MOLECULAR ZINTL PHASES with tetra-anionic Si, Ge, Sn, Pb accessible using soluble form of Mg(0). Although all E(4-) anions are full valence-shell octets, they are highly reactive. Some are stable, some not. The Sn(-IV) complex is an 8e-reductant shorturl.at/InmD6 @natsynth.nature.com

Wow, this is beautiful…

Congrats, Fabian!

favorite @helvchimacta.bsky.social article: Willot et al. further develop a creative route to a broad family of multidentate and chiral NHC-Phosphine ligand precursors through methylenephosphonium adducts of manganese. doi.org/10.1002/hlca...

Continuing their tradition: another fantastic work from Liam @gliam96.bsky.social , Victor Mougel, and co-workers.

Excited to share the latest work from David Anderson just accepted @angewandtechemie.bsky.social on the structure and applications of #sodium #neopentyl a donor free #organosodium #reagent soluble in #hydrocarbon solvents @unibe.ch

Soft magnetic hysteresis in a dysprosium amide–alkene complex up to 100 kelvin - Nature A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

Delighted to announce the publication of our work in @nature.com, in collaboration with @nfchilton.bsky.social's group, on a dysprosium compound with magnetic memory at 100 Kelvin. Congrats to all authors inc. @gemmagransbury.bsky.social, @jeffjefftyjeff.bsky.social

Transient Triplet Metallopnictinidenes M–Pn (M = PdII, PtII; Pn = P, As, Sb): Characterization and Dimerization Nitrenes (R–N) have been subject to a large body of experimental and theoretical studies. The fundamental reactivity of this important class of transient intermediates has been attributed to their electronic structures, particularly the accessibility of triplet vs singlet states. In contrast, electronic structure trends along the heavier pnictinidene analogues (R–Pn; Pn = P–Bi) are much less systematically explored. We here report the synthesis of a series of metallodipnictenes, {M–Pn═Pn–M} (M = PdII, PtII; Pn = P, As, Sb, Bi) and the characterization of the transient metallopnictinidene intermediates, {M–Pn} for Pn = P, As, Sb. Structural, spectroscopic, and computational analysis revealed spin triplet ground states for the metallopnictinidenes with characteristic electronic structure trends along the series. In comparison to the nitrene, the heavier pnictinidenes exhibit lower-lying ground state SOMOs and singlet excited states, thus suggesting increased electrophilic reactivity. Furthermore, the splitting of the triplet magnetic microstates is beyond the phosphinidenes {M–P} dominated by heavy pnictogen atom induced spin–orbit coupling.

Our paper on triplet pnictinidenes (P, As, Sb) with transition metal substituents is out; congrats to Marc, Nils, Tarek and Rich and thanks to all that have contributed to get a comprehensive electronic structure picture @haenisch-group.bsky.social
