Just finished a cover design inspired by a scientific article by Jens Beckmann's group on the creation of a stable nitrene compound!
Check out the full text for more about the stability and properties of these fascinating molecules!

We unlocked new reactivity for gallium(I): The work of Simon Schreiner on the unusual insertion of alkynes into a Ga(I)-C bond by retention of both the oxidation state and the 'coordination number' of one is now online as a preprint: researchsquare.com/article/rs-417…

Yesterday, Dr Sakya S. Sen delivered an exciting lecture on low-valent group 14 chemistry at the University of Bremen. Turns out he is not only a powerhouse in science. He lifted an entire car all by himself. Not to forget his deep love of soccer

Chemistry history in the making: Marvin Janssen isolated the first room temperature stable nitrene featuring a triplet ground state: X-ray structure, paramagnetic, EPR-active, spin-delocalisation across phenyl ring. On ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/3VA6lFY

My small teaching project is done. 📽️ A series of videos about crystal structure refinement!
I struggled a lot when I was learning it myself and couldn't find resources that would describe/show it sufficiently, therefore decided to take care of it. (1/5) youtube.com/@WojtekStawski…

It is a great honour for me to have been awarded one of this year's ADUC prizes. Thank you very much!

Last friday Daniel 'Frodo' Duvinage defended his Ph.D. thesis with very high distinction. Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment. You rock the chemical universe of Bremen University since semester one.

GDCh Conference on Inorganic Chemistry GDCh will be held in Garching/Munich TU München, 16-18th September 2024!
