Nobel Prize in Chemistry for TUM Honorary Doctor Kitagawa

Japanese materials scientist and TUM honorary doctor Prof. Susumu Kitagawa has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Finaalllyyyy.... The first 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐒 (IF - 14.5)😍🤩...

Special thanks to Felipe Fantuzzi (need any introduction? 3rd paper together🫂) & Holger group (University of Würzburg), Sougata Sarkar Sir (without whom I'd not even have an M.Sc.🙏)... & my mother (for insisting on asking Felipe to start a collaboration)😘😍

🎁Congratulations to Hubert Schmidbaur @tu_muenchen entering the 90ᵗʰ year of his life today. He championed #molecular #inorganic #chemistry synthesizing iconic #maingroup #compounds of Be, Ga, Si, P and more as well as coordination and #organometallic compounds. His per-#aurated CAu₆ and NAu₆ compounds are still worth marveling at today.

"Here, we report a rationally designed #organometallic #catalytic system using earth-abundant metals that achieves Nylon-6 #depolymerization under mild and benign solvent-free conditions at unprecedented rates and selectivity. This process is effective for diverse commodity end-of-life articles such as fishing nets, carpets, clothing, and #plastic mixtures."

I should probably add to this and then pin it as a proper introduction at some point.

I currently work as a scientific #editor for a #chemistry journal. My background is previously in #teaching, with an interest in #inclusion, hidden curriculum elements and #wellbeing.

Prior to that, I completed a brief postdoc and PhD in #computational #chemistry which involved studying transition metal #catalysis, enzymes via #QM/MM and some side projects on #chalcogen electrochemistry and NHC - Au complexes.

I'm interested in #scicomm, #compchem and #organometallic #catalysis on this side of things.
