A great way to celebrate our first year in Vienna @univie.ac.at!

Our Se(III) radical project has been funded by the @fwf-at.bsky.social Austrian Science Fund (FWF)!!

🚨PhD & postdoc calls coming soon🚨
Stay tuned!

🔥Ever heard of Se(III) radicals? 🔥
Our first paper is out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social !
Bench-stable cationic selenuranes:
1️⃣ Minimal radical trication X-ray structure
2️⃣ Scalable to >17 g
3️⃣ Useful as group-transfer reagents

Plastic depolymerization and carbon capture in one paper - the aminolyzed PET shows surprisingly high thermal stability which led us to investigate for carbon dioxide capture and DAC. The material is scalable and the chemistry is robust. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Repurposing polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste to capture carbon dioxide
A scalable chemical upcycling of PET waste into an efficient, durable, and selective CO2 sorbent has been achieved.

Just in time! ⏰
Before some of us head to the beach, a new toy arrives at the lab. Ready for some (radical) fun!
