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)

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!
