Say hello to Ben 👋, my new MChem padawan here in the O'Hare group at Uni Oxford 👨‍🔬👨‍🏫. Together we will explore new worlds in the organometallic universe for the next couple of months 😎 (and of course I ve sent him through the organic proligand synthesis parkour first 😄).

Superb idea: Introducing alternatives to dichloromethane in teaching labs! I love my DCM in few synthesis applications, but avoiding it in teaching labs is the way to go 💪. Nicely written and comprehensive view on things. #DCM #Sustainability pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Alternatives to Dichloromethane for Teaching Laboratories
New US regulations restricting dichloromethane (DCM), also called methylene chloride, may prompt instructors of teaching laboratories to avoid its use entirely. This commentary addresses the hazards, ...

A global concern: Can fluorochemical production be sustainable? Turns out you can avoid CaF2 mining and utilise existing (problematic) F-chemicals as source for other F-compounds via a trivial one-pot protocol at any conventional Schlenk line! More details in our preprint (click below)

Am I the only one who can't tag or post pictures here? Each time I come close to these ideas... this app is imploding 😡. Reinstalling hasn't helped. Meh.

It's a wrap: My time in the Crimmin group at Imperial College has come to an end! 😯 Very eventful two years and I am very thankful for all I ve seen and learned. 🕺🙏 Now time to calm down... at #Dalton2025 and talk for the first time (Wednesday) to others about my F-chem 🤩😁

Hell has a special place for people who use heteronuclear NMR and don't mention their referencing substance in their ESI. #RealTimeChem #Literature #NMR

New year, new me. This time: BlueSky-version of me 🙂. Since Musk decided to destroy Twitter, I am looking forward to interact with the BlueSky community 😊.
