Our nitrene paper was accepted for publication by Science and has gone online as First Release. What a tremendous milestone for the Beckmann group. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Huge congratulations (again)!🥳

Our work, which shows the first P-center that can activate the H-H bond through an oxidative addition type reaction and be used for catalytic hydrogenation—unprecedented for single main group centers—is now published in Nature Chemistry. doi.org/10.1038/s41557…

New pre-print from the team is just online: Till developed a facile route to a geometrically constrained Ga(I)-Ni(0) complex: reversible activation of H2 and can even alkyne semi-hydrogenation catal 👨‍🔬 amazing work, including full kinetics! Check it: tinyurl.com/y5rmyvez
