🚨Calling medicinal chemists🚨:
A Suzuki het-het coupling sometimes does not require complex ligands. An air stable Ni would do.
Amazing work from @rsaeb2 Rakan Saeb and Byeongdo Roh.

What happens when you mix carboxylic acids and pyridines? Acid-base reaction? You are only partially right. Check our latest article, isocyanates can greatly enhance the photochemical expansion of pyridines to 1,2-diazepines! @ILV_UMR8180 @XMoreau_ILV

Happy to share this work from my PhD in @CornellaLab. Our “super naked“ nickel complex enables ligand exchange studies which are not accessible from classical precursors.
Thanks for the very nice collaboration @Nils_Not_ , it was really a pleasure :)

Here is our latest article on the chemistry of nickel. Super #naked nickel, sounds exciting doesn't it?! 😉 Thanks for another great stroy @CornellaLab and @rsaeb2! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Thianthrene meets nickel catalysis!
We are happy to present our newest publication in @NatureCatalysis about C–heteroatom coupling of TT-salts with electron-rich aryls using nickel and light.
Great collaboration with @CornellaLab
