Over 2.5 years @reecelisterroberts.bsky.social has been working on isolating a range of 4-atom nitrogen chain radical anions! Now published in @natchem.nature.com! @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @manchester.ac.uk @ukri.org @erc.europa.eu www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Crystalline nitrogen chain radical anions - Nature Chemistry

The isolation of catenated nitrogen compounds is difficult, in part because these chains can readily lose nitrogen, creating a strong thermodynamic push towards decomposition. Now, a series of molecul...

Really pleased to see this work from my PhD in the Stasch group is (finally!) out in one of my favourite journals, @daltontrans.rsc.org! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Synthesis of heteroleptic calcium amide complexes via manipulation of the Schlenk equilibrium

Heteroleptic calcium β-diketiminate (BDI) complexes have been recognised as potent (pre)catalysts for a variety of transformations and have demonstrated valuable stoichiometric reactivity. Bulky ligan...

Excited to see this work published today in @jacs.acspublications.org , fun chemistry and a real group effort here by @clairemcmullin.bsky.social , @moraleschem.bsky.social , Mary and big Mike! (@bathchem.bsky.social) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Arene Activation by Calcium Hydride/Zinc Amide Equilibration

The β-diketiminato calcium hydride, [(BDI)CaH]2 (BDI = HC{(Me)CNDipp}2, where Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3), reacts with [Zn{N(SiMe3)2}2] and [Zn(TMP)2] (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide) to provide labile...

Happy to see the latest Hill/@clairemcmullin.bsky.social paper out in @chemistryeurope.bsky.social. We've found you can interconvert group 1 alumanyls by redox reactions with elemental alkali metals (no beryllium needed this time ;)). chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

An Alumanyl Test Case of Group 1 Redox Interchange

Rationalized by a thermochemical evaluation using both theoretical (DFT) and empirical data, we show that the arene-encapsulated M+ cations of the group 1 alumanyls, [{SiNDipp}AlM]2 ({SiNDipp} =  {CH...

Happy to share our recent paper in @chemcomm.rsc.org has been accepted! Development of unsymmetrical bis(anilido)xanthene ligands and their magnesium complexes are discussed 🧑‍🔬 doi.org/10.1039/D5CC...

Unsymmetrical Bis(anilido)xanthene Ligands: Development and Use in the Preparation of Magnesium Diamide Complexes

Unsymmetrical bis(anilido)xanthene ligands, decorated by a 2,4,6-tricyclohexylanilido substituent and a less bulky anilido group, are readily prepared in moderate yields from a 4,5-dibromo-substituted...
