Thanks Andryj, long journal for all on this one.

Thanks Maja! It was nice to see there’s still some life left in this molecule.

Excited to show our latest preprint “Uranocenium – The bis-[8]annulene Uranium Cation”.

Uranocene is oxidised to uranocenium cation both chemically, and electrochemically, with reversibility comparable to ferrocene.

This derives from an unusual electronic structure.

Like f-elements in unusual oxidation states?

Please look at this 4-year #PhD position between Manchester and Peking University to isolate formally divalent molecules and determine their electronic structures with advanced X-ray spectroscopic techniques.

Uranium(III) and Uranium(IV) meta-Terphenylthiolate Complexes We report the synthesis and characterization of crystalline m-terphenylthiolate uranium complexes supported by the bulky ligand system, SAriPr6 (SAriPr6 = {SC6H3-2,6-(Tripp)2}; Tripp = 2,4,6-iPr-C6H2)...

Happy to share Ben’s first full research article from his time in the group: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Challenging synthesis and some interesting new main group architectures making an appearance for the first time on an f-element.

Happy to announce two funded #PhD studentships for aspiring synthetic chemists to do some f-element molecule making.

(1) High oxidation states; (2) Tuneable electronic structures for qubits.

See: www.capgoodwin.com/pages/positi... for details, and below for both FindAPhD links.

Thanks very much for having me at Greenwich, was a lovely day out. Hope to catch up another time for more echem advice and Turkish delight.

Working on my X-it at the moment and shifting over here. The #Chemistry community is growing at a solid clip, and I look forward to seeing more new folks!

It’s fitting that my first post here includes some glorious crystals and #felement colours. Courtesy of 2nd yr PhD researcher Cameron Deakin.

Hi #ChemSky! 👋 We see you! Please give us a moment to get settled here.

It’s much easier to just spoon it in small portions onto ice in a well ventilated hood.

Except in very special circumstances, ice isn’t flammable :).

The only possible reaction to this. Wow.
