I’m absolutely delighted that latest instalment of the methane complex story from my PhD has just been published in @J_A_C_S! #methane #NMR #ChemTwitter https://t.co/MatvmtkZ7l

[CCDC Cambridge @ccdc_cambridge]

The first combined solid and solution state analysis of a sigma alkane complex has been reported in @angew_chem by the @KrossingGroup.

CSD entry FUZZEJ contains the first sigma alkane complex to be crystallized from solution.

Why does n-Pentane coordinate towards the 16 VE fragment [Mn(CO)5]+. The answer is simple: it is the best ligand available in this system. Read about the necessary conditions here @KrossingGroup @Malte_Sellin @James_DWatson #AngewandteVIP #openaccess 🔓 https://t.co/NHknoh2AaW

@schmidtim @NguyenLabUNSW @J_A_C_S The sad reality is that I won’t even be the first Dr Watson in my own family…

@SineadKeaveney @Nick_solomon5 Amazing to see this finally in print!! Well done!

How many electrons does nitrogen (N2) need to be reduced to #ammonia (2 NH3)? No surprises here, it is still 6 e-.
A real surprise is that we @HoangLongDu @DRMacFarlane @ChemistryMonash can do this in a real experiment, for the first time on this planet: https://t.co/cDfoHZE8bu

@DuttonChemistry @JackKClegg @SigmaAldrich Maybe it’s just Australian researchers but by the time it reaches us in Aus it’s already fu**ed…

@DrBexJeans If I could like this reply twice I would!

[James Watson @James_DWatson]

@SmartMat2 @NatureChemistry Yes, looks like it! Thank you for letting me know, I’ll try and sort it with @NatureChemistry! My pedantry clearly isn’t up to scratch

[James Watson @James_DWatson]

Our paper “Binding methane to a metal centre” is now available in Nature Chemistry (link below). This is the first publication to come out of my PhD and hopefully there will be many more to come! #organometallics #NMR #methane ⁦@NatureChemistry⁩ https://t.co/MkqZljbqHx
