Alessandro Bismuto, University of Bonn, and colleagues have synthesized and characterized three- and four-membered heterocyclic rings containing Sb₂- or Bi₂-units, obtained from heavy dipnictenes (Sb=Sb, Bi=Bi) and different azides chemistryviews.org/synthesis-and-…

Thrilled to share a first publication of the group! We report on cadmium aluminyls that find application as Cd-nucleophiles and(!) Al(I)-Transfer reagents. Now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! Thanks to VCI for the generous funding of our research. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

P4 REDUCTION generally results in multi-nuclear Zintl anions: P8(2-), P4(2-) or P7(3-). Reaction with a soluble Mg(0) complex gave full reduction to P(3-). Latter anion serves as a triple base, a three-fold nucleophile or 3e-reducing agent. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

THIS CHALLENGING SYNTHESIS completes the (BDI)Ae-(benzene)-Ae(BDI) series (Ae = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) with Ba. We show trends in stability, structure, bonding and recativity. Reacting like (BDI)Ba-Ba(BDI) this is a first Ba(I) synthon. shorturl.at/ZdToA Chemical Science
