Can amides deprotonate benzene? Can they deprotonate any other arene? Check out how a sodium amide can do this and allow the catalytic deuteration of aromatic molecules! This is my poster for this year's #RSCPoster #RSCOrg #RSCInorg Work done at @DCBPunibern in @EvaHeviaGroup

I am so happy to see my latest work in the @EvaHeviaGroup published in @J_A_C_S ! Check out how a simple amide, NaTMP, can promote the deuteration of arenes! It has been much fun working on this project in UniBern @DCBPunibern

Last week we got the news that our Spark project has been funded by the @snsf_ch 😃🥳 I am looking therefore for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work with me to develop new biorenewable fuels, using organometallic chemistry and designing new catalysts! #NewPI #chempostdoc

Today we got some beautiful crystals of C6D6! We are ready for the next months of NMR with organometallic compounds! 🧪@Fizzyfrost

Very happy to receive the award for young researchers - postdoc from the @RSEQUIMICA! Very gratefull for the continued support and mentoring of @rmartinICIQ and @EvaHeviaGroup , without them this would not have been possible. Looking forward to @JovenesQuimicos meeting!

I am presenting today a catalytic deuteration of arenes with sodium amides, my latest work at the University of Bern. We found a system able to deprotonate benzene, which allows the transfer of deuterium to different arenes #SWTwitterSymposium

For me this is the coolest structure I got so far! 😍 A big shout out here to @Lorraine_AM for being an essential part of every of our X-Ray measurements!! We could not get all this work done without her.

Amazing work by @antorna showcasing how simple sodium amides and donors can deuterate arenes! The structure of PhNa/NaTMP is super cool too!😍
