🚨 PhD Opportunity 🚨 🔁 Reposts appreciated! My group at @OfficialUoM is recruiting a 3.5-year PhD student to explore Sb & Bi pincer complexes for metallomimetic chemistry. 🔬 Fully funded (UK only) 📍 Manchester 🧪 Synthetic inorganic chemistry Apply 👉

Genevieve & Pere verified ligand oxidation observed in Pr/Tb(III) EChem with DFT - showing the formation of a ligand centred radical upon oxidation! Whilst the system has some limitations - it's a great start for the @GoodwinRadChem in its journey towards tetravalent lanthanides!

@Johnseedo collected some gorgeous magnetic data - as always! In fact the Tb(III) data suggested a well-isolated paramagnetic pseudo-doublet spin-orbit ground state which has led to some spin-off work so stay tuned!

Using a bidentate di(silylamido)silane ligand to isolate trivalent Ce/Pr/Tb complexes and tetravalent Ce/U. One of my first times with EChem - a skill I have really enjoyed developing! Gorgeous Ce(IV/III) redox couple and EChem of U(IV) we found couples from U(III) to U(VI)

Y'all wanted some EChem? Check out our contribution @InorgChem towards tetravalent lanthanides, and some excellent electrochemistry, with @ConradGoodwin, @Johnseedo in collaboration with Genevieve Duggan + Pere Miró for calculations!

We know you have all been curious about organometallic complexes after uranium, so we wrote a handy review discussing the challenges and advancements published in @NatRevChem! This was a massive undertaking along with Ross + Cameron + @ConradGoodwin. https://t.co/mc3FxTPh5p

Yea so I’m moving over to Bluesky! Byeeeee https://t.co/LUIVqxSD8v

Check out @Elias_Alexo first publication in the Ortu group! Amazing results on some cool RE complexes! Also thanks to @FabOrtu - really fun working with you & debuting my first (co-)corresponding paper (definitely a step up from my MChem days! #runningman) 👨🏻‍🔬

Sophie has lead a paper now available asap in @ChemicalScience on a new toy for synthetic chemists to play with: half-sandwich fluorobenzene-bound rare earth complexes @jeff_jeffty_jef @GemGransbury @nfchilton @UoMChemistry https://t.co/gw8Hu4XYmG

Me again! Our work in @millsgroupchem involving Ln(II) complexes using a bulkier triisopropylsilylphosphide ligand is now published in @InorgChem! Huge thanks to all involved (@Team_Natrajan, @meaganoakley, @jeff_jeffty_jef and other non Twitter folk)! https://t.co/pOKLyLgvEz

Now in print. The reactivity of U≡N towards 3d-metallocenes, where we isolate a heterobimetallic actinide nitride-metal UNV linkage that exhibits AF exchange between U⁴⁺/V⁴⁺ ions. Please check it out! ☢️

Chemistry @OfficialUoM look forward to hosting the @RoySocChem Dalton Community Northern Regional Meeting 2024 tomorrow – 14/08. We've got an excellent lineup of speakers, posters, and are hosting @JuppLab for the 2024 Edward Frankland Prize Lecture. Schedule below.

The @RoySocChem Dalton Community Northern Regional meeting is coming up (August 14th). This is free to attend, just please sign up below and we look forward to seeing you! 🗣️ Talk abstract DL: 26/07 📰 Poster abstract DL: 02/08 https://t.co/uF1Cx9vn7U

A preprint of work led by @GemGransbury and @Hannahchemistry, together with colleagues @UoMChemistry @ConradGoodwin @michelevonci and in Australia @mjgians @nfchilton on trigonal lanthanide silylamide aminoxyl complexes, has been deposited on @ChemRxiv:

Excited to share a preprint of the first work I have done with @ConradGoodwin as PDRA. Check it out on @ChemRxiv, https://t.co/wizNdD3tfk, where we present a number of uranium(III,IV) thiolate complexes using Power's m-terphenyl ligand! Thanks @Johnseedo & @jeff_jeffty_jef!

Really excited to share this collaborative work on the “Use of Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy for the In Actu Assessment of Frustrated Lewis Pair Encounter Complexes” with ⁦@DuncanLBrowne⁩ @adeporch⁩

Rare-Earth-Metal Alkyl and Aryl Compounds in Organic Synthesis (Reiner Anwander and co-workers) #openaccess

Low-coordinate neptunium 4+ robbed of electron, steals it back (you'll never guess how!!) ➡️ https://t.co/FfZ7Prl6N2 @jenchem @KaitlynOtte @Popov_Group @bessvlai @Storms_LaPierre

Super excited to share the group’s first foray into low oxidation state rare earth chemistry! Featuring rare Sc / Y / La2+! Please see the @ChemRxiv: https://t.co/M8YueRahOL Big thanks to @nfchilton and @UK_EPR_NRF team for getting key insights on these complicated systems.

This paper is now published in @InorgChem!
