One of the most important papers ever written:

‘Is that a threat?’

‘Now if I were you, and I would not want to be you, I’d make sure I knew the difference between a threat and a promise’

I am excited to announce a fully-funded PhD Scholarship in Molecular Bismuth Chemistry (and beyond) is now available in our research group at Flinders University.

Richard Robson always had very small research groups and limited, sporadic funding. This has never been better illustrated than by the acknowledgement slides to the Nobel lectures of Robson, Kitagawa, and Yaghi (only 1 of 4 slides shown below). #ozchem #NobelPrize
The day is upon of yet again. 72 holes to raise money for friends gone too soon.

Great victory from Marcus! Want to oxidize something? This’ll do it.

1/2 🧪 Iodine is a critical ingredient in the chemical industry as a reagent which converts stable Carbon-Hydrogen (C-H) bonds into unstable and reactive Carbon-Iodine (C-I) bonds – prized for their ability to help change and create new molecules. Read: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Just out online in @NatRevChem - my article on the #elementsets project.
Read all about the journey from crazy and naive late night thought bubble to 1.5 million better student lessons on the periodic table here: rdcu.be/el2F4.

Awesome stuff from Marcus. The whole scope of I(III) chemistry we thing can be dialed up to 11 using carborane.

Marcus and co’s tour de force of iodination! Want to iodinate a difficult arene? This will do it.

In a couple weeks I’ll be playing 72 holes of golf in a day (carrying the whole way!) in honour of one of the Friday golf crew lost this year to raise money for cancer research. Please consider throwing down a few bucks for the cause!

If the AI can do your assessment and this also bothers you….you can’t do that assessment anymore and are going to have to think of something else.
Of course. It’s called Research, not Refind.

Here is the promised update! Now the EPA has released their statement we can reveal all the disgusting details of the ‘tar balls’....
...which are actually human-generated waste of fat and grease!
Here’s what @UNSWScience and MWAC found… thread below! 🧵
A great team effort here led by Marcus, for whom ‘this works OK’ was not nearly good enough and spent a year making it work awesome. Want to iodinate a difficult arene but don’t want to use straight H2SO4 as your solvent? This ‘ll do it.
