This guy is finally out!! Glad to collaborate with @harder_research and @Sandeepthakur_K, and help them describe the first s-Block-Lanthanide bond! Awesome chemistry that you can now check out here in @J_A_C_S @ALGC_VUB 🚀🚀 https://t.co/9cTb4Fky6X

Our work has been in the top 5 most read @Orgmet_ACS papers published within the last month! Don't miss it ⚡️ @chaplinlab @ALGC_VUB
Happy to see my first-first-author finally out in @Orgmet_ACS! 🥳 We study the internal electrostatics in a large set of metal carbonyl complexes and the results help us better understand the M-CO bond, beyond the classic DCD explanation. Don't miss it! https://t.co/ezFrmTBlJl
