Importantly dedicated to Masahiro Murakami, a master of imino carbene and organometallic reactivity, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Proud to be part of the special #Synlett cluster edited by Ruben Martin

Congrats Nidal Saleh Ke-Feng Zhang, the whole teams from Physical Chemistry, crystallography of Faculty of Science | UNIGE and chiroptical spectroscopy Rino Pescitelli DCCI UniPisa. So nice to work with all of you for this paper.

It was a pleasure to welcome you today UniGE - Organic Chemistry Department Thanks for sharing your latest results

Chemistry at Thieme Lacour Lab Gevorgyan Lab Itami Lab 伊藤 肇 (Hajime Ito) Bach Lab Rovis Group Happy birthday my friend. The least we could do is to offer a tribute to your science and to your career. What an impact your footprints have left in our hearts. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all authors that contributed to this special issue, truly appreciated.

Congrats Dávid Pál for the tetranitrofluorenone oximate as naked-eye detector and chiroptical sensor of H-bond donors. New in Chemistry doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…. Great collaboration with Céline Besnard Adiran de Aguirre and @amaliapoblador UniGE - Organic Chemistry Department, Rino Pescitelli DCCI UniPisa.

By ranking 49th in the latest ShanghaiRanking, UNIGE_en has achieved its highest ever ranking, as the 2nd best university in 🇨🇭. This is no doubt due to the Fields Medal won by Duminil-Copin. Above all, it is the result of the quality of our research and education program

En se classant 49e dans le dernier ShanghaiRanking, l'UNIGE atteint le meilleur classement de son histoire en devenant la 2e meilleure université suisse 🇨🇭. Pour notre recteur Flückiger Yves, la position de l'UNIGE dans ce classement est le résultat de la médaille Fields

With a lot of delay, it is about time to welcome Dr Nicolas Sellet and Dr Arthur Gaucherand, joining the group for their postdocs from Mulhouse and Marseille, respectively. Happy to have you in beautiful Geneva and UniGE - Organic Chemistry Department.

Lots of new chemistry for the group in 2024. Congrats Dávid Pál for your work combining chirality, coordination & supramolecular chemistry. Appeared in January in DaltonTransactions pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…. Shame on me for highlighting it before.

Also, Kudos to Claire, Pertschi Romain and Céline for accessing oxepines by Cu-catalyzed condensations of diazomalonates and vinyl oxetanes. Congrats for finding the solution to the long awaited [2,3]-Stevens pathway. Adv. Synth. & Catal. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Congrats to Zhuang ZHONG and Céline for reporting the N–H insertion reactivity of diazo malonates at RT. With [Ir(cod)Cl]2, no catalyst poisoning with a large range of amines, primary and secondary, aliphatic and aromatic. J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Fantastic to have colleagues like Eric Vauthey Faculty of Science | UNIGE. Congrats for observing symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) in bispyrene bichromophores. The Journal of Physical Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Great collaboration of Ke-Feng and Johannes Wega.

Congrats to Nidal Saleh and Céline for a new class of chalice-like phosphorodiamidite ligands. Unique concave geometry and stereocontrol of the P-atom. Nice application as ligand for enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed additions of boronic acids.J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Kudos to Claire Montagnon for her PhD dissertation and defense UniGE - Organic Chemistry Department. Well done. Thanks to ⌬Michel Rickhaus and Bull Group Chemistry for a great viva thanks to your expertise.
