The special issue of Monatshefte für Chemie titled “Functional polymers: chemistry, light, and applications in memoriam Wolfgang Kern” is now available & contains an obituary for Prof. Kern, as well as 21 articles on polymer chemistry and technology. link.springer.com/journal/706/...

lol - läßt sich aber gar nicht leicht überprüfen, ich finde keine jugendfotos von karl
We @tugraz.bsky.social disclosed a modular and inexpensive method of generating carbenoid reactivity in situ. Azoles & oxiranes catalyze the benzoin condensation. O2 exclusion is unnecessary. Utility is demonstrated by making a thermoset from the glycidylether of vanillin. doi.org/10.1002/adsc...
Mark your calendars! The next YPRA (Young Polymer Researchers Austria) meeting will be held in Leoben from June 29 to July 1, 2026. Visit the website for more information. ypra.at/frontend/ind...
@chemrxiv.org you can find work on Lewis base/oxirane combinations acting as a catalytic system in the glycolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone

There's no need for thiols anymore! 😁
Hot lithography with formulations based on novel photobases, alcohols, and acrylates is disclosed in Mater. Horiz. doi.org/10.1039/D5MH...
News from @tugraz.bsky.social: Residual DMF compromises photostability of Zr MOFs – fluorination does not help! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
New @chemrxiv.org: interested in an inexpensive way to take advantage of carbenoid reactivity without excluding humidity or oxygen? Take a look here: doi.org/10.26434/che... #nhc #organocatalysis #polymerization #chemsky
Great study led by Nina Strasser @tugraz.bsky.social on changes in thermal expansion of a MOF upon de- and rehydration just released @jmaterchem.rsc.org ! see: doi.org/10.1039/D5TC...
Read about GUT (Graz University of Technology): Zn(II) based coordination polymers with 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoate ligands (sc- & p-X-ray, IR supported by theoretical calculations, TGA, gas adsorption properties (N2, CO2, CH4) and solubility in water & buffer). doi.org/10.1002/ejic...
makes sense - the author of the engraving is Elizabeth Blackwell en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabe...
But, getting back to your riddle, was the place a Blackwell bookstore?
You're at my house? I'm confused!
what a beautiful flyer!
Are you curious about the Lewis base-mediated homopolymerization of epoxidized eugenol and its copolymerization with DGEBA? Take a look here: doi.org/10.1007/s007... spoiler: You will see big differences between K54 and 1-methylimidazole.
von außen mike schaut's eher so aus, dass ihr kein vernünftiges personal mehr habt - das kabinett ist ja echt zum gruseln. - anders gesagt: die rechten tanzen euch nicht auf der nase herum, die CD/SU und SPD stellen sich selbst ein bein.
Understanding the reversible intercalation of guest molecules into MOFs is crucial for advancing their design for practical applications. In a new preprint, we explore the impact of water as a guest molecule on the thermal expansion of the zinc-based MOF: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05189
Final preparations for the (Porous) Material Project Partnering Day at TU Graz on Monday.
The combination of Brillouin scattering data with simulations of elastic properties and phonon bands allows the determination of approximate values for the components of the elastic tensor of the studied MOF, even for comparatively small single crystals. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
All presentation slots are booked! If you would like to learn about the expertise of more than 25 workgroups and companies and potential collaboration opportunities, you can still register with Marion Hofmeister (marion.hofmeister@tugraz.at) and attend the event on February 3, 2025.
Sergey Borisov and I are organizing a networking event at TU Graz in 2025. Are you interested? Any questions? Then sign up or ask me if you need more information. #materials #graz #styria #chemsky
would like to be added to this list - please also add @k-ehrmann.bsky.social, @robbiewoody.bsky.social and @bismarck-pace.bsky.social and you will probably have all more senior blueskiers from the Austrian polymer community.
During the Austrian Chemistry Days 🧪⚗️, Karin Ratzenböck and Susanne Fischer received the Best Review Article Award 2023 of the Monatshefte für Chemie #springernature #GÖCH for their paper on oxa-Michael polymerization. link.springer.com/article/10.1... Many congratulations!
New #ChemRxiv & GUT! Preparation and characterization of zinc(II) coordination polymers with 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoate linkers; all steps using only water as solvent. There's also DFT-based assignment of IR spectra by the Egbert Zojer group. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Portrait of Prof. Fritz Sauter
ChemSky have a look at the latest issue of Monatshefte für Chemie which is dedicated to the life and work of Emeritus Fritz Sauter (1930-2022) link.springer.com/journal/706/... including a foreword by Hannes Mikula and 12 papers on heterocyclic chemistry carried out in Austria.
The sky is burning over Graz tonight.
