Our paper on the synthesis of >50 iodine reagents, and the systematic analysis of their electrochemical properties, is just out in Synthesis @synthesis1969.bsky.social 🤩

⚠️Full disclosure: this is my very first paper without transition metals! 😜 read it here: www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejo...

Today we had the pleasure to host Prof. Ala Bunescu from Bonn University 🤩 Ala shared her research on transition metal (photo)catalyzed reactions for sustainable chemistry. Check their latest paper to learn more about iron photocatalysis: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In January not only arrived the snow in Marburg, ☃️ but also our DFG grant funding kicked off – it will allow us to continue exploring the synthesis of organoiron(IV) complexes and their reactivity! 🤩🥳 Thank you @dfgpublic.bsky.social #Chemsky #Uni_MR Picture of the Chemistry Department last Friday!

2/4 We report the synthesis of alkynylferrates(III) and their one-electron oxidation to iron(IV) alkynylides. Fe(IV) alkynylides react to yield 1,3-diynes at room temperature.
