Another great scientist has been spotted here in #CHEMnitz. Mark @crimmingroup.bsky.social is around as a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Awardee of the Alexander von @humboldt-foundation.de. After a trip to a former uranium mine yesterday he delivered a great talk on molecular editing today.
After @wpiers.bsky.social and Muralee Murugesu, @marcuswdrover.bsky.social showed which great chemistry is done in Canada. Thanks for visiting #CHEMnitz and your fantastic talk
Guido Clever from @bci-tudortmund.bsky.social kicked-off our @gdch.de 2026 lecture series with an amazing talk on supramolecular chemistry. Thanks for visiting #CHEMnitz
Aylin's and Max's work on the activation of SF6 by our bis(gallylene) has been published @acs.org Inorganic Chemistry. Nice collaboration with @ralftonner.bsky.social. Thanks to @dfg.de for funding. #CHEMnitz pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Bimetallic Activation of SF6 by a Bis(Gallylene)
The degradation of the kinetically inert and potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride by a bimetallic main-group ambiphile (Lewis amphotere) is reported. Reaction of the bis(gallylene) 1 with SF6 at ...

Bimetallic Activation of SF6 by a Bis(Gallylene)
The degradation of the kinetically inert and potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride by a bimetallic main-group ambiphile (Lewis amphotere) is reported. Reaction of the bis(gallylene) 1 with SF6 at 80 °C results in the selective formation of the bimetallic gallium(II) fluoride 2. Irradiation with UV light or the addition of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (4-DMAP) accelerates the reaction, enabling it to proceed already at room temperature. Computations reveal a bimetallic activation scenario and shed light on the accelerating effect of 4-DMAP.

Happy to see our joint work with @hering-lab.bsky.social on Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles that we dedicated to Manfred Scheer on the occasion of his 70th birthday published. Congrats to the team and many thanks to @dfg.de for funding. chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles Derived from a Bis(gallylene)
The ambident reactivity of the bis(gallylene) is demonstrated by the reactions with azobenzene and the triphosphirane (PMes)3, which give rise to a bis(spirocyle) and a 1,2-diphospha-3,4-digalletane,...

This year‘s FuMo took place in the mountains! 🏔️ Together with @ivanafleischer.bsky.social, @teichertlab.bsky.social, @breugstlab.bsky.social & @kretschmerlab.bsky.social we spent four days in Obergurgl, full of interesting scientific talks, inspiring discussions and enjoying the Tyrolian nature.
Great winter term kick-off with an amazing talk by Colin Nuckolls in our @gdch.de lecture series at TU CHEMnitz.
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our ERC project AGILE at the interface of inorganic, organic and organometallic chemistry. A vibrant Team, cool chemistry and everything takes place in the cultural capitol of Europe CHEMnitz. Apply now: www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/p...

Great talk by Muralee Murugesu in our last @gdch.de seminar of the semester about single molecule magnets, where we learned a lot. Many thanks for coming despite the long trip from @uottawa.ca to #CHEMnitz
I really much enjoyed my time at CIQSO in Huelva. Many thanks to @groupmartinez.bsky.social for having me and congratulations to Hellen Videa for an outstanding PhD thesis!!!
Today we had the great pleasure to have Seb @riedellab.bsky.social in our @gdch.de colloquium at #CHEMnitz. Great science and impressive insights into chlorine chemistry.
LOW-VALENT Si, Ge, Sn, Pb: HOW LOW CAN WE GO??? Hydrocarbon-soluble Mg(0) reduces Si all the way to Si(4-). Unfortunately not stable and decomposing to the HSi(3-) anion. However, Sn(4-) is stable and functions as 4-fold Nu or 8e reducing agent. Preprint: shorturl.at/4mH0O
Last week, Dietmar Stalke @unigoettingen.bsky.social gave a wonderful lecture on what a bond is and what not in our @gdch.bsky.social colloquium. Very inspiring and of high educational value. #CHEMnitz
Great to have @evaheviagroup.bsky.social as a Bessel price awardee with us at #CHEMnitz. Thanks for an inspiring talk and a fantastic kick-off of 2025 - the year in which @chemnitz.de is the European Capital of Culture @teichertlab.bsky.social @breugstlab.bsky.social @mikedelity.bsky.social
New spectrometer as late Xmas present! Looking forward to use it in our close cooperation with @kretschmerlab.bsky.social and with @skahmn.bsky.social @tucphys.bsky.social !
New year, new opportunities!!! We can offer two interesting positions within our @ERC_Research CoG project #AGILE at the hearth of organometallic chemistry #ChemJobs #ChemPostdocs #PostDocJobs #PhDJobs #ChemSky #CHEMnitz
I am very honored to be among the chemists that have been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. Many thanks to ERC_Research and all the co-workers, mentors, colleagues, and friends for their support. Stay tuned for #AGILE chemistry and upcoming job openings. erc.europa.eu/sites/defaul...
