Another great scientist has been spotted here in #CHEMnitz. Mark @crimmingroup is around as a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Awardee of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Today he delivered a great talk on molecular editing today and sparked interesting discussions.

Aylin's and Max's work on the activation of SF6 by our bis(gallylene) has been published @InorgChem . Nice collaboration with @RalfTonner. Thanks to @dfg_public for funding. #CHEMnitz pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Bimetallic Activation of SF6 by a Bis(Gallylene)

The degradation of the kinetically inert and potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride by a bimetallic main-group ambiphile (Lewis amphotere) is reported. Reaction of the bis(gallylene) 1 with SF6 at...

The work of Marcella and Janine on the non-innocence of a bis(β-diketiminate) is now part of a Themed Issue dedicated to the 60th birthday of Christian Limberg and Franc Meyer. Thanks to @dfg_public and TU Chemnitz for funding!!! #CHEMnitz onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The Noninnocence of a 1,2‐Phenylene‐Bridged Bis(β‐Diketiminate) Ligand

Reduction of the 1,2-phenylene-bridged aluminum(III) iodide complex does not afford the desired dinuclear aluminum(I) compound and intramolecular CC coupling, highlighting the noninnocence of the...

Happy to see our joint work with Christian Hering-Junghans on Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles that we dedicated to Manfred Scheer on the occasion of his 70th birthday published. Congrats to the team and many thanks to DFG for funding. chemistry-europe.onlinelibra…

Gallium/Group 15 Heterocycles Derived from a Bis(gallylene)

The ambident reactivity of the bis(gallylene) is demonstrated by the reactions with azobenzene and the triphosphirane (PMes)3, which give rise to a bis(spirocyle) and a 1,2-diphospha-3,4-digalletan...
