A year ago, amid the pandemic, we proposed that @RoySocChem should compile a collection of Latin American contributions to chemistry. The collection was well received; 24 journals and 16 editors participated in the selection/1

I’m very pleased to share our new paper in @angew_chem. We integrate substituent effects into the classical Wade–Mingos rules for dicarboranes.
Analysis of 74,613 C2B4R6 clusters reveals that substituents (not only electron pairs) govern stability.

Our latest study explores the PES of the dianion B10H14(2-), revealing a more stable B10H10(2-)⋯2H2 complex, 21.5 kcal/mol lower in energy than the known arachno structure.
Kudos to @gerardo0339 @murillofmc @FOrtizChi @jbarrozom and Alejandro Vásquez

Zeise's salt, the first organometallic compound synthesized (1825), is σ-aromatic.
This study is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Ankur @AnkurKGuha, Marieta @mafernan9, and Mesias @MesiasOrozco, and has just been published in @InorgChem

Excited to share our new publication in Organic Chemistry Frontiers!
Together with @capvalr, Miguel Angel Vazquez, @APoater, and @OscarHalla, we explored the reactivity of 1,2,5-azadiborolidine derivatives toward CO.

And when we thought we already knew all possible small molecules, N6 suddenly appears🤯
One of the most beautiful papers of the 21st century was published yesterday.

Our new @JPhysChem paper explores C₂H₇NO isomers, identifying 8 structures incl. 1-aminoethanol (global min) & methylaminomethanol. Rotational constants and conformer data support ISM searches for N/O organics.

New paper in @PCCP! We explore the structure, bonding & reactivity of C₃H₂Au⁺, C₃HAu₂⁺ & C₃Au₃⁺. Cyclic isomers support the Au–H analogy & show aromatic 3c–2e π-bonding. C–Au covalency shapes reactivity.
