For today's homework we made a diddley-bow with a @sigmaaldrich.bsky.social MeLi can at home 🤓. It sounds awesome!!! Also we used a bottleneck from a Solera bottle 💃🇪🇦. Making blues at 9 in school is sweet!

Acid–responsive rhenium(I) NHC complexes: pyrazine vs. pyridine Four rhenium(i) tricarbonyl complexes featuring pyridine- or pyrazine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes were synthesized and fully characterized, including the determination of their molecular st...

Lo de que se muera Rafael Amador pero que @elpais.com ilustre el obituario con una foto de Raimundo son de esas cosas que, además de un poco falta de respeto, hacen pensar que no hay nadie al volante.

Reviewer 1 and Reviewer 2 rejecting your paper

When two years of academic work vanished with a single click After turning off ChatGPT’s ‘data consent’ option, Marcel Bucher lost the work behind grant applications, teaching materials and publication drafts. Here’s what happened next.

Amazing sob story: "ChatGPT deleted all the work I hadn't done"

Catalytically competent nickel(I)–isocyanide compounds for cross-coupling reactions Nature Catalysis, Published online: 14 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-025-01473-9Nickel-catalysed cross-coupling reactions generally use Ni(II) or Ni(0) precatalysts. Here the authors report thermally stable dinuclear Ni(I) complexes with commercial isocyanide ligands for the efficient catalysis in Kumada, Suzuki–Miyaura and Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reactions.

Thanks!🙌

We've been working with a new ligand lately 🤓 . Many thanks to @ageinves.bsky.social for the support 💸💸 and @unisevilla.bsky.social for the constant support
