Our chemistry from the recent print issue of @J_A_C_S: six-electron activation of dinitrogen enabled by a uranium bis(anilido)xanthene complex. Was enjoyable to explore this unusual reactivity together with @YPYuePang! @EPFL_CHEM_Tweet

An ABSOLUTELY spectacular structure by the Xia group at SUSTECH. Haiping & his team have been working on enveloping the metal with a fully conjugated carbon ring & they finally succeeded! This warms my reformed metallabenzene chemist's heart!

Our latest Al-Fe research is published in @J_A_C_S. Led by my student Roushan @ChemistryatUIC and our collaboration with Dan Ess of BYU, we are starting to map the chemistry of Al(II) through this mild approach!

Reported by @MingxuCui and co-workers, an air-stable Re(v) catalyst for alkyne metathesis reaction.

The complex is active at room temperature and compatible with a range of functional groups.
