkable electronic situation of the benzene dianion 🤩😊🥳. Three new inverse-sandwich rare eart….

Magic silicon 🥰Always fascinating to learn about the power of silicon-silicon double bonds. Nothing seems impossible. Check it out.

RT @GoicoecheaGroup: An isolable phosphinidene oxide, you ask? That’s right!!! Check out Chenyang’s (@Chenyang__Hu) outstanding work out to….

Congrats Artemis for awesome results! Just out her paper on Bis-silylenes at work in low-valent aluminum chemistry in Angewandte Chemie.

ICHAC-14 in Tianjin: Barbecue with some of my former graduate students/postdocs (now professors in chinese universities and Munich ---Shigeyoshi Inoue) and two new postdocs. Thanks for a great retreat and I am very proud of your powerful work and success.

So much great science and gathering with rising stars in a few days. Thanks Chunming!!

ICHAC-14 in Tianjin (July 14-19): one of the top conferences I have ever been. Thanks to the masters of organization, in particular Zhenbo Mo and Chunming Cui 🥳😍.

Enjoying new lessons in boron chemistry. Just out in JACS our paper on a conjugated B=B bond in a phenanthrene body 🥳

Electro-Curious? 😊Check out the role of reconstruction of Ni:Fe oxyhydroxide in noble metal-free, e-catalytic water oxidation and more. Happy to share results from a great collaboration with the Menezes and Dau lab; just published in Adv. Energy Mater.

RT @DemirSelly: Honored and happy to see our article "Magnetic hysteresis and large coercivity in bisbenzimidazole radical-bridged dilantha….

Happy to share that German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved our grant proposal on "Nitrogen fixation, (electro)reduction and functionalization based on silicon systems" Looking forward receiving applications of highly motivated, creative & talented postdocs & PhD students

Nice to meet you: I am a member of bottleable 1,3-disilapyrroles with a triplet ground state (S = 1). My spin-density distribution exhibits an asymmetric delocalization. Come and visit me. My postal address is in Nature Synthesis.

Great to share with everyone our news in JACS on a tetracoordinate-planar silicon complex with a divalent silicon atom. Unlike other silylenes, the lone-pair of electrons at Si(II) is in a 3p-orbital.

Here you can listen the iron heart beat in action:⚡️ uncovering the particular role and cooperativity of iron and cobalt in electrocatalytic water oxidation. We learned how iron (+IV) and even higher oxidation states matter to improve efficiency.

I am happy to share a little overview on bis-silylene chemistry with you.

Lets shed light on Fe2O2 active sites in biorelevant stuff uncovered by a UniSysCat team: Fun to be in love with iron in Berlin and other places🤩🎅.

Check this out: 'Electrochemical Thursday because its Thursday today'🤩.

Proud of Niklas Hausmann in my group. He just mastered his exciting PhD defense today with distinction/ 'Summa Cum Laude'. 🥳🤩🎅Congrats Niklas. Thanks also to Greta Patzke (U Zürich) who acted as external reviewer!
