Exceptionally large “through-space” nuclear spin coupling in a 2,4,6-tri(phosphanyl)-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene
We describe the synthesis of a phosphanyl-functionalized 1,3,5-triphosphabenzene that exhibits remarkably large indirect spin-spin coupling (432 Hz) between phosphorus-31 nuclei. The magnitude of this...

I'm very excited to share that my first first-author paper is now online!!! Thanks Kay for the support and guidance!

Have a look at BCP-EBXs, combining ethynylbenziodoxolones and bicyclo[1.1.1] pentanes (BCPs) to open new chemical space around BCP bioisosteres!
This work of Najung, Jonas and Elija has just been accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social !

Catalytic methane functionalization and all it takes is... beryllium! We also compare the mechanisms of methane beryllation and borylation to reveal why Be finds it so easy @pubs.acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Methane Beryllation Catalyzed by a Base Metal Complex
The homogeneous catalytic functionalization of methane is extremely challenging due to the relative nonpolarity and high C–H bond strength of this hydrocarbon. Here, using catalytic quantities (10 mol...
