In our latest pre-print we show it’s possible to access a range of diphosphinoborane ligands with different substitutions on either the boron fragment or phosphine fragment. Congrats to Ryan, @mattdv-t.bsky.social and David.

A new synthetic approach to accessing a wide range of diphosphinoborane ligands and their coordination behaviour to low-valent nickel centres is described. The synthetic route negates the use of ArBCl2, which are challenging to access, and utilizes ...

Today, the European Commission opens the 2026 call for the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships, with a budget of €399.05 million. These fellowships support researchers holding a PhD to carry out their research activities abroad and acquire new skills in different disciplines and sectors. Researchers will benefit by working with leading scientific teams, contributing to the EU\'s competitiveness through their cutting-edge research.
The number of grant applications is rising sharply. Our capacity for their evaluation isn’t.
ERC President Maria Leptin explains why stricter resubmission limits are being introduced for 2027 calls and what they mean for applicants.
