What a summer!
KU Leuven’s Summer of Science 2025 welcomed international high school students to CatalyQuest, led by LBC group members Bozidar Radusin, Maxim Lox, and Alisa Ranscht, with colleagues from Bioengineering & Chemistry @DeFeyterGroup and De Vos Group.
From hands-on experiments to molecular & industrial catalysis, including ammonia synthesis & enzymes, we explored it all!

We are proud to present our latest development! Our recent publication in @angew_chem demonstrates the potential of a #DiscreteHybrid #Vanadium #OxoCluster to selectively induce #oxidative modifications in proteins under physiological conditions.

Happy 45² !
2025 = 45² is a "perfect square year".
It is represented by the square of the sum of all the digits in the decimal number system.
(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)² = 2025.
It also represents the sum of the cubes of all the digits in the decimal number system.
(0³ 1³ 2³ 3³ 4³ 5³ 6³ 7³ 8³ 9³) = 2025.
The last "perfect square year" occurred in 1936 and after 2025 only in 2116.
Happy and Healthy 45² to everyone!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Proud moment for LBC: Yujie Zhang’s final PhD chapter is now published in @InorgChem, @AmerChemSociety! 🥳
Our research suggests that Zr oxo clusters swiftly form and ay act as the active species in Zr-catalyzed #AmideBondFormations.
