Could the discovery of a catalyst in which aluminium shifts easily between oxidation states be the beginning of the end for costly transition-metal catalysts?

Excited to share our first publication of 2026 and our first foray into silicon chemistry now out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Huge thanks to everyone involved for their hard work! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Excited to share that our Al/Cd platforms serve as tamed Al(II) surrogates. Thanks a lot to @lablichtenberg.bsky.social (&FW) for the great collaboration and effort on EPR! Read all about it in @chemicalscience.rsc.org 👩🔬👨🔬⬇️ #MyFirstChemSci @unikassel.bsky.social

N-Heterocyclic allenes can be made using a Ti vinylidene complex. Work by Bastiaan Kooij with support from Damien Chen (computations), Rosario Scopelliti (XRD) & Farzaneh Fadaei-Tirani (XRD). Out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
We report the synthesis and comprehensive characterisation of a square-planar Si(+IV) hydride supported by an unsymmetric, trianionic and dearomatised N,N,N-pincer ligand. This system enables element...
We explored the photophysics of heavy T‑shaped Pn trisamides and uncovered unique behaviour✨
A fantastic collaboration with the Winter and Coburger groups, combining synthesis, spectroscopy, and theory. Stellar work by Katharina and Soti 👏

The latest from the Gilliard and Cummins Labs....on the synthesis and reactivity of dioxaboriranes is now online in @natchem.nature.com (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)! Chonghe synthesized a series of unusual boron-O2 compounds, formed by N2 exchange from diazoboranes! @gilliardgroup.bsky.social
Incredibly proud to share our group's latest publication, now out in JACS! Thanks to MSc student Luise and collaborator Robert for making this happen.

#NewPI #Openings Dr. Hanna Cramer @h2cramer.bsky.social recently started her independent group at the Ruhr University Bochum. Check out her website below. She's looking to hire BS, MS and PhD students.
In this paper, we revisit one of the earliest reported bis(arene) sandwich complexes, [Fe(C6Me6)2], to finally solve a classic textbook question. As one of the reviewers mentioned, this is one for the organometallics purists!

The unique photophysical properties of heavy T-shaped Sb and Bi trisamides are reported. A ligand-to-pnictogen charge-transfer excitation from a redox-active NNN pincer to a vacant pnictogen p-orbita...
Cyclic peroxides are highly reactive oxygen-containing species that play important roles in chemical synthesis. Now, the reaction between diazoboranes and triplet oxygen affords a family of cyclic dio...
Molecular complexes of iron in the rare +1 oxidation state have been shown to be efficient catalysts for industrially relevant chemical transformations, typically associated with the increasingly unsu...

In this communication, we revisit one of E. O. Fischer’s seminal discoveries to solve a textbook question: is the iron(0) complex [Fe(C6Me6)2] an 18-valence-electron complex with a ‘ring-slip’ (η6,η4)...
Im Jahr 2025 waren aller guten Dinge der Hauptgruppenchemie drei: ein dreifach geladenes Triborattrianion, ein Molekül mit linearer Al3-Einheit, das dritte Erdalkalimetall, das Stickstoff bindet, ein ...
Low-valent aluminum chemistry continues to expand the boundaries of main-group reactivity, yet the selective generation and transfer of Al(II) fragments remain underexplored. Controlled Al(II) transfe...
