From @maxdietz.bsky.social and Simon Aldridge’s group, an example of a main-group tin-carbonyl complex (@science.org). Above 0 degrees Celsius, this CO complex rearranges to form a tin carbene complex. 🔗 CSD Entry ELAMIR: dx.doi.org/10.5517/ccdc... #FeaturedStructureFriday #CompChemSky

In @science.org this week from Simon Aldridge's group, CO is a sneaky thief: binds unexpectedly to tin at low temp, then steals both its ligands to make a carbene 🧪 chemsky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am happy to share that our latest paper has been published in @science.org. In this work, we report the synthesis of novel tin carbonyl and carbene complexes. Thanks to all collaborators! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @humboldt-foundation.de @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

A main-group metal carbonyl complex: Structure and isomerization to a carbene-stabilized tin atom

In contrast to transition elements, s- and p-block metal compounds that coordinate carbon monoxide (CO) under near-ambient conditions are elusive. Here, we report an isolable, crystalline main-group m...

CAAC-stabilised 9,10-diboraanthracene: an electronically and structurally flexible platform for small-molecule activation and metal complexation

A biradical cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene-stabilised 9,10-diboraanthracene (DBA) activates small molecules such as hydrogen, phenyl azide or TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl) across its two bor...

Exited to share that the first paper of my postdoc in the Aldridge Group is finally out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! In this work, we studied addition processes of different E-E bonds at tin(II) and got some really unique compounds! @josefboronski.bsky.social @amelia-swarbrook.bsky.social

Josef Boronski@josefboronski.bsky.social · last yr.

Breaking bonds at tin(II)! We've had a look at the spectrum of bond addition reactions, from reductive (Be-Be) to oxidative (Cl-Cl), and everything in between (B-B, B-H, H-H) @angewandtechemie.bsky.social @maxdietz.bsky.social @amelia-swarbrook.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Great to see the work of my friend and former colleague Maximilian Michel finally being published in @naturesynthesis.bsky.social!
