Synthesis and reactivity of a small distibacycle featuring an Au–Sb bimetallic linkage Although unsaturated heavy dipnicta-heterocycles have recently received increasing attention, their reactivity still remains underexplored. Herein, we describe a comprehensive experimental and theoret...

Congratulation to Prasenjit and Matthias for adding gold in our azadistibiridine and study the unusual stepwise dyotropic rearrangement! Now published in @chemcomm.rsc.org Thanks @tonifrontera.bsky.social for the fruitful collaboration. #Antimony #Smallrings

I had the chance to go back and say goodbye to Halifax for my graduation ceremony. I'm so grateful for the experience of doing my masters with an unbelievable group and under incredible supervision. One day I'll be back in Halifax!

I'm honoured to be a new Canada Research Chair established this cycle @uvic.ca. The CRC in Inorganic Materials & Polymers will reveal new frontiers in main group chemistry, develop applications for green inorganic materials, and train chemists who can exploit the full breadth of the periodic table!

Geometrically Constrained Bismuth Compounds A major thrust of research in modern main group chemistry is the use of multidentate ligands to perturb geometries at p-block elements such that they deviate substantially from valence shell electron-...

Pleased to share our chapter in @springernature.com book Structure & Bonding on "Geometrically Constrained Bismuth Compounds". Co-written with recent MSc Tamina @taminazk.bsky.social. Many thanks to reviewers + ed. Crispin Lichtenberg!

Congrats to Tamina Kirsch for defending her MSc in our group! Over 3 papers + a book chapter she taught us a lot about pincer ligand design for main group chem.

Next: more main group magic in the @bismutolab.bsky.social at Bonn!

Thanks to NSERC + MITACS for funding!
