Tuning the Electronic Properties of Azophosphines as Ligands and Their Application in Base-Free Transfer Hydrogenation Catalysis The design and tuning of new ligands is crucial for unlocking new reactivity at transition metal centers. Azophosphines have recently emerged as a new class of 1,3-P,N ligands in ruthenium piano-stool...

Nice to see this work out in Organometallics doi.org/10.1021/acs.... arising from new azophosphine ligands developed by Andy Jupp's group at Birmingham, and marking our our first foray into using ReactIR to study catalysis.

ah no, it's been a long time since I've been. It would be good to go again!

Thanks Tom, that's very true! We just sneaked in under the deadline with minutes to spare..... Things will be good in about 24 h when I've submitted this pesky grant and put the holiday email reply on! It's been a while since we caught up - hope things are good?

Regiodivergent Gold-Catalyzed Rearrangement–Addition Reactions of Sulfenylated Propargylic Carboxylates with Indoles Sulfenylated propargylic carboxylates were introduced to investigate the influence of sulfur substitution in gold-catalyzed alkyne activation pathways. Regiodivergent gold-catalyzed rearrangement and ...

Let's see what's going on here with a first post: Congratulations to Nagnath, Paige and Aniket for their work out now in a special issue of Organic Letters on gold-mediated chemistry doi.org/10.1021/acs....
