I’m absolutely delighted that latest instalment of the methane complex story from my PhD has just been published in @J_A_C_S! #methane #NMR #ChemTwitter pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

[Fp(CH4)]+, [η5‑CpRu(CO)2(CH4)]+, and [η5‑CpOs(CO)2(CH4)]+: A Complete Set of Group 8 Metal–Methane...

Abstract. Here, we report the NMR spectroscopic analysis of the group 8 transition metal methane σ-complexes [η5-CpM­(CO)2(CH4)]­[Al­(OC­(CF3)3)4] (M = Fe,

The first combined solid and solution state analysis of a sigma alkane complex has been reported in @angew_chem by the @KrossingGroup. CSD entry FUZZEJ contains the first sigma alkane complex to be crystallized from solution. 🔗ccdc-info.com/3TbaoG4 #FeaturedStructureFriday

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/…

Promoting Alkane Binding: Crystallization of a Cationic Manganese(I)‐Pentane σ‐Complex from Solution

Oxidation of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ under pseudo gas-phase conditions generates the weakly coordinated 16 valence electron complex [Mn(CO)₅]⁺, which binds n-pentane as the strongest ligand available in this...

How many electrons does nitrogen (N2) need to be reduced to #ammonia (2 NH3)? No surprises here, it is still 6 e-. A real surprise is that we @HoangLongDu @DRMacFarlane @ChemistryMonash can do this in a real experiment, for the first time on this planet: rdcu.be/cSdcG

Our paper “Binding methane to a metal centre” is now available in Nature Chemistry (link below). This is the first publication to come out of my PhD and hopefully there will be many more to come! #organometallics #NMR #methane ⁦@NatureChemistry⁩ nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

Does anyone have any ideas/know how I could extend the amount time I can keep a spectrometer cold (-90 °C) while running VT experiments? 1/2 #chemtwitter #NMRchat #NMR

I am constantly battling against the LN2 accessory running out and if there was a way to top it up or replace the dewar without warming the spectrometer then that would be a game changer! 2/2

Very sad to learn that Fred Hawthorne passed away this morning. He was a true chemistry trailblazer and inspiration for many of us. Here is an editorial from two years ago about some of Fred’s contributions: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

“Mr. Boron”, an Inorganic Chemistry Icon, Turns 90

1928 was a fruitful year. It gave the world Mickey Mouse, the first commercial production of the yo-yo, and the first solo nonstop transpacific airplane fl

Does anyone out there have a pulse program for 1H homonuclear decoupling and solvent suppression suitable for VT NMR? I have tried a Frankenstein zgesp + zg0hd but can't seem to get it to work... #NMR #NMRchat
