We have a new @ChemRxiv preprint out describing the first silicon containing spiropentane and its rearrangement to a cyclobutane. https://t.co/7XT5t7OxPB. Congrats to @yangwenbang0310 and @benedekstdlr
The last chapter of my thesis is now published in @ChemCommun! We explored how our heterometallic Fe-Al complexes allow for the facile generation of σ-silane adducts without requiring strong acids or weakly coordinating anions. Link: https://t.co/GRiVxOJ4Pk
.@benedekstdlr's latest paper using metal-metal cooperation to access silane complexes is now out in @ChemComm here is the link https://t.co/xYrePsPtRs.
.@benedekstdlr has a @chemrxiv preprint out on a new synthetic strategy to access sigma-silane complexes through heterometallic cooperation. Here is the link: https://t.co/mcsHs9jRaD
A heterometallic Ni–Al complex breaks C–H bonds in pyridines with ligand-controlled precision
🧪Research Highlight from @angew_chem
https://t.co/8M5dXfcIYF
New @ChemRxiv preprint out today from Joey Zurakowski and @benedekstdlr in collaboration with @marcuswdrover. They discovered an exciting new Ni---Al heterometallic complex and studied in detail a new phosphine-catalysed C–H activation mechanism. https://t.co/KjduMmkPaZ
Wenbang's @yangwenbang0310 work using group 13 fluoride complexes as catalysts for thiodefluorination and hydrodefluorination of electron-deficient arenes is now out in @InorgChem Here is a link: https://t.co/FLHiuii3G1
We have an open 3rd year Research Associate position in the group to work on heterometallic complexes for C–H activation. Come join us and have fun playing with metals. Deadline to apply is 3rd of April. More details here. https://t.co/yUU2DFh5sO
Catalytic methane functionalization and all it takes is... beryllium! We also compare the mechanisms of methane beryllation and borylation to reveal why Be finds it so easy @J_A_C_S@GroupAldridge

Potential PhD funding (part of an internal competition) in the group to look at designing new heteromultimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction: https://t.co/lY9c5T73KA
If you’re into the interface between computation and organometallic chemistry please apply!
For our final highlight of 3d TM research in the UK this week we continue to highlight early career researchers with @Mark_Chadders at Imperial. Lots of fun Ti chemistry - cannot wait to see want they discover next.

.@benedekstdlr@NGorgas and @StuartJElliott1's work understanding and exploiting a dyotropic rearrangement of an Fe–Al bimetallic complex is now out in @angew_chem here is the link https://t.co/LcslW3w94F
PhD advert 📢
We have some last minute PhD funding available to start in October 2024 to work in main group chemistry and catalysis. Please share with anyone who might be interested and contact me directly (unfortunately UK funding only)
