Our preprint on AgOSF₄X salts is out! We show a new prep for the Ag adducts and how they react with 1° amines to form RNSOF₂—both processes were only reported with SOF₄ gas so far. Tremendous work by @ArmirZogu, Karim and Stefanos! @MolDesignS tinyurl.com/var3azmw

Enabling SF5 compound synthesis: Now unveiled in #OrgLett from @Reza_Kordnezhad, @WimDeBorggraeve, and team, a method for on-demand SF5Cl gas generation using a safe, commercial reagent replacing lecture bottles. This approach unlocks SF5Cl applications. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Check out #RoboChem 🤖, this automated platform can do the entire substrate scope for our photocatalytic methodologies. We showcased it for 4 reaction classes and it improves chemist's yields every single time! When the students showed me the first results, i was speechless 🤯
Today we release #RoboChem 🤖 on @ChemRXiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv… #RoboChem is a versatile, all-in-one #robotic platform for #photocatalysis. It can optimize and scale your entire substrate scope and get you the best possible result for each single entry. #AI #Automation

Our work on the chemistry of thiazyl trifluoride (NSF₃) is out today in @angew_chem (bit.ly/3o8JbIt)! We report a way to make this beautiful, gaseous fluorosulfane and react some S-F bonds to make various thiazynes. Very happy with this one!🥳

Prof. Jean Jeener (ULB) was honored with the Otto-Stern lifetime achievement Award by the German Magnetic Resonance community. More than 50 years after conceiving 2D NMR the chemical community is still much indebted for his creativity and original thinking. Congratulations Jean!

Our work on thiazyl fluorides is online on @ChemRxiv: bit.ly/3ZOx1Bh. We show how S≡N triple bonded sulfur(VI) fluorides can be prepared from NSF₃ gas in typical SuFEx conditions. The real trick however was making the gas itself, which was solved by @BingYuLi5.
