We are looking for a PhD student/Postdoc🔥
not bound by any particular chemical transformation, yield, or selectivity, we aim to demonstrate concepts across flexible sets of reactions, ultimately generalize them into principles of reaction design.
Please send application to: gqiu@kofo.mpg.de

missing person reappears 🤩

Our new work! Beyond thermodynamic effects, we present a previously unrecognized dimension: dispersion also affects how sensitively reaction barriers respond to changes in thermodynamic driving force. With that, we got another intrinsic reactivity modulator in hand 🔥

Understanding the divergence in outcomes between mechanochemical and solution phase reactivity of fullerenes Garcia-Padilla and Maseras computationally investigate the origin of the selectivity switch in the reaction of fullerene with cyanides in solution and under ball-milling conditions. The concentration ...

Very happy to share the latest publication with the Maseras group at @iciq.org! Interested in how DFT can be applied to ball-milling reactions? Exploring a rare divergence in outcome between ball milling and solution-phase reactions of C60...

Thanks Tim! Haven’t seen you for a while, thought you were in the outer space😆 my postdoc is the main hero in this 🔥

Thanks Nick! This time I’m the less useful one 😆

Global Kinetic-Thermodynamic Responses: Derivation of a General Non-Linear Equation and Demonstrations on Chemical Reactions How to accelerate a reaction has been a critical question in physical organic chemistry, eliciting multiple models describing the interplay between kinetics and thermodynamic driving forces. However, ...

Check our group's new pre-print🔥 A fully deductive model describing global rate-driving force relationships. NOT statistical fitting, and differs significantly from existing conceptual models😉 @garciapadilla.bsky.social deserves the highest credit! | ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/3Q3EQka

a bottom-up way might be: enrich the extensiveness (alongside intensiveness) of authentic science grounded in conceptual coherence, bring more concrete known unknowns to forefront; gradually foster small (and more) ecosystems of such scientific values, letting pseudo-contextualization fade naturally

Definitely worth a read #ChemSky. How can we move away from the increasingly "ornate" pseudo-contextualisation of science?

Exceptions, Paradoxes, and Their Resolutions in Chemical Reactivity Progress in chemistry has primarily been framed through inductive processes, leading to the frequent emergence of exceptions and unexpected reactivities. These anomalies─ranging from surprising reacti...
