Some new pre-prints from the group this week. The first, from Wenbang Yang on the Deoxygenative Coupling of CO with a Tetrametallic Magnesium Hydride Complex. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

The second, from Danny Sheldon on the defluorination of HFCs, including an extremely rare example of a 1,2-defluorination of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane aka HFC-134a (the biggest use HFC). chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

.Joseph Parr's review covering Carbon–Carbon Bond Activation by Mg, Al, and Zn Complexes is now online with Chemical Science here is the link: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Lastly, Jacob McMullen has been looking at the Desulfurisation of Thiophenes with an Aluminium(I) Reagent. The study includes an example of double ring-expansion. Now posted on ChemRxiv and available here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

My friend has just released the second book in his Lost Sect fantasy series! Cannot recommend you read the it/them strongly enough! FFO: power struggles beyond individual myopic understanding and weapons made out of shadows!

Interested in recycling fluoroalkanes ? Shannon, Feriel, Dan and Andreas Phanopoulos report an efficient approach to HF shuttling in Angewandte Chemie. The method can be applied to poly(vinylidene difluoride) - a widely used fluorinated polymer. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Danny Sheldon's and Joseph Parr's on defluorination of tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) is now out in DaltonTransactions. Here is the link: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

New ChemRxiv from Marina Perez-Jimenez and Roessler Research Group is now out. It describes the isolation, characterisation, and electronic structure of a Paramagnetic Nickel-Zinc Hydride Complex, along with hints that such species may be relevant in catalysis. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

New publication in Chemical Communications is now online🤩🤩🥳🥳 As part of the SFB1349 we report a range of degradable fluorinated polyesters where it is possible to recover the fluorine. Congrats to all involved !! Give it a read here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Gina Rai has a new ChemRxiv preprint out using automation, kinetics and DFT calculations to gain a detailed understanding of the mechanism of Pd-catalysed formylation of aryl bromides. Here is the link: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Imogen’s work investigating a transient Al(I) species is now available online as an accepted article in Chemical Communications - supported by Mickey and some serendipitous crystal growing by Juliana. Congratulations Imogen S 💥 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
