We're happy to share Amin’s work on a sequential one-pot N-alkylation and aminocarbonylation of primary amines catalysed by heterobimetallic Ir/Pd complexes in cooperation with Michael Roemelt. Now out in @chemicalscience.rsc.org doi.org/10.1039/d5sc...

Sequential One-Pot N-Alkylation and Aminocarbonylation of Primary Amines Catalyzed by Heterobimetallic Ir/Pd Complexes

The paper introduces bimetallic Ir/Pd complexes as catalysts to initiate an N-methylation coupled with an aminocarbonylation in a one-pot approach, in order to advance the field of carboxyamide synthe...

Magnetic Hysteresis up to 73 K in a Dysprosium Cyclopentadienyl-Amide Single-Molecule Magnet

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) based on dysprosocenium cations, [Dy(CpR)2]+ (CpR = substituted cyclopentadienyl), have set record effective energy barriers to magnetic reversal (Ueff) and temperatures...

Here's the latest from Goicoechea Group alumnus and master synthetic chemist Chenyang Hu:

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Some very elegant double-bond metathesis chemistry allows access to a phosphorus(III) telluride completing our collection of phosphorus-chalcogen double bonds.

Synthesis, Isolation, and Reactivity of a Phosphinidene Telluride

We describe the synthesis and isolation of a phosphinidene telluride. This species acts as a versatile phosphinidene transfer reagent accompanied by the extrusion of elemental tellurium.

How to catalytically cyclize alkyl species onto alkynes? Just add a pinch of bismuth! Read about our findings in controlled radical reactions catalyzed by well-defined manganese- bismuth heterobimetallic complexes, just published in ACS Catalysis @pubs.acs.org: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Bismuth Radical Catalysis: Thermally Induced Intramolecular C(sp3)–C(sp) Cyclization of Unactivated Alkyl Iodides and Alkynes

Bismuth radical chemistry has attracted increased interest in recent years. Here, we report a series of bismuth–manganese complexes that catalyze the intramolecular redox-neutral coupling of alkyl iod...
