Our first foray into hydroformylation out now ASAP in ACS Catalysis. A highlight from Dr Jennifer Smart 👩🏼‍🔬's PhD using a ligand first developed by Jack Emerson-King. Made possible by collaboration with Rebekah Jeans Ulrich Hintermair and Paul Pringle. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Copper(I) Catalysed Diboron(4) Reduction of Nitrous Oxide. First paper from Thomas Hood’s postdoc available now in final form and open access Angewandte Chemie. Devised over a beer with David Liptrot at Dalton2023. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Mercedes Alonso of ALGC and VUB presents an invited talk CBOND2024 on “The role of electrostatics in metal carbonyl bonding.” #CBOND2024

.Nil Roig Vidal's first first author paper, highlighting the important role of electrostatics in metal carbonyl bonding, is out now ASAP in Organometallics. Time to update the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model! A fun collaboration with Mercedes Alonso ALGC doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…

Our work has been in the top 5 most read Organometallics papers published within the last month! Don't miss it ⚡️ Adrian Chaplin ALGC

Check out our last work with Pd nitrosyls and pincer ligands! Cool complexes deserve cool calculations, and here is the proof 🖥🚀 …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

Effect of size, charge, and spin state on Hückel and Baird aromaticity in [N]annulenes - now published in Chemical Science by Louis Van Nyvel, Mercedes Alonso & Miquel Solà #OpenAccess IQCC UdG VUB pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

OXIDATION STATE CONFUSION: Al(I)-Sn(II)? Al(II)-Sn(I)? Al(III)-Sn(0)? The crooked structure of this complex can be explained by an Al-donor Sn-acceptor bond. Details can be found here bsky.app/profile/harder…

Wanna see a first s-block metal-lanthanide bond? We just reported Mg-Yb bonding John Callahan 👍Sandeep Kumar Thakur Big thank you to cooperation partners Mercedes Alonso & Nil Roig Vidal Details at blue sky: bsky.app/profile/harder…

This guy is finally out!! Glad to collaborate with Harder-Research and Sandeep Kumar Thakur, and help them describe the first s-Block-Lanthanide bond! Awesome chemistry that you can now check out here in J. Am. Chem. Soc. ALGC 🚀🚀 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
