There seems to be quite a lot more activity of chemistry people on LinkedIn compared to a while ago, but all the AI generic posts of business people are a bit annoying, so I don't check LinkedIn regularly. Similar posts get more attention/likes on LinkedIn compared to Bluesky, though.

Using rel. ECPs or ZORA gave very similar results, but for meaningful comparison the methods should be kept consistent. Thank you to Jan-Erik for doing such a great job during his research internship and beyond and Paul for the smooth collaboration! Open access funding through project #DEAL.

Lisa Vondung @lisavondung.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Including relativistic effects is of course crucial to properly describe the U-P bonding, as we found by comparing non-relativistic with relativistic ECPs. This also gave some nice insights into the influence of relativistic effects on the energy and availability of orbitals for bonding.

We introduced two NNS pincer ligands to uranium chemistry and could show that when coordinating to UCl4, two of the ligands bind to U, but only via the N. Deprotonating the coordinated amine unexpectedly led to the isolation of ammonium salts of the ligand. Uranium chemistry is full of surprises!
