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

Our manuscript on an NHC-Stabilized Diazoborane is now online Science Magazine! Chonghe (@chonghe10) reports the synthesis and reactivity of the first isolable boron-terminal N2 species. Cummins Lab Gilliard Group MIT Chemistry #boron #maingroup science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Finally it’s official: Our manuscript on a new reagent for C-atom transfer is out Science Magazine! Diazo transfer from N2O gives access to Ph3PCN2 a versatile reagent.

"Why are some pincer pnictogen complexes planar & others pyramidal?" Led by @THannah77, @taminazk, Dalhousie Chemistry We propose a model with 2 opposing effects to rationalize seemingly random outcomes. Written for both existing nerds & nerds-to-be (students)! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Very excited to share our recent paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc., from the Thesis of @philkeil1 🍾 We demonstrate predictable energetic tuning of cooperative H2 activation through ligand design, with amazing kinetic studies from PK, and DFT from Tibor Szilvási 🙌 tinyurl.com/2rjfwkuk

The Marriage of Silicon and Phosphorus! Martin’s paper on the isolation of an NHC-supported heavier nitrile and its conversion to an isonitrile analogue is now out in Nature Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

Proud to share the next contribution from our collaboration with the Fischer group Malte Fischer!

Martin’s recent paper on the activation of ammonia by the NHCP-silylene has been accepted in Chem Commum Chemical Communications! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Highly recommended! Olie will be a fantastic mentor!

**Postdoc in Organic Chemistry** Thanks to funding from the Boehringer Ingelheim Ingelheim Stiftung, we are able to offer a postdoc position in our group from early next year (some flexibility is possible). The project involves the synthesis of multisubstituted bicyclohexane compounds.
