A founding figure of physical & theoretical #chemistry has left us, whose research also influenced inorganic chemistry & chemical biology. Julien talked about Rudy Marcus, his contributions to our #science, & experimental tests confirming his theory, in class at @fau.de on July 15... #chemsky

Rudolph A. “Rudy” Marcus, a Canadian-born US chemist whose work on electron transfer helped shape the entire field of chemistry, died on July 16 at age 102. He was a chemist at the California Institute of Technology and a Nobel laureate: cen.acs.org/people/obitu... #chemsky 🧪

If instead of gifting a #Nobel medal to a #dictator you want to save it from him, #chemistry provides the #solution: aqua regia! Note: potassium triiodide, KI3, obtained by dissolving iodine crystals into an aqueous KI solution, works too. #ChemSky #resist #gold www.npr.org/sections/kru...

Dissolve My Nobel Prize! Fast! (A True Story)

It's 1940. The Nazis have taken Copenhagen, and physicist Niels Bohr has just hours, maybe minutes, to make two Nobel Prize medals disappear.

Our #ChemPrint paper on solution #ALDep (sALD) of a halide #perovskite w stability & carrier lifetimes improved wrt state-of-the-art #processing is on the cover of @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! Check out the pivalates hovering over the #surface to deliver Pb ions. #ChemSky doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Outside front cover: Solution ALD of (CH3NH3)(PbI3) Perovskite Thin Films Yields Functional Quality and Stability Superior to Classical Processing

Atomic layer deposition builds up solids in individual atomic steps by a cyclic repetition of successive surface reactions. In the Communication (e13903) by Julien Bachmann and co-workers this approa...

Just published in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social: Beautiful #ChemPrint collaboration btw. 8 @fau.de groups (@guldi-group.bsky.social & more) to establish 'solution #ALDep' (sALD) of halide #perovskites! We observe nucleation & growth #in-situ & demonstrate superior quality! doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Solution ALD of (CH3NH3)(PbI3) Perovskite Thin Films Yields Functional Quality and Stability Superior to Classical Processing

Chemically controlled deposition of the prototypical hybrid halide perovskite methylammonium triiodoplumbate(II), MAPI, is demonstrated in layer by layer fashion from the solution phase. Theoretical ....

True story: Paper: Electrolytic current scales linearly w/ length ℓ of cylindrical pore due to geometry Reviewers 1 & 3: Awesome! Rev. 2: Wrong, cylinder area scales w/ ℓ^2 Our rebuttal: Ahem, A = ℓ × π r^2 Adv. Mater. editor: Reject unless you add ℓ^2 Us: Nope DOI: 10.1016/j.jcat.2012.03.022

More than 20% of chemistry researchers have deliberately added information they believe to be incorrect into their manuscripts during the peer review process, in order to get their papers published. cen.acs.org/policy/publi... #chemsky 🧪

1 in 5 chemists have deliberately added errors into their papers during peer review, study finds Conclusion is one of many in a report about how chemists handle errors in manuscripts
