Tea in Geneva with dear friend Michel @michelrickhaus.bsky.social! 🫖 Had a fun day at U of Geneva yesterday!

Michal Juríček (@michaljuricek.bsky.social) Chemist • Science Communicator • Group Leader • University of Zurich

Fun day and evening in Zurich with Michal and friends! 😃 @michaljuricek.bsky.social

Thank you, Judy, for visiting us, great talk and a wonderful day and evening, it was a delight having you!

Enjoy Geneva with @michelrickhaus.bsky.social and see you soon :)

Interested in non-functional organic magnetic switches?

We actually do want to make them work — that’s why we study the ones that don’t, so we can make them function :-)

Kladnoite Chemically identical to phthalimide (phthalic acid imide, systematically named isoindole-1,3-dione; also known as 1,3-dioxoisoindole - a derivative of the ...

Ok, #Chemsky, apparently the fact you didn't know about phthalimide - it is a mineral, known among geologists as Kladnoite: www.mindat.org/min-2222.html

#Chemsky, there is a famous #MinCup25 competition for the best mineral and now it is a chance for organic chemistry to show its power with coronene.
And I have only one argument - REVENGE - look how these geologists draw it! And formula "C2 H"!

Great to catch up with @michelrickhaus.bsky.social 🥰

Even the naked cyclo[48]carbon allotrope has a measurable half-life at room temperature in solution! #PiSky

Big thanks to @helvchimacta.bsky.social for giving @michelrickhaus.bsky.social and me creative freedom to go a little wild in designing this editorial for the issue celebrating Marcel Mayor.

Molecular belts can go SUPERCOILED! An amazing 24-benzene and 24-thiophene fused molecular belt with a plectonemic geometry.

A Supramolecular Nanosheet Assembled from Carpyridines and Water The use of water as a solvent to facilitate supramolecular self-assembly and polymerization is well-documented; however, it is rare that water acts as a monomer that undergoes polymerization. We repor...

Water impacts self-assembly. But what changes really?

Osmium ensnared in a hydrocarbon ring Chemists make new class of planar organometallic compounds

An ABSOLUTELY spectacular structure by the Xia group at SUSTECH. Haiping & his team have been working on enveloping the metal with a fully conjugated carbon ring for over a decade, and they finally succeeded! This warms my reformed metallabenzene chemist's heart!
