We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join the group and work on lanthanide photocatalysis. For further details please visit the university website:
https://www.uu.se/om-uu/jobba-hos-oss/lediga-jobb/jobbannons?query=787334
The deadline of the application is 4 February.
A position funded by the Carl Tryggers Foundation is available in the group. To apply please send your CV, list of publications, a summary of your research experience, and contact information for three references to eszter.borbas@kemi.uu.se.
The project concerns the development of catalytic reactions using photochemically generated divalent lanthanide species. Please see the group’s recent publications (JACS 2023, Org. Lett 2024) and this preprint for more information on the type of research we do. Strong organic/inorganic synthesis skills, or experience with lanthanide chemistry and spectroscopy is necessary.
Application deadline: January 7, 2025.
Her paper on Ln(II) formation with a variety of visible-absorbing chromophores has been accepted in Inorg. Chem.
A simple photocatalyst for Sm(II)-mediated reductions that absorbs visible light, works in aqueous solutions with 2% catalyst loading, and needs only 1 equiv. of ascorbate as a sacrificial reductant: read all about it in our new paper. Well done, Monika, Caroline, Jules and Rohan, and a big thank you to our collaborators Anders and Andreas!
Our manuscript on divalent lanthanide catalysis has just been accepted. Check out the Publications page for more.
Congratulations to Monika, Rohan, Daniel, and our wonderful collaborator Anders Thapper!
Read about the group’s investigations on the fluoride and cyanide binding properties of luminescent lanthanide complexes in this recent paper. Salauat even designed a cool cover for the issue!
Dani synthesised three regioisomeric monofluorinated carbostyrils (it’s a cool prep!) and incorporated them into lanthanide(III) complexes. Check out the results in his new paper here.
Daniel Kocsi, Daniel Kovacs, and collaborator Jordann Wells show in a shiny new Dalton paper that linkers are important and really worth thinking about.
Carina Sollert (former Erasmus and MSc-student) Daniel Kocsi have got their paper describing the synthesis of glycosylated pyrroles and oligopyrroles accepted in the Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines. Excellent work, Carina & Dani, and many thanks to Reuben and Andreas for the crystal structure!
The position has been filled.
There is an opening for a post doc in the group funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation. The project concerns the synthesis, characterization, and applications of lanthanide(III) complexes.
We’re looking for someone with strong synthetic skills. Experience with luminescence spectroscopy and/or electrochemistry is an advantage. Previous experience with lanthanide coordination compounds is not a requirement.
To apply, please send your CV, list of publications (not the actual papers!), a 2-page summary of your previous research experience, and contact information for 3 professional references to eszter.borbas@kemi.uu.se (subject: KAW 2021). Applications not following these guidelines will not be considered.
