Great to see this exciting paper out from the group in Science. The first isolable main group metal carbonyl!

[Maximilian Dietz @maxxdietz]

I am happy to share that our latest paper has been published in @ScienceMagazine. In this work, we report the synthesis of novel tin carbonyl and carbene complexes. Thanks to all collaborators!

@liampgriffin and I have reviewed recent advances in the heterometallic bonding chemistry of the alkaline earth metals @DaltonTrans. It was fun to put this together, and we hope it's useful!

Really excited to see the first publication of my PhD out now in @angew_chem!

Great to be a part of this paper with @maxxdietz and @JosefBoronski investigating some exciting tin chemistry.

[Josef Boronski @JosefBoronski]

Breaking bonds at tin(II)! We've had a look at the spectrum of bond addition reactions, from reductive (Be-Be) to oxidative (Cl-Cl), and everything in between (B-B, B-H, H-H) @angew_chem @GroupAldridge @maxxdietz @A_Swarbrook

Catalytic methane functionalization and all it takes is... beryllium! We also compare the mechanisms of methane beryllation and borylation to reveal why Be finds it so easy @J_A_C_S @GroupAldridge

A memorable send off for @JosefBoronski All the best for your next chemistry endeavours!

[Josef Boronski @JosefBoronski]

A great evening with friends! Thank you to everyone for all of their support and for making my time in Oxford so memorable. Special thanks to Simon and @GroupAldridge!

[Amelia Swarbrook @A_Swarbrook]

Very cool chemistry from @JosefBoronski! Great to see it out in JACS 🧪
