🎉 Our latest paper on polyyne synthesis by alkyne metathesis is now out in Angewandte Chemie 📰: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... A fantastic collaboration with the groups of Marc Mauduit, Matthias Tamm and Rik Tykwinski! 🤝 @iscr-rennes.bsky.social @tykwinskigroup.bsky.social

Synthesis of Conjugated Linear and Cyclic Polyynes by Selective Alkyne Metathesis

The formation of polyynes with an odd number of conjugated triple bonds is challenging, particularly for complex architectures since most established methods rely on irreversible C–C bond-forming rea...

What a wonderful week so far at #ACS2025 celebrating Eric Herbst!!

En route to San Diego for #ACSSpring2025. I’m looking forward to attending my first Committee on Economic and Professional Affairs (CEPA) meeting tomorrow. I’m also giving a presentation in the Astrochemistry Symposium in honor of Eric Herbst on Tuesday at 11 AM ☺️

I'm gathering examples of effective plots and infographics (particularly scientific concept diagrams) for a project in my course. Please send suggestions!!

Hi Bluesky! 👋 We are the NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO). #RadioAstronomy Telescopes: 📡 Very Large Array (VLA) 📡 Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) 📡 Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 📡 Green Bank Telescope (GBT) 📡 Next Generation VLA (ngVLA) 🔗: public.nrao.edu

#NASAWebb’s sensitive instruments are helping researchers make significant strides in analyzing molecular clouds— super cold environments where stars form. One to note are the deep, cold ices found in Chamaeleon I. Details: webbtelescope.pub/3U9BtKX 🔭 🧪
