ICYMI, from Marc-Etienne Moret | @memoret.bsky.social and first author María L. G. Sansores Paredes at Institute for Sustainable & Circular Chemistry 'Carbene transfer reactivity from a nickelacyclobutane' #OpenAccess 🔓 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

New collaborative papers in JACS! #1 Two collaborative studies on p-block chemistry featuring work from the group have just been published in John Callahan. The first features JT’s work on inorganic cumulenes with Chenyang from Goicoechea Group… doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4… Oxford Chemistry

Another old #ChemEd #Chemistry summary. This covers resonance. The 1st summary that led to interesting discussion (i.e. not everyone agrees). Sorry for the poor resolution, I will update it at some point but have been writing new summaries instead; not sure what's more important?

What happens when you oxidize a metallacyclobutane? The last #openaccess chapter of María L. G. Sansores Paredes 's nickelacyclobutane saga has just been accepted in ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal. Work done at Institute for Sustainable & Circular Chemistry and funded by European Research Council (ERC). Check it out! doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

Check out our last work on the reactivity of a pentacoordinated nickelacyclobutane! #metallacyclobutane #organometallics #nickel

The latest paper of María L. G. Sansores Paredes with Martin Lutz is now available online in its fully typeset form in ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal : doi.org/10.1002/chem.2… We thank European Research Council (ERC) for funding this work, which was performed at Institute for Sustainable & Circular Chemistry Department of Chemistry (Utrecht University) 📷 1/3

This concludes (for now) our study of the reactivity of a pincer nickelacyclobutane. First, it was shown to react along the lines of cyclopropanation (reductive elimination) or olefin metathesis ([2+2] cycloreversion) when exposed to neutral ligands: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… 2/3

Then, an unusual carbene transfer reaction to an isocyanide ligand was uncovered: doi.org/10.1039/D4CC04… 3/3
