FINALLY a complex of type LMg-CaL! This formally Mg(0)-Ca(II) complex shows a very long Mg-Ca bond with Mg(-)/Ca(+) polarization and is quite reactive! Our first 2026 paper is "In dear memory of Herbert Roesky" https://t.co/epFVfTQwRd
TIRE CHANGE: First Mg(I) complex with a Cp* ligand enables facile ligand exchange. Reaction with RONa gives (BDI)Mg-MgOR and Cp*Na. This paves the way for syntheses of many new asymmetric Mg(I) complexes. @angew_chem https://t.co/BXyZlqfcJt
REDOX-REACTIVITY of Yb and Sm inverse sandwich benzene complexes. An interesting observation is that, depending on substrate, benzene(4-) can reduce Sm(III) to Sm(II). https://t.co/Hzy6EK1MMQ
P4 REDUCTION generally results in multi-nuclear Zintl anions: P8(2-), P4(2-) or P7(3-). Reaction with a soluble Mg(0) complex gave full reduction to P(3-). Latter anion serves as a triple base, a three-fold nucleophile or 3e-reducing agent. https://t.co/EqSENTfEmd
A LOT OF MONEY FOR CHEAP METALS: Happy that our group has been awarded an ERC-ADVANCED GRANT extending our unique chemistry on main group M(0) chemistry. We thank the many reviewers that trust us continuing COOL (OR HOT?) CHEMISTRY. We won’t disappoint you! @FAU #ERCAdG
I am extremely happy to share my second project published in @J_A_C_S . Check out our paper to see bonding between two electropositive metals. Huge thanks to Prof Sjoerd Harder for support @harder_research computational partners @NilRoigVidal Prof Mercedes.https://t.co/p30AMwAKRi
