Chemical reactions mostly happen in the liquid phase but the influence of solvation remains poorly known. Comparing liquid and gas phase photoisomerisation, we show that although the process is slower in liquids, its vibrational dynamics remain coherent. nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

“We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race, and we do not want to become a mixed race either”
This was Viktor Orban at Baile Tusnad just now, tearing into Western Europeans for “mixing with non-Europeans”
To all the Orban-fans out there: *this* is what you’re supporting

Looks remarkably like EuI2.
Made [EuI2(THF)4], which is the purple under UV. Then as you dry it you lose THF down to ~EuI2(THF)2, which is the lighter blue.

This is neptunocene [Np(COT)2] team @TEAS_Actinides made today. Its not as pretty as uranocene but shiny crystals grew from this swamp within 1 min of adding the K2COT solution. Crystals can be seen shimmering in this video #fblockrocks

Hi there! We're hoping to film another episode this weekend, still looking for one more guest in the area of radiopharmacuticals/isotope labelling for medicine/nuclear pharma chemistry. If you in that area (or know someone who is) we'd love to have you on the show!
DM us!

Today marks the 60th death anniversary of the Weizmann Institute photochemist Yehuda Hirshberg, who passed away on September 20, 1960. He isn’t very well known, so let me take this opportunity to write a bit about him in what is my first thread on Twitter. (1/9)

Inorganic photocatalysis!! And who says Curtis doesn’t branch out of his own field. Very productive week, busy but productive on top of my usual teaching load #organometallics #academiclife #inorganic #photocatalyst #photochemistry #RealTimeChem #ozchem

“Systems that are less theoretically understood than atoms” is my new favorite roundabout way of saying “molecules” #chemtwitter

This is how MLK was depicted in 1967 to scare white Americans, in case there’s any confusion about what the strategy is.

There are three types of chemistry jokes:
1) Element puns (all the good ones Argon)
2) Molecular puns (alcohol is a solution)
3) Your data

Saturday afternoon in the US (early morning Sun in Aus) Episode 2 will be streaming live on twitch.tv/currentchem
We have 3 PhD Students as guests who all use protein crystallography in different ways for their research, all on the intersection of chem, physics and bio!

Episode 2 of CurrentChem is happening this weekend! It'll be Saturday at UTC 8:45pm, on the topic of Protein Crystallography! Will introduce the guests soon, looking forward to the show twitch.tv/currentchem/

Again, this isn't just about Angewandte (though I understand the anger directed their way)--it's about the fact that Prof. Hudlicky mentors with this world view and probably is far from the only one right now in his community

Hey @angew_chem, I just fixed Figure 1 for ya.
