Today we report on the mechanism of intermolecular deprotonation and decomposition of tin(II) amides, and highlight that this mechanism is thermally accessible for the well-known Sn(HMDS)2. Variation of the amide enables access to C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–H activated products.

Our latest paper investigating Calcium-Zinc cooperativity is just out in @Orgmet_ACS. Pleasure to see @MarcosLopezAg get stuck into this during his time at @BathChem, Vamos!

From photoexcited Ga(III) to Ga(I).
Unexpectedly, Ga(I) reacts via photoinduced disproportionation, enabling the first oxidative addition of aryl iodides at a Group 13 center.
Our latest work is now out in @J_A_C_S!
Huge credit to Nijito and Sota!

We've been busy! Another publication from our collaboration with Profs Chalker and Flewitt has been published this week. We report here on how aluminium incorporation changes the semiconducting properties of bulk SnO. Read about it here: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
Just out in Advanced Electronic Materials! In collaboration with Profs. Chalker (@LivUni) and Flewitt (@Cambridge_Uni @SidneySussex), we report on the low temperature ALD and processing of SnO, with long term stable (>2 years!) TFTs. Check it out here: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley…
Proud that my first joint corresponding author, and #MyFirstChemSci is now online at @ChemicalScience. We report on a Rh(III) σ-alkane complex that is indefinitely stable in the solid-state, where the supporting ligand undergoes reversible C-H activation.

DFT calculations (@MacgregorChem) shed light on the role of the trans ligand (alkene, alkane, allyl) in the reversible nature of the C-H activation of the backbone. @WellerYorkChem
Nice to see this online and happy to contribute with the DFT. A huge amount of work went into this paper across multiple universities! Well done to all involved!

We recently published a tutorial on single-crystal to single-crystal transformations and solid/gas methods in @DaltonTrans. We hope that this guide encourages many others to give the solid-state a go! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Incredibly proud to share our group's latest publication, now out in JACS! Thanks to MSc student Luise and collaborator Robert for making this happen.

We posted our latest paper about a Y-shaped dianionic Al4 molecule featuring a negative charge close to -2 to ChemRxiv.

Happy to have been able to contribute to the DFT aspects of this paper. Glad to see it out!
Just out in @InorgChem, we report on the synthesis of a family of zinc metallacarborane complexes, and the thorough investigation of the Zn-carborane bonding through quantum chemical calculations.

Thrilled to share a first publication of the group! We report on cadmium aluminyls that find application as Cd-nucleophiles and(!) Al(I)-Transfer reagents. Now out in @J_A_C_S ! Thanks to @chemieverband for the generous funding of our research. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Excited to see this work published today in @J_A_C_S , fun chemistry and a real group effort here by @clairemcmullin , @Morales_Chem, @murcoswift and big Mike! (@BathChem)

Just published! Interested in metallic thin films produced by CVD? Today we report on the deposition of extremely conformal and atomically pure metallic nickel thin films. Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Back at the University of York for the next couple of days to run some Gas Electron Diffraction experiments with the Wann Group.

We’re excited to share the next step in our pursuit of weak ligands: the successful coordination of an alkane and characterisation and isolation of its complex.
Many thanks to our cooperation partners at the UNSW Sydney, who made the characterisation in solution possible
Why does n-Pentane coordinate towards the 16 VE fragment [Mn(CO)5]+. The answer is simple: it is the best ligand available in this system. Read about the necessary conditions here @KrossingGroup @Malte_Sellin @James_DWatson #AngewandteVIP #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
