What a way to kick off the fall term! We had the pleasure of hosting John Molloy from MPI Golm at TU Chemnitz this week. Truly inspiring chemistry revolving around Boron-containing molecules and radicals coming out of his lab.
Found the time for a sunset picture with Kalle as well...

This year‘s FuMo took place in the mountains! 🏔️ Together with @ivanafleischer.bsky.social, @teichertlab.bsky.social, @breugstlab.bsky.social & @kretschmerlab.bsky.social we spent four days in Obergurgl, full of interesting scientific talks, inspiring discussions and enjoying the Tyrolian nature.

Proud to share a true science story. We got inspired by our friends from the Dielmann lab in Innsbruck and joining the pieces together in a new NHC ligand has opened up copper hydride chemistry at low H2 pressure 🎈 for the first time. And new reactivity on top:
