Excited to share our latest uranium work: "Isolation of uranocenium, the bis-[8]annulene uranium cation" Uranocene was named so because it resembles ferrocene, kinda. So where has the uranium analogue to ferrocenium (uranocenium) been hiding? www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ChemSky #felements

nature.comIsolation of uranocenium, the bis-[8]annulene uranium cation - Nature CommunicationsWhile ferrocene is readily oxidized to the ferrocenium cation, higher oxidation states of uranocene are unknown. Here the authors report the elusive uranocenium cation and demonstrate that this formal...

A few folks have asked how I make molecular animations from ChemDraw. Sadly, the answer has been “the old-fashioned way,” frame by frame. This was too slow. So I worked with Claude Science to create a webpage that animates your ChemDraws. Give it a try: rshenvi.github.io/cdxmorph/

Avoiding the path of LIESST resistance #chemsky

dlvr.itAvoiding the path of LIESST resistanceNature Chemistry, Published online: 25 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02259-7Access to long-lived light-induced states in earth-abundant transition-metal chromophores is desirable but hard to achieve. Now, enhanced metal–ligand covalency has been shown to increase the lifetime of the photomagnetic high-spin state in a manganese photoswitch.

Was wir jetzt tun, bestimmt Klima und Lebensbedingungen nicht nur für unsere Kinder und Enkel, sondern für viele Generationen. Es erfordert top Priorität und sehr rasches entschlossenes Handeln, um noch das Schlimmste zu verhindern. Haben alle Politiker die IPCC-Berichte verstanden? Gelesen?

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.
