Arynes meet aldehydes in an alternating copolymerization!
Our latest work is now out in @J_A_C_S, demonstrating a new chain-growth route to poly(o-arylene)-based polymers.
Congratulations to everyone involved!

Our new paper is out in Nat. Commun.! 🎉
“Skeletal transformation to chiral nanocarbon molecules”
Skeletal transformation solves two challenges in chiral-nanocarbon synthesis.
A remarkable achievement made possible by Jun’s enormous effort. 👏

Made in situ for decades, their structures have never been pinned down🎃
We now report the solid-state structures of ether-coordinated carboranyl-Li complexes, revealing that the #carborane cage itself binds Li⁺.
Huge congrats to key players, Yusuke and Seita🌟 @Boron_Chemistry
Another piece of gallylene chemistry from Nijito and Sota: C–C bond activation and chalcogen atom insertion into a Ga–C bond. Now published in ACS Org. Inorg. Au as part of the special issue "2026 Rising Stars in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry."

From photoexcited Ga(III) to Ga(I).
Unexpectedly, Ga(I) reacts via photoinduced disproportionation, enabling the first oxidative addition of aryl iodides at a Group 13 center.
Our latest work is now out in @J_A_C_S!
Huge credit to Nijito and Sota!

Our new paper has been published in Nature Communications! In it, we reveal how the weak intramolecular interaction of the monomer has a huge impact on the stereoselective polymerization.

It’s a great achievement by Hiroshi. Congratulations!
Our paper on Ni-pentalene complexes, which we previously posted on ChemRxiv, has now been published in JACS.
Congratulations to Riina, Takefumi, and everyone involved in the project!
