🔥Excited to share our latest: "C(sp2)–H Bond Activation with a Heterometallic Nickel---Aluminium Complex” Now out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social w/ @crimmingroup.bsky.social

Work done by PhD student, Joseph A. Zurakowski w/ Benedek Stadler & Mark Crimmin! 💪

The chemistry department here at Bath are celebrating 25 years of being in our new building! Past and present students and staff should come by for a fun day on 12th September with loads of great talks, food and maybe even a performance by the department band!

Happy Friday! Chuffed to see this work out in @rscmechanochem.rsc.org. Very thankful for all of the hard work put in for this paper, especially by Laura who helped to kickstart this mechanochemical venture.

Nucleophilicity at copper(-I) in a compound with a Cu–Mg bond - Nature Communications Many chemical reactions rely on the preference of copper for positive oxidation states. In this work, the authors report that the reaction of an N-heterocyclic carbene ligated copper alkoxide with a d...

Some lovely chemistry just out from the Liptrot group @bathchem.bsky.social

Combined Kinetic and Computational Analysis of the Palladium-Catalyzed Formylation of Aryl Bromides Aryl aldehydes are key synthetic intermediates in the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients. They are generated on scale (>1000 kg) through the palladium-catalyzed formylation of aryl bro...

Gina Rai's work in collaboration with GSK, @beckylgreenaway.bsky.social, and Phil Miller on the mechanism of Pd catalysed carbonylation of aryl bromides with CO/H2 is now published in ACS Catalysis. Here is the link: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Probing the reactivity of a transient Al(I) species with substituted arenes With only a handful of compounds known, opportunities to explore the structure and reactivity of dialumenes and related dialumene adducts have been limited. For the first time, a series of dialumene-a...

It seems Imogen's excellent paper is now up in its typeset form. Some really impressive work from her to get some great crystal structures and decoding some pretty complex NMR mixtures, and Michey doing the calcs here. Great work! We need more #MainGroupChem on #Chemsky

Oxidative Addition to Group 1 (K, Rb, Cs) Alumanyl Anions as a Route to o-Carboranyl (hydrido)aluminates The kinetic stability provided by the sterically demanding {SiNDipp}2− dianion (SiNDipp = {CH2SiMe2NDipp}2; Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) is intrinsic to the isolation of not only the group 1 alumanyl reagent...

Happy to see our latest paper out in @inorganics_MDPI as part of the bulky ligands special issue. A nice addition to o-carboranyls.

We’re based in Bath which is a wonderful place to live and work! Deadline is 15th December so if you know anyone interested in doing a PhD in the field please share, re-posting will be super appreciated!

Programming Copper–Zinc Heteromultimetallic Complexes for CO2 Reduction at University of Bath on FindAPhD.com PhD Project - Programming Copper–Zinc Heteromultimetallic Complexes for CO2 Reduction at University of Bath, listed on FindAPhD.com

hello world.

We’ve got potential PhD funding (part of an internal competition) in the group to look at designing and studying new heteromultimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction: tinyurl.com/HetMetCO2
