Thank you U. of Alabama Chemical & Biological Eng. for choosing me for this year's Research Impact Award. Congratulations to all my students for their hard work and dedication!

I could not have done it without my great students. Congratulations to you!

A new postdoctoral scholar Khagendra Baral joined our group from Izabela Szlufarska's group at UW–Madison. Welcome Khagendra!

Maxson and Szilvasi show that equivariant machine learning interatomic potentials to describe the properties of vapor phase, liquid water, vapor-liquid interface, and various ice phases simultaneously. @szilvasigroup Tristan Maxson go.acs.org/9zh

Recent work from Elizabeth Papish Tibor Szilvási: Cobalt(I) CNC pincer complexes for CO2 hydrogenation to formate. 40,000 TON with rate acceleration due to Lewis acid Li+ and DBU base. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Very excited to share our recent paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc., from the Thesis of Philip Keil 🍾 We demonstrate predictable energetic tuning of cooperative H2 activation through ligand design, with amazing kinetic studies from PK, and DFT from Tibor Szilvási 🙌 tinyurl.com/2rjfwkuk

J. Am. Chem. Soc. Philip Keil Tibor Szilvási A great team effort here: Tibor Szilvási and Ezendu Sophia for mammoth comp chem input and Hadlington group members Philip Keil Annika Schulz and Malte Kubisz 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 All carried out in the CRC Catalysis Research Center at TU München Many thanks to European Research Council (ERC) and VCI for funding 😃

This is an important study for us: Not only can we readily tune these ligands and their subsequent chemistry, but this correlates well with calculated values, and couples with catalytic dehydrogenation - taking us towards true predictive ligand design. Exciting times 🤩

Excited to share a new publication, in collaboration with Tibor Szilvási and Prof. Jason E. Bara, published in I&ECR! We report oxidative dehydrogenation of symmetric di-ether-alcohols to the corresponding ketones over Pt/SiO2 catalysts, and promotion of Pt by Bi pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

I’m excited to share a new publication (led by Ethan, with the Bakker lab Alabama Chemistry and Tibor Szilvási) about metal phthalocyanines encapsulated in FAU including synthesis, characterization, and use in CO oxidation, in ACS Applied Nano Materials. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

This week’s “Bama Bio” is on Prof. Tibor Szilvási. Tibor Szilvási's research focuses on computational modeling of materials. To learn more about his work, visit: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
