Aluminum: lightest p-block metal with very low electronegativity. Converting Al(III) to Al(I) in stoichiometric reactions is rare. But now, we've made Al redox catalysis a reality! Check it out @nature

Since my days as a graduate student, I have been interested in using carboranes as substituents on heteroatoms to tune electronics, similar to classical alkyl and aryl groups.

Over the years, our group and others have demonstrated that C-bound carboranes are actually strongly electron withdrawing, comparable to classical perfluoroarenes.

In our latest preprint (https://t.co/sRn2soPCm1), Vicki Rubio shows that this concept extends to the heavy pnictogens, revealing that carborane substitution allows for the construction of highly Lewis acidic Sb(V) centers. A special shout out goes to all coauthors and especially Osvaldo Gutierrez and his team for their contributions to the theoretical and computational aspects of this work.

#Teaching isn’t a performance — it’s a #conversation. Read in the @UCRiverside #magazine about how #researchers like Stephanie Dingwall are turning complex #science into something personal, hands-on and accessible.

@J_A_C_S Congrats to Lan, Matt, Grace, Ashley, and Lamia! Want to highlight here that Grace, an undergrad @UCRiverside, did the heavy lifting on revisions while Lan was on internship. Grace is applying for grad school this year and any program would be lucky to have her!
