Hot off the press in @JOC_OL 👉 Using synchrotron #PEPICO spectroscopy, we tracked lignin pyrolysis intermediates on HZSM-5.
No fulvenone detected — aldehydes decarbonylate directly to phenol instead.

Happy birthday, NCCR Catalysis, SNSF and Switzerland! 😍🎂🇨🇭
Today, we celebrate our program’s fifth birthday, amid a busy reporting period! 📑🧑🏻💻
Thank you for the continued support @snsf_ch, @ETH @ETH_DCHAB, and @EPFL @EPFL_CHEM_Tweet! 🙏🏻

Wonderful radical spectroscopy by Team Bochum @SolvationSci @ChemieBiochemie using #PEPICO from #SLS
Discovering Elusive N-centered Radical & Cation with @PatHemberger, @MayankPhyChem, @AdrianPortelaG at @psich_en, @ruhrunibochum and @SolvationSci.

This great piece of work by @MayankPhyChem, @emendezvega, and @AdrianPortelaG from the #SanderGroup at @ChemieBiochemie highlights the unique stability and versatility of N-centered radicals. #ThankYouSLS
VUV photoionization of N-carbazolyl radical and its antiaromatic nitrenium ion was studied using PEPICO at @psich_en @SolvationSci by @MayankPhyChem, Sander and @PatHemberger. N-centered radicals have higher ionization energy than their C analogues.

Small doors right next to the big ones, small washbasins at different heights and small toilets: The new PSI day-care centre is designed to be ideal for children. They moved in at the beginning of August. brnw.ch/21wMasj
🔥 Maillard reaction, baby! Chemistry at its yummiest! 🍢✨#chemistswhocook #kidsfun
Nothing quite matches the heart-stopping anxiety of seeing ‘Decision on your submission’ in your inbox….
… But there’s a big relief when you finally read: ‘Your manuscript has been accepted.’
😅
What a great day to celebrate! Congratulations! A privilege to be part of that fabulous community. 🇨🇭❤️
Happy birthday, @NCCR_Catalysis, @snsf_ch, and Switzerland! 😍🎂🎉🪩 Today, we turn 4 and embark on new adventures in sustainable chemistry with our second funding phase!
