LaNa (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften) just started with a great talk by Katharina Höfer @unimarburg.bsky.social

What happens if you combine phosgene, neutron diffraction and DFT? A Tale of polymorphism, and intermolecular interactions! Three years in the making and finally published in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social: Congrats, Sven! #molecules #phosgene #neutrons doi.org/10.1002/ange...

Crystal Structures and Intermolecular Interactions in α$\alpha$‐ and β$\beta$‐phosgene

Despite its notorious reputation as a war gas, phosgene (COCl2${\rm COCl}_2$) is one of the most important intermediate chemicals in industry. In this study, we present the crystal structures of two ....

Our review has been awarded the front cover of Inorganic Chemistry 🥰 @acs.org Thank you Stephan @hohlochlab.bsky.social for the great collab! pubs.acs.org/cms/10.1021/...

The joys of synchotron beamtime to collect single crystal data 😊 (credit goes to my student Sven for the video - cheers!)

A forgotten molecule gets a second chance: Dr. Frank Tambornino explores thiocarbonyl dithiocyanate, once overlooked, now revealing surprising properties and potential in modern chemistry. doi.org/10.1002/chem... Watch the full talk: scitube.io/dr-frank-tam... #MolecularScience #SciTube

Thiocarbonyl Pseudohalides – The Curious Case of Thiocarbonyl Dithiocyanate

The constitutional and rotational isomerism and of two thiocarbonyl pseudohalide compounds are investigated with crystallography, NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as DFT calculations. It is sh...

Thanks for having me @unimarburg.bsky.social & thanks for a great evening! 🙏😄 @wernckelab.bsky.social @lablichtenberg.bsky.social Frank Tambornino @haenisch-group.bsky.social Super-nice to catch up with @fabiandankert.bsky.social & looking forward for truly exciting September news 🙂👐😱👍

Here is everything you've ever wanted to know about the history of Cyanates and the chemistry of the heaviest congeners: Our Review has just been published ASAP with Inorganic Chemistry @pubs.acs.org. Link: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Thanks go out to Stephan Hohloch for the great collaboration!

Historical and Recent Developments in the Chemistry of Cyanate Congeners

The cyanate anion, [OCN]−, and its heavier congeners with the general formula [ChCPn]− (Ch = O–Te, and Pn = N–As) are fundamental in introductory chemistry textbooks, chemical laboratories worldwide, ...

Excited to kick off this new account with great news: our latest work just appeared in Angewandte Chemie (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)! Huge thanks to our fantastic collaborators from the groups of Florian Weigend, Xulian Xie, and Xue-Bin Wang!

A Thorough Characterization of the Tellurocyanate Anion

[K@crypt-222][TeCN] was synthesized from KCN, Te, and crypt-222 in acetone. We discuss fundamental properties of [TeCN]−: Single crystal X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance (13C, 15N, 125Te...
