"Unraveling the Mechanism of a Co(−I)–Ga Photoreductant in the Catalytic Hydrodefluorination of Electron-Rich Fluoroarenes" is out in JACS. Co-first authors, Michael Dorantes (PhD UMN) and Francis Lam (postdoc, UniBonn) deserve special kudos. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Strong photoreductants based on first-row transition metals are rare. We report an anionic heterobimetallic Co(−I)–Ga complex, [(H2)CoGa(N(o-(NCH2PiPr2)C6H4)3)]− ([2-H2]–), that catalyzes the hydrodef...
