Isolation of the parent triplet titanocene via NHC stabilisation
We present the synthesis and characterization of the parent isolable monomeric triplet titanocene complex, stabilized by the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) IMe4. Investigated by SQUID magnetometry and…

Thrilled to share our latest work from the lab, in collaboration with @townrowresearch.bsky.social , exploring the fusion of heteroleptic amido-substituted stannylenes and NHCs! #chemsky www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/2
Carbene-activated stannylenes to access selective C(sp3)–H bond scission at the steric limit - Nature Communications
The ubiquity of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in chemical research typically arises from their potent stabilizing capabilities and role as innocent spectators to stabilize otherwise non-bottleable co...

Excited to share our debut paper of 2025! Just published in Inorganic Chemistry, this work, in fantastic collaboration with the Beckmann group, explores our foray into boron chemistry, highlighting the isolation and reactivity of a BO ketone analogue.

Structural Snapshots on Stepwise Anionic Oxoborane Formation: Access to an Acyclic BO Ketone Analogue and Its Metathesis Chemistry with CO2 and CS2
In this work, we disclose the synthesis and characterization of non-acid/base-stabilized anionic oxoboranes [MesTer2BO][K(L)] (MesTer = –C6H3-2,6-(2,4,6-Me3-C6H2)2, L = [2.2.2]-cryptand or 18-crown-6)...
