Be like Dom. Come and join us for a joint Monash (Jones group)/Bath (Hill group) PhD on low-valent Gp2 chem, spending time in 2 great cities/departments. Project info at tinyurl.com/ywu8r8xj, apply at tinyurl.com/3wzumh94 before May 24th. #ozchem #PhDposition

Farewell to Siad, who is leaving us after a very productive 6 week stint. Should be some neat Manganese chem coming out of it in due course. And, no, he didn't mis-read the label on the jar in the GB, hoping for Magnesium. #ozchem

Dat and Matt's (Dat Tien Nguyen and Matthew Evans) paper on some very bulky 6-membered N-heterocyclic germylenes is out in J. Organomet. Chem. This one is dedicated to Evamarie Hey-Hawkins in celebration of her stellar career in chemistry. #ozchem Monash Chemistry sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share that our review (Jones Research Group) is out now in Chem Soc Rev!
Here, we discuss the synthesis of low oxidation state & hydrido group 2 metal complexes and their reactivity towards gaseous substrates 🧪

Typeset version of this paper (first collaborative outing with project lead Dr Anker) on the first discrete Eu(II) hydride complex is out in Chemistry. More on big ligands doing big things across the ditch soon. #ozchem Monash Chemistry …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Congrats to Dom who has just submitted his PhD thesis on low-valent/hydrido Gp 2/14 chem. Dom is a joint Bath (Mike Hill group)/Monash (Jones group) PhD candidate, who spent time at both institutions. Papers will appear soon. #ozchem Monash Chemistry

By using bulky bis-anilide ligands, the Jones Research Group group has formed complexes with all of the group 2 metals, which are geometrically forced into eta-6 arene interactions with the ligand. Please have a look at how this lines up: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Welcome to Siad Wolff who has joined us as an exchange PhD student from the excellent
Christian Limberg group Humboldt Berlin Chemistry. This part of our Monash/Berlin student exchange programme. #ozchem Monash Chemistry

Dat's nice paper on bulky diamido group 2 metal systems has been accepted Inorganic Chemistry. More on this compound type soon. #ozchem Monash Chemistry tinyurl.com/2uc4dv6p

Congratulations to Rahul, who submitted his PhD thesis today. It's been a hellava ride! The highlight of his work (so far) can be read here tinyurl.com/2s3mwcd5. #ozchem Monash Chemistry

After 25 years of Takats' first report of a molecular Yb(II) hydride, now the first molecular Eu(II) hydride has been reported. Amazing work by the team, congratulations! I was lucky to attend Georgia's talk on the Eu(II) chemistry at Dalton-2023, Coventry, last year.

First example of a Eu(II) hydride just out in Chemistry. Great collab led by Dr Anker. First of many. Super bulky ligands getting the job done yet again! #ozchem Monash Chemistry

Interested in doing main group chemistry,IIT Palakkad, there is an opening for a junior research fellow (JRF) position in a SERB-sponsored project. Interested CSIR-NET or GATE candidates can check out the advertisement for more details. icsr.iitpkd.ac.in/node/1281

Chemistry@Bath Uni is hiring (again!). This time we are searching for an Inorganic Chemistry Lecturer... Deadline for applications is 20th March. #ukchemjobs #inorganic bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.a…

Today we sadly say goodbye to Christoph Helling, who has been with us since 2022 as a Feodor Lynen Fellow of the Humboldt-Stiftung. Some more of Christoph's nice Monash Be chemistry should appear soon. Gute Reise Christoph! #ozchem Monash Chemistry
