If you want organometallic lightning in a bottle…. look no further! ⚡️⚡️⚡️We synthesized (and isolated!!) one of the strongest organometallic redox agents in existence. Even more reducing than naphthalenide! 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Congrats Ageliki, and thanks for the DFT collab @GrimmeLab !!

Had a great visit to the University of Virginia @UVA chemistry department, graciously hosted by the one and only @DrChawz ! Had awesome meetings with students and faculty. Beautiful weather + good suggestions = plenty of new experiments to try in lab!

We have several #chempostdoc positions available in polymer synthesis and catalysis in the Tonks Group. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting on Oct 10. (slightly) more details available on my LinkedIn post! linkedin.com/posts/ian-tonk…


Students/postdocs: consider submitting a poster abstract to "2025 ACS Award in Organometallic Chemistry: Symposium in Honor of Robert Morris." Topics that broadly span organometallic chemistry are welcome (bonus points for hydrides 😉)! Deadline Sept 30th. callforabstracts.acs.org/acsspring2025/…

Ukraine has done nothing wrong to deserve this—except believe that Europe and the United States would defend them.

The russian attack on Poltava in Ukraine today is "one of the most horrific" since the war began, - The Times. 49 dead and 219 injured. Rockets from russia and North Korea, and soon also from Iran, are claiming more and more victims. With the delivery from Iran, experts expect…

Great news today at @chemuoft @UofT @UofTArtSci as two colleagues are recognized by the @AmerChemSociety @andrei_yudin awarded the A.C. Cope Scholar Robert (Bob) Morris the Organometallics Award cen.acs.org/acs-news/ACS-a…


But the fad of placing these on tables at weddings was awesome.

Kids today will never know what it was like to take a ton of photos, and have to wait a week to find out they were useless.

More Fe(Cpᴺ³) chemistry now out in @Orgmet_ACS!! Each H− reagent yields a different complex, and we observe Fe formyl complexes by NMR. DFT collab with @GrimmeLab was vital to understand rxn mechanisms. 💻 Congrats @Andy_Vandy_chem and Hagen! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Very few important things get done alone. Thank and recognize others for all they do.
