I'm happy that I got the chance to be involved in this interesting research project!
Unusual coordination chemistry & reactivity: the methyl #bismuth dication shows a pentagonal pyramidal coordination and can be turned into a Lewis #superacid. Read more about Johannes', @taminazk.bsky.social, and Bene's work in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...!
The Methylbismuth Dication: Pentagonal Pyramidal Coordination and Ligand‐Induced Lewis Superacidity
The simplistic methylbismuth dication has been captured only by the aid of monodentate tetrahydrofuran (thf) ligands, [BiMe(thf)5]2+. The hexacoordinate species shows a very unusual pentagonal pyrami...

Synthesis and reactivity of a small distibacycle featuring an Au–Sb bimetallic linkage
Although unsaturated heavy dipnicta-heterocycles have recently received increasing attention, their reactivity still remains underexplored. Herein, we describe a comprehensive experimental and theoret...

I had the chance to go back and say goodbye to Halifax for my graduation ceremony. I'm so grateful for the experience of doing my masters with an unbelievable group and under incredible supervision. One day I'll be back in Halifax!

I'm honoured to be a new Canada Research Chair established this cycle @uvic.ca. The CRC in Inorganic Materials & Polymers will reveal new frontiers in main group chemistry, develop applications for green inorganic materials, and train chemists who can exploit the full breadth of the periodic table!
Four new Canada Research Chairs at UVic!
• Marie-Eve Tremblay – Neurobiology of Healthy Cognitive Aging
• Saurabh S. Chitnis – Inorganic Materials & Polymers
• Joel Ong – Emergent Digital Art Practices
• Dominique Trischuk – Particle and Astroparticle Physics

Geometrically Constrained Bismuth Compounds
A major thrust of research in modern main group chemistry is the use of multidentate ligands to perturb geometries at p-block elements such that they deviate substantially from valence shell electron-...

Congrats to Tamina Kirsch for defending her MSc in our group! Over 3 papers + a book chapter she taught us a lot about pincer ligand design for main group chem.
Next: more main group magic in the @bismutolab.bsky.social at Bonn!
Thanks to NSERC + MITACS for funding!
