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.

The group (Dani & Dani & Salauat, in collaboration with Jordann Wells from the Orthaber group) has a new paper discussing the electron transfer processes that pyridine-containing luminescent lanthanide(III) complexes engage in. You can read the full story here.

Salauat, Emilie, Fiona, Daniel, and Ellen have a new manuscript accepted for publication in Molecules. The paper will be part of a special issue on luminescent lanthanide complexes. Nice work, everyone!

Dani, Emilie and Salauat, together with Jordann Wells from the Orthaber group and former exchange students Agnes and Ellen did a bunch of work on how the ligand can be used to improve the luminescence of Eu(III) emitters. They just got the results published in JACS. You can check the paper out here.

Anna and Rui have written a paper on the demetalation kinetics of synthetic chlorins. It’s now accepted (yay!) and will be published in the special issue of Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry dedicated to the International Symposium on Metal Complexes 2019.
