After some time, Annika's work on the first open-shell metallo-tetrylene is out 🥳 And it got the @chemicalscience.rsc.org
#PickoftheWeek stamp of approval, congrats Anni!🎖️

Great collab with Max Holthausen, (Frankfurt) 🖥️

A listeria outbreak has killed four people and spread to 15 states, with U.S. officials linking it to frozen pasta meals sold at Walmart and Kroger. A related health alert cautioned about a similar product from Trader Joe’s.

Here's the latest from Goicoechea Group alumnus and master synthetic chemist Chenyang Hu:

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Some very elegant double-bond metathesis chemistry allows access to a phosphorus(III) telluride completing our collection of phosphorus-chalcogen double bonds.

Synthesis, Isolation, and Reactivity of a Phosphinidene Telluride

We describe the synthesis and isolation of a phosphinidene telluride. This species acts as a versatile phosphinidene transfer reagent accompanied by the extrusion of elemental tellurium.

Las pensiones son altas porque te devuelven lo que has cotizado. En cambio, los planes de pensiones consisten en que un banco te cobre 5 euros por cada euro que te piensa devolver.

Por eso las pensiones tienen mala prensa y los fondos de pensiones se compran pisos para Airbnb.

This is a clever way to distinguish PCET from PT/ET pathways: using pressure.

ET/PT mechanisms lead to larger volume changes due to solvation of charged species.
