Congratulations to the Bach group (@bach-lab.bsky.social) for this very nice Co-catalyzed asymmetric C-H alkylation, to which we contributed a few DFT calculations: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Upon catalysis (1 mol %) by a chiral cobalt porphyrin, quinazolinones with a tethered diazo alkane precursor underwent an enantioselective C–H alkylation at carbon atom C4. Formation of five-, six-, a...

Chiral control through halogen bonding could be the next frontier for organocatalysis – allow Victoria Atkinson to guide you through the hisory, complexities and exciting new prospects on the horizon.
We are hiring again, please share, thanks!
PS: Applications (including a short research proposal) only via our university's online system please.
Ich wollte das erst später posten. Doch die Meldungen der letzten Tage zu nahen Kippvorgängen im Erdsystem nebst globaler Abkehr von einst etablierter Rationalität gibt nun tragischen Anlass. Ab 7.5. ist im Kino zu sehen, wie drei Akteure aus den Wissenschaften mit alldem umgehen.

We are hiring! Please spread, thanks!
PS: Note that all applications have to go through our university's new online portal, see link in the pdf.
Thank you, ChemistryWorld, and Victoria in particular, for featuring some of our work!
Finally out (after a long time on ChemXRiv...): our first swing at self-complementary halogen bonding building blocks.

Chiral control through halogen bonding could be the next frontier for organocatalysis
Just as chemists harness hydrogen bonds when designing organocatalysts, researchers have started using halogen bonds to promote a variety of reactions.

In this study we present the first isolated zwitterionic homodimers based on halogen bonding (XB). After optimization of the structures by changing the Lewis base (LB) and the backbone, their dimeriz...
