Our latest Al-Fe research is published in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Led by my student Roushan Chemistry at UIC and our collaboration with Dan Ess of BYU, we are starting to map the chemistry of Al(II) through this mild approach! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

Siad's work (Siad Wolff) on dimanganese(I), and Mn-N2 bonded compounds, which closely mirrors our prior Mg chemistry, has appeared as a preprint ChemRxiv. Part of a nice collab with project leader Christian Limberg tinyurl.com/2ds3es5p #ozchem Monash Chemistry Humboldt Berlin Chemistry

Check out our recent work by Etienne on the reduction of hexachlorophosphazene to low-valent PN hétérocycles, just published in Chemical Science! doi.org/10.1039/D4SC07…

Check out our Perspective on Al(II) chemistry in JACS Au led by Roushan. Thanks to the editors for inviting us to participate in their special issue on sustainable small molecule activation! doi.org/10.1021/jacsau…

The call is still open!l. Spread the word and apply!

LOW-VALENT Si, Ge, Sn, Pb: HOW LOW CAN WE GO??? Hydrocarbon-soluble Mg(0) reduces Si all the way to Si(4-). Unfortunately not stable and decomposing to the HSi(3-) anion. However, Sn(4-) is stable and functions as 4-fold Nu or 8e reducing agent. Preprint: shorturl.at/4mH0O
