New in @ScienceMagazine: We harness the remarkably low-entropy conversion of a Zn-hydride to Zn-formate species in an MFU-4l-type MOF to perform CO2 capture under high-temperature (H-O-T-T-O-G-O), industrially useful conditions. dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.a… cen.acs.org/materials/metal-…

Congrats to Jeff on his election to the National Academy of Sciences! chemistry.berkeley.edu/news/…

We show that metal-metal bonding in a trinuclear mixed-valence gadolinium cluster gives rise to S = 11 ground state. Thanks to @NAWS_CL, @nfchilton, and @rdavbritt. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

We stan MOF-74, which, incidentally, looks great on a sweater.

Out now in @ScienceMagazine: we show that metal-metal bonding in mixed-valence dilanthanide complexes gives rise to enormous coercive magnetic fields at high temperatures. Thanks to @NAWS_CL, @nfchilton, @rdavbritt, @profanalytis, and @NationalMagLab. bit.ly/3I4mT

Slow magnetic relaxation in a low-valent, group 5 isocyanide triad provides experimental evidence for the quadratic relationship between relaxation rate and spin-orbit coupling in single-molecule magnets. @UCB_Chemistry @maxplanckpress bit.ly/3DHxniK

Geometric spin frustration is at play in a new manganese bromide nanosheet out in @InorgChem. bit.ly/3oRttiB

Now in @J_A_C_S: We show that strong H2 binding at unsaturated Cu+ centers in Cu(I)-MFU-4l proceeds via a non-concerted pathway that involves a structurally characterized physisorbed precursor. @UCB_Chemistry @BerkeleyLab @HyMARC_Labs @BRBChemistry bit.ly/3jyxENw

In our latest work in @J_A_C_S with @ReimerLab, we examine unusual CO2 uptake in the MOF dmen–Mg2(dobpdc) using non-traditional adsorption measurements, solid-state NMR, and DFT. bit.ly/3BRAdAw
