Publications, visitors, conferences and saying farewell ... 

Brigitta Németh defends her PhD thesis, " The birth of the hydrogenase", in Å4101 Ångström Laboratory, November 6 at 9:15 hrs. The opponent is  Dr Mohamed Atta from  iRTSV CEA Grenoble.

Special Issue in hoinor of the birthday boys Koop Lammertsma and Edgar Niecke with contributions from the Ott group and the Orthaber group is out. 

Muhamad Anwar Shameem defended his thesis in front of faculty opponent Prof. R. Fischer and committee members Jerker Mårtensson, Ute Cappel, ad Niclas Solin. 
Congratulations and big thanks to our latest Doctor in Synthetic molecular chemistry.

The final dissemination act of our past COST action on mart Inorganic polymers has been published. The book published by Wiley-VCH Our contribution is a chapter on organophosphorus polymers.

Our invited Article to a special Issue celebrating the 70th birthday of Prof. Dr. Koop Lammertsma and the 80th Birthday of Prof. Dr. Edgar Niecke was accepted in Eur. J. Inorg. Chem.
Congratulations to Josh and Arvind!

The autumn comes and brings new publications for the group

Our invited perspective article on coinage metal cluster compounds has been accepted in Chem. Eur. J. 

Congrats to Arvind. 

Last chance to register for the EWPC-15 in Uppsala Sweden! Deadline 31st of January 2018.

The Carl-Trygger foundation supports the Orthaber group with a postdoctoral stipend.

Congrats to our collaborators in @ SU, the Samec group. The latest paper on green allylic substitutions is out in Chem. Eur. J.

A two-years postdoctoral fellowship is granted from the Olle-Engkvist foundation to support the Orthaber group.

New co-worker in the Orthaber group; Josh Green joins our team as a postdoctoral researcher.

The Orthaber group got funding from the Swedish Research council (Vetenskapsrådet).

Our old D8 single crystal diffractometer has been upgraded with a brand new Molybdenum microsource...

A joint project by Tian-Orthaber-Berggren was funded by the Swedish Energy Agency.

The article presents the first application of Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy to study post-synthetic ligand exchange in metal-organic frameworks.

On the May 18th, 2017, Professor Patrick Holland from Yale University gave a Fotomol seminar titled "Nitrogen Fixation using Low-Coordinate Iron Complexes"

Sonja Pullen defended her PhD thesis on the 19th of May, 2017.

Professor Belén Martín-Matute from Stockholm University gave a fotomol seminar on the 26th of April, titled "Selective Synthesis of (Halogenated) Building Blocks Mediated by Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysts. Insights into the Mechanisms"

A technique is developed for electrochemical measurements of non-conducting MOF-catalyst composites with no need of growing them on the electrode

The work investigates how MOF confinement affects ligand substitution at the [Fe₂(dcbdt)(CO)₆] complex, which is a proton reduction catalyst.

In March 2017, Sascha Ott was elected as an Editorial Board member of the Dalton Transactions journal.

On April 27th, Sonja Pullen has nailed her thesis "Mimicking the Outer Coordination Sphere in [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Active Site Models - From Extended Ligand Design to Metal-Organic Frameworks"

The article, featured on the issue's cover page, describes succesful incorporation of a water oxidation catalyst into a metal-organic framework, enhancing stability of the catalyst and providing an important tool for tuning its properties in the future works.

Our group has participated in the annual scientific festival under the title "KEMI ÄR KUL".

Arvinds and Sunisas paper on the coordination chemistry of dibenzoarsoles was accepted in Inorganic Chemistry. Congrats!
A great combinatin of catalysis and structural investigations.

Shameems collaborative paper with Amal El-Nahas and Jens Uhlig on cyclopentadithiophene heterofulvenes is published in Chem. Eur. J.
!! CONGRATS!!

The new paper by Souvik and others addresses the role of transport channels in the performance of catalyst-MOF composites.

The article features groundbreaking selective analogue of McMurry aldehyde coupling reaction.

The new paper by Sonja and Sascha reviews photochemical hydrogen production with metal-organic frameworks.

On the 18th of November 2016 Sascha Ott was awarded the Full Professor title. This followed the installation lecture given in Museum Gustavianum on the 16th of November.

Our newly designed gold nanoparticles and their application in molecular electronics has been accepted in Mol. Sys. Des. Eng. Big thanks to our collabaroation partners from Engineering (Leifer group) and Montpellier (Serein-Spirau group).
