Isolation of a Monomeric Bis(pyridylimino) Isoindolide (BPI) Radical Dianion and Further Insights Into Structures of Reduced BPI Compounds
This article reports on the isolation of a monomeric compound with a dianionic singly reduced bis(pyridylimino) isoindolide (BPI) ligand and elaborated discussions on the structure of reduced BPIs.

New paper now out in Early View @angewandtechemie.bsky.social !

We @brehergroup.bsky.social describe radical #photochemistry of main group #organometallics with visible light. With our article we want to make the described concept accessible to a broader #chemistry community.

The first mono ortho-phenylene bridged Al/P FLP was synthesized and characterized. Its reactivity was probed against several small molecules. Thanks to Melina Dianas 👍 doi.org/10.1002/ejic...
Reactivity of an ortho‐Phenylene‐bridged Al/P Frustrated Lewis Pair Towards Small Molecules
Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) as ambiphilic molecules are prone to activate small molecules and are in the focus of interest for many years. In this paper, we present the first ortho-phenylene bridge...
