Well done to the @unibe.ch delegation @rsc.org #MainGroupChemistry meeting @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social Congratulations to all and in particular to our @clarencetankl.bsky.social on winning the #posterprize #sodium #borylations

A pleasure to collaborate again with @Capriati_V on this graphical review just published in @synopen_journal
Proud of our joint effort showcasing how protic solvents like #water and #DESs are driving innovation and reshaping #MainGroupChemistry

An intermolecular Lewis pair based on tin acid and phosphonium ylide base functions The tin-containing Lewis acid group (C 2 F 5 ) 3 Sn was combined with a phosphonium ylide as base function in one molecule: o -[(C 2 F 5 ) 3 Sn]-C 6 H 4 (Ph) 2 PCMe 2 . It was prepared by reacting the...

It is wonderful to read these encouraging words about our work! #aluminum #frustratedlewispairs #maingroupchemistry

Uncovering diverse reactivity of NHCs with diazoalkane: C–H activation, CC bond formation, and access to N-heterocyclic methylenehydrazine N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have attracted significant attention due to their strong σ-donating capabilities, as well as their transition-metal-like reactivity towards small molecules. However, the...
