A PN adamamtane for MOFs! Our 1st (successful) foray into MOFs. Conceived + executed by student Pinelopi Tsami. Larger, flexible, e-rich (10 lone pairs!), PNMR active vs adamamtane tetrabenzoic acid. Happy to ship you some! Paper: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.15… @chemistryatuvic

🧪 Indenyl ligands are well known for their structural flexibility. In our new preprint, we show how phosphorus substitution can add a new dimension: electronic flexibility through redox activity as demonstrated by investigating a Mn(I) redox couple! chemrxiv.org/doi/abs/10.2643…

Herein, we show that a phosphonium-substituted diphosphaindenylide (PPIPh) functions as a genuine two-electron redox-active π-ligand. The cationic manganese complex [Mn(CO)3(η5‑PPIPh)][BArF24]...

Interested in multimetallic complexes? In our latest accepted paper, we show how the hapticity in indenyl systems can be used as a switch to access different multimetallic coordination modes, including a rare Cr-Ag motif. pubs.rsc.org/dt/article/doi/…

It’s Novit!! Dicationic tetrylenes [E]²⁺ are fascinating: Lewis acidic, ambiphilic, unstable, and hard to bind to metals. In our new Angew. Chem. Novit paper @angew_chem, we stabilize them and show how they modulate Pt⁰ electrophilicity in catalysis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Dicationic Tetrylene Ligands Modulate Pt0 π‐Acid Catalysis

Dicationic tetrylenes [E]2+ (Ge, Sn, Pb) serve as tunable Z-type ligands that enhance Pt0 π-acid catalysis with dual-level, coarse-to-fine tunability. The experimentally determined σ-accepting...
