Lukasz is promoted!
After considering the selection rules, Uppsala University promotes Lukasz to a very excited state! Lukasz becomes Associate Professor.
Martin Huber joins our group for a Masters project!
Martin Huber joins us from TU Wien for a Masters project via the Erasmus programme. Martin will be working on solvent-free reactions.
Our mechanochemical synthesis of Au(I) complexes is published in Green Chemistry as a 🔥 Hot Paper 🔥!
Shake, rattle and gold! We show that, whether you start from a C–H or a C–B bond, you don't need solvent or long reaction times to get an aryl-Au(I) complex – even with a bioactive molecule. Congrats to Fredric, Zachary and Sebastian who have literally been grinding out these results!
Lukasz becomes a Docent!
Lukasz becomes a Docent after giving his lecture on aryne chemistry. Thanks go to the evaluators, all relevant Docent board members and those who attended the lecture, both physically and virtually.
Zachary Giustra joins us for a postdoc
We welcome Dr. Zachary Giustra to the group. Zachary joins us from Boston College. He will work on greener and more efficient synthetic methods.
We welcome Josep to the group!
Josep Esteve Guasch joins us to carry out a 6 month research project in the group. He will be working on some new aryne chemistry. Welcome!
Our paper on green Au complex synthesis is published in ChemSusChem!
Triols and triturations! Our work on the green and efficient synthesis of Au(I) complexes is published in ChemSusChem! Congratulations to Fredric, Ann-Cathrin and our collaborators, Andreas Orthaber and Paul Gates! This is is the first of several upcoming studies we are working on that address greener synthesis as well as Au chemistry. Keep your eyes peeled!
Lukasz gives an invited talk in Santiago de Compostela
Lukasz gives an invited lecture at CiQUS at the University of Santiago de Compostela! Huge thanks to Dolores, Enrique and Diego for absolutely fantastic hospitality and very stimulating discussions.
