@dr-berionni.bsky.social
Professor of chemistry at the University of Namur (Belgium) since 2018.
Organometallic, main-group chemistry, catalysis and organic reactivity. 🇪🇺
Thank you Yann @ytrolez.bsky.social : the main-group metal chemistry symposium #MGMCS2025 (3rdmgmcs.sciencesconf.org) at @sorbonne-universite.fr and the new CNRS funded French GDR M2P main-group & metalloid network (gdrm2p.fr) are really nice. Thanks @alexperezl.bsky.social & all organisers.

@dr-berionni.bsky.social group synthesized something weird. Again. Accidentally, this time.
It is first time when I see Cl2I- anion, and there only ~60 structures in the CSD.

Very interesting lecture by Dr. @bizetvincent.bsky.social (@alsacescf.bsky.social, @unistra.fr) at our chemistry department today : challenges and perspectives in fluorine chemistry with pentafluorosulfanylated alkynes. Thanks for visiting the University of Namur, UClouvain & ULB Brussels.

We’re very happy to see the work of the team highlighted during this nice and well-organized conference!
We are back after the coffee break. Now, @a_simonneau from @lcc-smac.bsky.social is taking us through how e-rich metal species and Lewis acids collaborate in small molecule activation. We are all looking forward to hearing from him.
