Metal-metal cooperativity goes long distance! Check it out in the first pre-print @ChemRxiv related to our @ERC_Research project: N2-CONVERT. This was really a team effort over many years that was brought to the finish line by @RMultem 😀chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…

Excited to share our last work 🥳🥳🥳. A photoexcited triplet Ge that lasts hours and, while being there, breaks a few molecules, including benzene. We hope you like it. Our feeling: there's plenty of space for discovery on low-valent MG photochemistry nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

A photoexcited triplet state germylene with a half-life of hours at room temperature

Nature Chemistry - Triplet tetrylenes are typically too short-lived for detailed investigation. Now a triplet germylene with a 14-h half-life at 25 °C has been generated through...
