A year ago, amid the pandemic, we proposed that @RoySocChem should compile a collection of Latin American contributions to chemistry. The collection was well received; 24 journals and 16 editors participated in the selection/1

Our new article is now published in @ACSEarthSpace. We explored the C2H6S2 landscape and characterized its spectroscopic properties to support future experimental identification.

En una revisión publicada en Nature Reviews Chemistry, F. Matthias Bickelhaupt, Miquel Solà y Gabriel Merino analizan dos siglos de historia de esta propiedad. nature.com/articles/s41570-0…
In our new @NatRevChem review, @fmbickelhaupt, @miquelsola, and I revisit the concept 200 years after benzene’s discovery (from carbon rings to metal clusters and excited states). How do we know when “aromatic” fits? The evidence matters.

What happens when B5+ meets methane? In our @angew_chem article, experiments and calculations show that the reaction forms CB5H2+, including an isomer with a planar tetracoordinate carbon. It was a pleasure to work on this with Qiang Chen’s group in 🇨🇳.

¡2026: Bicentenario México-Francia! 🇲🇽🇫🇷 TV5Monde destacó a Yucatán en su programa La Francophonie del Mundo.
Resaltan la labor de la Alianza Francesa y 25 años de alianza entre @Cinvestav Mérida y Univ. de las Antillas, impulsados por la Dra. Dalila Aldana en ciencia marina.

I’m very pleased to share our new paper in @angew_chem. We integrate substituent effects into the classical Wade–Mingos rules for dicarboranes.
Analysis of 74,613 C2B4R6 clusters reveals that substituents (not only electron pairs) govern stability.

Our latest study explores the PES of the dianion B10H14(2-), revealing a more stable B10H10(2-)⋯2H2 complex, 21.5 kcal/mol lower in energy than the known arachno structure.
Kudos to @gerardo0339 @murillofmc @FOrtizChi @jbarrozom and Alejandro Vásquez

Zeise's salt, the first organometallic compound synthesized (1825), is σ-aromatic.
This study is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Ankur @AnkurKGuha, Marieta @mafernan9, and Mesias @MesiasOrozco, and has just been published in @InorgChem

So happy to share that my master’s research has been published! Big thanks to the team who made this journey such a rewarding one.🎉
Excited to share our new publication in Organic Chemistry Frontiers!
Together with @capvalr, Miguel Angel Vazquez, @APoater, and @OscarHalla, we explored the reactivity of 1,2,5-azadiborolidine derivatives toward CO.
