We feel not comfortable working outside a Schlenk - Chemistry and Catalysis with a selection of the finest elements

After @wpiers.bsky.social and Muralee Murugesu, @marcuswdrover.bsky.social showed which great chemistry is done in Canada. Thanks for visiting #CHEMnitz and your fantastic talk

We very much enjoyed the visit of Wolfram Pernice and his insightful talk in our joined chemistry-physics @gdch.de colloquium at Technische Universität Chemnitz. Thanks for visting #CHEMnitz

Guido Clever from @bci-tudortmund.bsky.social kicked-off our @gdch.de 2026 lecture series with an amazing talk on supramolecular chemistry. Thanks for visiting #CHEMnitz

Bimetallic Activation of SF6 by a Bis(Gallylene) | Inorganic Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Tonner-Zech, Kretschmer, and co-workers @InorgChem #gallium #bis_gallylene #SF6 #4DMAP #DFT

It was a lot of fun to give the traditional #CHEMnitz Christmas lecture. Great to such a good resonance and we finally made it into the News: www.ardmediathek.de/video/mdr-sa... @chemnitz.de

This week we had the great pleasure to have Florian Kraus (Marburg soon to be in Bonn) in our @gdch.de colloquium here at #CHEMnitz. Fascinating insights into a world of chemistry we could never touch. Fun fact: He also showed results from his co-worker Tobias Chemnitz

Happy to see our joint work with @hering-lab.bsky.social on Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles that we dedicated to Manfred Scheer on the occasion of his 70th birthday published. Congrats to the team and many thanks to @dfg.de for funding. chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Aylin's and Max's work on the activation of SF6 by our bis(gallylene) has been published @acs.org Inorganic Chemistry. Nice collaboration with @ralftonner.bsky.social. Thanks to @dfg.de for funding. #CHEMnitz pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The work of Marcella and Janine on the non-innocence of a bis(β-diketiminate) is now part of a Themed Issue dedicated to the 60th birthday of @christianlimberg.bsky.social and Franc Meyer. Thanks to @dfg.de and TU Chemnitz for funding #CHEMnitz onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our joined work with @harder-research.bsky.social and @mikedelity.bsky.social is now online @rsc.org: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... If you are interested in bimetallics, ring-opening polymerization or both, you should definitely take a look. Thanks to the team. #ChemSky #CHEMnitz

The degradation of the kinetically inert and potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride by a bimetallic main-group ambiphile (Lewis amphotere) is reported. Reaction of the bis(gallylene) 1 with SF6 at 80 °C results in the selective formation of the bimetallic gallium(II) fluoride 2. Irradiation with UV light or the addition of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (4-DMAP) accelerates the reaction, enabling it to proceed already at room temperature. Computations reveal a bimetallic activation scenario and shed light on the accelerating effect of 4-DMAP.

Vor Weihnachten geht es auch an den Hochschulen nicht so ernst zu. Die TU Chemnitz zum Beispiel bietet öffentliche Weihnachtsvorlesungen in verschiedenen Fächern an und empfiehlt sich damit auch bei a...

The ambident reactivity of the bis(gallylene) is demonstrated by the reactions with azobenzene and the triphosphirane (PMes)3, which give rise to a bis(spirocyle) and a 1,2-diphospha-3,4-digalletane,...

Polyesters such as polylactic acid belong to the most useful biodegradable polymers being able to substitute polyolefins in many applications. In search for potent catalysts based on bio-compatible an...
