After some time, Annika's work on the first open-shell metallo-tetrylene is out 🥳 And it got the @chemicalscience.rsc.org
#PickoftheWeek stamp of approval, congrats Anni!🎖️

Great collab with Max Holthausen, (Frankfurt) 🖥️

Best thing here is the mechanism, so check it out:

Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex - pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
So proud to congratulate first author Leon Gomm for his first paper in JACS. Thanks to Hui Zhu and Stefan Grimme for the ever helpful DFT calculations. @unibonn.bsky.social
Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex
A nickel-silylene complex is shown to reversibly activate benzene via C–H bond activation at ambient temperature. The benzene C–H bond formally adds across the Ni–Si core to form a nickel-silyl comple...

A great afternoon celebrating the 90th birthday of a true chemistry legend, Hubert Schmidbaur @tum.de

Still finding numerous paper-trails which lead back to his group's work 🧪 and wild that we still get to chat about chemistry!

Now out as a preprint!
We demonstrate how we can use our biradicaloid ligand to stabilise a series of main-group cations and their application to prepare pi-complexes of diatomic [EX]+ cations, including [GeF]+ and [SnF]+ :)

π-Complexes of Main-group Metal cations: Exploration of Lewis acid reactivity
A series of cationic nido-clusters [E(η4-IDP)]+/2+ was prepared from the imidazolium-substituted diphosphate-diide (IPr)2C2P2 (IDP), including [1]+ (E = Ga) and [2b,c]2+ (E = Sn, Pb). As analogues of ...

Hello Blue-Skied world!

As an opener, the easiest is probably to pop on over and take a look at our website, where there's a brief description of what we're doing here at TU Munich, and what we're moving towards in the future. Go check it out!
