We have a @chemrxiv.org preprint out from @benedekstdlr.bsky.social on a new synthetic strategy to access sigma-silane complexes through heterometallic cooperation. Here is the link: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

New preprint from @upwinder.bsky.social on the synthesis of a novel alumaborane containing an AlH-BH functional group along with some chemoselective reactivity. Here's the link. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Our final @chemrxiv.bsky.social preprint of the week comes from @upwinder.bsky.social who investigated reactions of CO and an isocyanide with complexes containing Al–Mg bonds. The highlight is this interesting new coupling product. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Interested in learning more about sustainable approaches in fluorine chemistry? @shannonesf.bsky.social has a new @chemrxiv.bsky.social out summarising synthetic and catalytic approaches that could underpin a future circular economy for fluorocarbons. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Exciting new @chemrxiv.bsky.social preprint from @pentaleniko.bsky.social, @sarahlpatrick.bsky.social , @andreasphanopoulos.bsky.social and Jiahuang Mao. They report a simple transfer fluorination method to recycle fluoride content of HFCs, HFOs, fluoroethers, and PFAS. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

New paper out today in @natsynth.nature.com
from Wenbang Yang. We describe addition of Zn–Zn bonds to main group carbenes. The system nicely illustrates the continuum between oxidative addition and reductive addition processes. rdcu.be/ejPSS

Gina and Martí's paper, in collaboration with Phil Miller, on the isolation and structural characterisation of a couple of Pd2Zn2 clusters is now out in Organometallics. Here is the link. pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10....
