Fresh out of the oven, in @angew_chem. That's what happens when you replace P with Sb. Structurally Constrained Stibenium: Metallomimetic C−Si Bond Activation onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Congrats to our very talented @DoniaToami99 👏👏!

Deeply saddened by the passing of my PhD advisor, Prof. Yitzhak Apeloig. He taught me to think critically and question every conclusion. Tough and demanding, yet exceptionally supportive. His influence shaped me as a scientist. He will remain in my memory and heart forever.

I’m happy to share two recent papers on our ketenyl anion chemistry: In @J_A_C_S, we report the isolation of the long-elusive pyridylketenyl🔥 anion, an ideal precursor for N-fused heterocycles. Congrats to Stephan for taming this challenging species. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

A very similar H–H bond activation mechanism to our phosphenium system (doi.org/10.1038/s41557-024-0…). Congrats, Leo!!! Very interesting work!!!
Hot off the press @NatureChemistry: we extend σ⁰π² carbenes to a neutral system, showing H₂ activation via a σ-face pathway near the least-motion limit. Congrats Fei, Haoxiang, Miaomiao & thanks to editors and reviewers! nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

Check out our new work on “BOSS” coatings led by @hashim_khun. This is a new class of ultra water-repellent materials inspired by the unique chemistry of boron clusters. These coatings are easy to apply from solution and combine several useful properties at once, including strong water resistance, durability, fire retardancy, and controlled breakdown at high temperatures. By using three-dimensional boron-based molecular building blocks instead of traditional carbon-based materials, we were able to create coatings with performance that is impossible to achieve using conventional approaches: chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…

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 👏 chemistry-europe.onlinelibra…

Cool! Congrats Robert!
Our research on the first dioxaboriranes (formed via N2 to O2 exchange), is now online in @NatureChemistry (nature.com/articles/s41557-0…)! @Chonghe10 explores the synthesis and reactivity of unusual boron peroxides! @gilliardgroup @ccclabmit #maingroup #boron

4,5-Diaminofluorenes are tough targets. In our new @ChemicalScience paper, Emily & Fabian use group 13 radicals for skeletal editing - deleting oxygen from xanthenes to access them on gram scale. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Arti…
