When it rains it pours for @mattdv-t.bsky.social!
Our new paper in @daltontrans.rsc.org will hopefully be a one stop shop (reference) for anyone wishing to embark on amidine chemistry!
Registration deadline for the RSC main group meeting and AGM 16th March!
There’s a great line up of speakers and poster abstract submission still open - come and join us in Edinburgh!
Thank you for the write up @chemistryworld.com - an honour to have our work included in such great company!
Matt, Imogen and Mickey’s paper detailing the synthesis and reactivity of the first neutral Al(I) trimer is out now in @natcomms.nature.com! Check it out here along with @mattdv-t.bsky.social’s ‘behind the paper’ article!
The first isolation of neutral aluminium(i) trimers called cyclotrialumanes is reported by Bakewell et al. in @natcomms.nature.com.
CSD Entry OXATOA reveals a perfectly planar Al₃ ring, supported by a bulky amidinate framework.

Had a great time in Edinburgh at the RSC Main Group AGM this week! Some fantastic talks and posters, great company, and it was nice to get a chance to present the work we've done on our aluminium(I) trimer as well! (Shout out to my official photographer @michi-tritto.bsky.social)

A real labour of love for me, when I turned up Clare asked me to "make a few more ligands", advice I took and ran with.
See inside for all you could ever wish to know about making bulky amidine ligands...
Low oxidation state aluminium complexes have gained wide recognition as discrete and versatile 2-electron reductants, but neutral trimeric structures remain elusive. Here the authors report the synthe...
Amidinates ([R1NC(R2)NR3]−) are versatile and ubiquitous ligands in inorganic and main group chemistry, due to their anionic, bidentate nature and easy tunability. Herein we present the synthesis of 2...
Monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric aluminium(I) neutral complexes have all been previously reported, but a trimeric species has never previously been observed. We present the first trimeric neutral alu...
