Great to see a @unistrathclyde.bsky.social alumnus completing a PhD at @unibe.ch the last of a long line of the transitioning Glaswegians. Congratulations David for his remarkable publication record and well done to you too Eva.
We ended the week with a new #PhD in the group! Congratulations #DavidAnderson 🏴 on your PhD thesis advancing the #coordination and synthetic #applications of #organosodiumreagents @unibe.ch thanks @spthomasgroup.bsky.social and @albrecht-lab.bsky.social for being part of the examination committee

TIRE CHANGE: First Mg(I) complex with a Cp* ligand enables facile ligand exchange. Reaction with RONa gives (BDI)Mg-MgOR and Cp*Na. This paves the way for syntheses of many new asymmetric Mg(I) complexes. @angew_chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Another outstanding breakthrough from a team of the highest calibre
THIS CHALLENGING SYNTHESIS completes the (BDI)Ae-(benzene)-Ae(BDI) series (Ae = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) with Ba. We show trends in stability, structure, bonding and reactivity. Reacting like (BDI)Ba-Ba(BDI) this is the first Ba(I) synthon. shorturl.at/ZdToA @chemicalscience.rsc.org
