Synthesis and Characterization of Hypercoordinated Silicon Anions: Catching Intermediates of Lewis Base Catalysis (Greb) @GrebGroup #openaccess thanks to #projektDEAL onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

The well-received "Best-Practice DFT" article on basic #compchem written by Markus Bursch, Andreas, Stefan @GrimmeLab, and myself finally made it into Angewandte Chemie. I had almost forgotten the nice TOC graphic Markus made. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Silicon Catalyzed C-O Bond Ring Closing Metathesis of Polyethers (Greb) @GrebGroup #openaccess thanks to #projektDEAL onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Can a computer predict the site of borylation better than an expert can? Our new model predicted the major product correctly 100% of the time on pharmaceutical intermediates with better accuracy than any experts we compared to. Check it out on ChemRxiv! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Brilliant talk by @GrebGroup at #ICMGSC2023 on measuring Lewis acidity.

What happens, when #palladium teams up with a Si(IV) Lewis acid? Read about unusual (anionic) square planar Pd(0), now out in Angewandte Chemie. Big thanks to the people involved; Josh, Dr. Marcel Schorpp and @GrebGroup! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
