STRONTIUM POWER: Although this series follows the octet rule, only neutral Ph3N is stable. Ph3B is very resistant to double reduction. Only Ar3B.- radical anions are known. However, it had to surrender to strontium. @angew_chem doi.org/10.1002/anie.3220261

A single-source precursor for mixed fuel gases!🔥Meet Mg[(CH₃)ZnH₃]—a hydride-rich organometallic that releases a mixture of #Hydrogen & #methane, at just 80 °C. A fundamental discovery that could open up practical applications! #energy #chemistry

A couple of new pre-prints just out from the group.
If you're interested in main group chemistry or the mechanisms of photoredox catalysis at least one of these should be of interest!

Today we report on the mechanism of intermolecular deprotonation and decomposition of tin(II) amides, and highlight that this mechanism is thermally accessible for the well-known Sn(HMDS)2. Variation of the amide enables access to C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–H activated products.
Our latest paper investigating Calcium-Zinc cooperativity is just out in @Orgmet_ACS. Pleasure to see @MarcosLopezAg get stuck into this during his time at @BathChem, Vamos!

Proud that my first joint corresponding author, and #MyFirstChemSci is now online at @ChemicalScience. We report on a Rh(III) σ-alkane complex that is indefinitely stable in the solid-state, where the supporting ligand undergoes reversible C-H activation.
