Synthetic scheme showing an NHC reacting with carbon suboxide as highlighted in Synfacts.
Tanner's work on trapping carbon suboxide with an NHC in Chemical Science (doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...) with collaborator Erin Johnson (Dalhousie U.) was highlighted in Synfacts! www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejo... #maingroup

In the first reaction scheme a cartoon chicken is being treated with chlorine. On the left side of the equation the chicken is saying “uck, uck, uck”. On the right aside it is saying “cluck cluck cluck”. In the second reaction scheme, the chicken is saying “uck uck uck”. It is treated with fluorine and there is a question mark on the right hand side of the equation asking what the chicken would be saying.
Chicken chemistry 101 a halogenation reactions. #chemsky
I think so. (Unless there is some weird reason other machines are made that make mirror images of the springs and another mirrored machine that puts those springs on the wood pieces.)

Congrats Marcus. 🎉🎉🎉
The Hudnall lab is hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow! Applicants excited about joining our recently relocated research group and interested in the synthesis of exotic main-group molecules, materials and heterodiatomics can email Dr. Hudnall directly. Please share!
Happy to hear it is all finalized. You will be missed on this side of the country!
🚨PhD position in synthetic inorganic chemistry in our group.🚨 The position is joint with semiconductor company TOK and will involve trip(s) to Japan!

Big life update: I'm starting as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Lethbridge! 🔬📚🧪
Feeling excited to be stepping into this new role and connecting with the commuity at ULeth. Huge thanks to everyone who's helped me get here—couldn’t have done it without you.
If you are working on your travel plans for #CSC2025, consider staying a few days longer to attend #CCCW2025! New additions to our program this year will include an overview of crystal structure prediction and the use of CrystalExplorer! xtallography.ca/index.php/xt...
Pleased to see NSERC PDF Michael's (@michaelland.bsky.social) work typeset and pick up some heat during the process. It is out Open Access in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social and, by reviewer recommendation, as a 🔥Hot Article🔥!

For anyone thinking that the surgery-with-a-shovel approach being used to cut progressive research in the US wouldn't be implemented in Canada...
It’s out with page numbers! A big shoutout to co-author and grad student Deana Symes for doing a lot of the heavy lifting on this Frontier article.
Be on the lookout for some sweet group 15 chemistry this summer from Deana. Radicals, sandwiches, and more!
A black-and-white photo shows a woman in a patterned dress with a lace collar and pearl necklace, sitting in a chair. The background features shelves with bottles and a wire basket, suggesting an early 20th-century setting, possibly a pharmacy or study.
On this day in 1879, Maud Menten was born in Port Lambton, Ontario.
In her work as a medical researcher, she became a leading expert in histochemistry and enzyme kinetics while fighting against sexism in her field.
Let's learn more about her life!
