The first paper from the group is out as a 🔥hot paper in @angew_chem:
Anthracene Bisurea as a Supramolecular Chloride Receptor for Additive-Free, Broad-Scope Gold(I) Catalysis
Great work by Riccardo, with X-ray magics from Toby!

- I am over the moon to announce that I will start as an Assistant Professor at @DurhamChemistry in September. A huge thank you to my advisors @dixon_group, @Echavarren_Lab and @Morandilab, and to Durham for having me! A PhD advert (all nationalities) will follow soon.
- My group website at Durham Chemistry is finally online! Feel free to take a look and get in touch. franchinolab.com
- A 3-year postdoctoral position in homogeneous catalysis and synthetic organic chemistry, to start in February 2025 or later, is available in my group @DurhamChemistry! Candidates of any nationality can apply by Sunday 20/10/24. Info and how to apply: durham.taleo.net/careersection/…
GIF - A 3-yrs PhD studentship in catalysis and synthetic organic chemistry, to start in October 2022 or later, is available in my group @DurhamChemistry! 🇬🇧,🇪🇺and🗺️candidates are all welcome to apply by Sunday 10/07/2022. For more details, DM me or visit:
- So happy to secure 1.4M£ for the project ChloroCat - Unlocking metal-chloride bonds for data-driven stereoselective catalysis! A big shoutout to my project partner Dr Jolene Reid at UBC, and to amazing colleagues at DurhamChemistry and beyond for help during the application!A huge well done to @HappyFranchino who has been awarded £1.4m funding through the @UKRI_News Future Leaders Fellowships scheme. Find out more 👉 durham.ac.uk/news-events/la… @DurhamChemistry
- I'm truly excited to be awarded a MSCA global fellowship to leverage the synergies between iron and asymmetric organocatalysis!!! Thanks to my hosts labs 🇨🇭🇩🇪 @morandilab @ListLaboratory @MSCActions
- 👀Looking for new group members! Home students only 🇬🇧: two fully-funded PhD and MRes positions in Durham. Think H-bond donors, phosphine ligands and transition metal catalysis! Applications received via email will be reviewed on a rolling basis - what are you waiting for? ⏰👩🔬👨🔬
- Come join us at @DurhamChemistry! We are looking for an Assistant Professor in Organic Chemistry/Chemical Biology. Deadline on 11/12/2023: durham.taleo.net/careersection/… Feel free to contact me for more info - it is a great place to start/move your group.
- Our latest results on H-bonded counterion-directed asymmetric catalysis are out in @EurJOC ! Cool experiments (including HTE) by @Alex_Marti_Z and @MarcMonM at @Echavarren_Lab @ICIQchem doi.org/10.1002/ejoc.2…
- What an exciting day: this paper with Julia, Ori and Patrick from my time in @morandilab out on my very first day at @DurhamChemistry as #newPI!Congrats again to Julia Reisenbauer, @origree1, @HappyFranchino and @PDFinkelstein! Previously on @ChemRxiv, now final version out @ScienceMagazine.
- For my 1st tweet, I spotlight new research from my PhD group @dixon_group with #compchem by @TrevorAHamlin. Cool work on bifunctional iminophosphorane superbase catalysis. The BIMP family (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…) grows even more now incorporating squaramide H-bond donors! 👶
- Cover is out for our article on H-bonded counterion-directed catalysis! Kudos to @Alex_Marti_Z for the cool design idea - inviting you to check out the paper 😉📰#OnTheCover H-Bonded Counterion-Directed Catalysis: Enantioselective Gold(I)-Catalyzed Addition to 2-Alkynyl Enones as a Case Study by @HappyFranchino @Echavarren_Lab (@ICIQchem @universitatURV) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…
- 🇨🇿🇸🇰Are you a Czech or Slovak PhD graduate looking for a postdoc stay abroad? I have projects available in organic synthesis and catalysis to host you in Durham 🇬🇧! Please email me your CV by March 10th if you are interested in this opportunity. More info: experientia.cz/en/research-st…
