Actually, no co-workers on this single author paper

Magnesium induced CO homologation to give value-added products is all the rage right now. @chem_kong and co-workers have just made it catalytic! Nice work https://t.co/6Uig1U0EJS #ozchem

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

Interesting computational take on our long term exptal study on the di-, tri-, tetra- and hexamerisation of CO using Mg(I) compoundshas appeared @ChemRxiv . Another experimental contribution on this should be out soon. #ozchem https://t.co/beyCuENiHV

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

Joe (@josephmparr) and co's work on using the normally inert NMR standard, TMS, as a ligand towards very Lewis acidic, neutral Ca and Sr complexes, has appeared as a pre-print @ChemRxiv. https://t.co/7UHXrx5EHW.
See the Mg analogue here https://t.co/zw3ygkbAWb. #ozchem @AFOSR

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

Our recent paper @ChemicalScience has been selected as a HOT article by the editors 🔥. Nice recognition of all the work put into it by those involved. #Chem_In_Aust

Kraken the Mg(0) code: Yixiao, Maryam and Sophie's ink-credible paper on a TCHP substituted analogue of Harders's heavily-armed Mg(0) cmpd, high yields of Mg(0)/Mg(I) clusters, and their redn of TM carbonyls, has been accepted @ChemicalScience.

Many congrats to Jeremy, who has passed his PhD with flying colours. On to bigger and better things. Some of Jeremy's outstanding recent work can be found here: https://t.co/zw3ygkbAWb #ozchem @ChemistryMonash

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

We have a fully funded PhD position open in low oxidn state group 2 chem, and its appln to sustainable organic synthesis. Details available at https://t.co/0YwbG23G4A. Please consider the candidate criteria before applying. Re-posts greatly appreciated. #ozchem @Monash_Science

[Crimmin Group @crimmingroup]

Our review article setting out strategies for the chemical recycling of fluorocarbons - including refrigerants, fluoropolymers, and PFAS - is now out in @NatRevChem congrats to @shannon_esf1 and thanks to our fantastic editorial team @stephgreed. https://t.co/TBEyhX3Ldb

[Dr Anker @DrAnkerLab]

First paper for Joe in his PhD! Reviewing our research area. Great work Joe.
Synthesis and reactivity of lanthanide(II) hydrides https://t.co/n1pWfrO0LZ

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

Yep. Both aryls are pretty special. Couldn’t help myself with the ToC 😇 The Kraken fights on!

[Harder-Research @harder_research]

Great to see that TCHP can also do the trick👍 and .... that the octopus manages to grab that spear and the divers leg. More to follow very soon from the octopus!

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

Yixiao, Maryam and Sophie's preprint on work extending Harder's Mg(0) cmpd to new, stable Mg(0) and Mg(0)/Mg(I) examples, and their reduction of TM carbonyls, is out @ChemRxiv. TCHP is a great, easy to prepare, stabilizing aryl. #ozchem @ChemistryMonash https://t.co/tqEyMOF6f5

MOLECULAR ZINTL PHASES with tetra-anionic Si, Ge, Sn, Pb accessible using soluble Mg(0). Although all E(4-) anions are full valence-shell octets, they are highly reactive. The Sn(-IV) complex is an 8e-reductant @FAU https://t.co/n8PbQnCxnL @NatureSynthesis

@TGuerrero77 @EvansInorganic @LLL_lab_SUSTech @Nature @Chem_CP @ChemistryMonash @SebVidalChem Indeed, a bit of poetic license to illustrate how they assemble, selectively, as building blocks.

[Jones Research Group @Jones_Research]

Matt (@EvansInorganic) and my highlight of @LLL_lab_SUSTech's landmark @Nature paper, from last week, on efficient Al(I)/Al(III) redox catalysis has appeared in @Chem_CP. TMs, your days are numbered! Free access here: https://t.co/VW6vd7NukZ #ozchem @ChemistryMonash
