... and some long-dead flora as well (chemistry has been slow over Easter!)

Potential PhD position for a UK student in our group! If you are interested, please get in contact. It is the usual rush at this time of year as it needs to be filled with three weeks!

Got a Chemistry and Climate Change event to promote: Perspectives on Decarbonisation. It's on Wed 26 October Summerhall See: eventbrite.com/e/chemistry-an… @Eventbrite

New paper! Preformed Pd(II) Catalysts Based on Monoanionic [N,O] Ligands for Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling at Low Temperature mdpi.com/2099946 #mdpicatalysts via Catalysts MDPI

50 Years of Chemistry at the Riccarton Campus of Heriot-Watt University. Happy to be speaking at this event today!

Sustainable routes to alkenes: applications of homogeneous catalysis to the dehydration of alcohols to alkenes - now published in Catalysis Science & Technology pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our contribution to a Special Issue of Johnson Matthey Technology Review on Sustainability is out and ready to look at. We reviewed "Moving from Fuel to Feedstock" by harnessing C-H activation processes, still dominated by Precious Metal catalysts.

Here's an opportunity for PhD studies in my group: findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Very happy to be part of the RSC's Catalysis Science and Technology most popular articles of 2023: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/ar… It goes to show that many people must be interested in sustainable routes to alkenes!

Catalyst Design for Rh-Catalyzed Arene and Alkane C–H Borylation: The NHC Affects the Induction Period, and Indenyl is Superior to Cp | Organometallics pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Great to see our paper on Rh catalysis is out. 3 years of hard work!

Students who work in labs during the summer get an exciting window into research life and can serve as nucleation points for new ideas and catalysts for research progress, as Victoria Atkinson writes. chemistryworld.com/careers/summer…

Summer students act as an important catalyst for research: chemistryworld.com/careers/summer…
