The Methylbismuth Dication: Pentagonal Pyramidal Coordination and Ligand‐Induced Lewis Superacidity The simplistic methylbismuth dication has been captured only by the aid of monodentate tetrahydrofuran (thf) ligands, [BiMe(thf)5]2+. The hexacoordinate species shows a very unusual pentagonal pyrami...

Unusual coordination chemistry & reactivity: the methyl #bismuth dication shows a pentagonal pyramidal coordination and can be turned into a Lewis #superacid.

Isolation of a Monomeric Bis(pyridylimino) Isoindolide (BPI) Radical Dianion and Further Insights Into Structures of Reduced BPI Compounds This article reports on the isolation of a monomeric compound with a dianionic singly reduced bis(pyridylimino) isoindolide (BPI) ligand and elaborated discussions on the structure of reduced BPIs.

Are you interested in radical #chemistry or redox-active ligands?

New work by @brehergroup.bsky.social about the isolation of a stable radical dianion is now in early view @helvchimacta.bsky.social as part of a special issue dedicated to Prof. Dr. Armido Studer.
