Great to be a part of this paper!

Really grateful for the chance to help Chenyang wrap up his final project, especially after learning so much from him along the way.
Here's the latest from Goicoechea Group alumnus and master synthetic chemist Chenyang Hu:

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.

What better way to kick off my Bluesky account than at #ACSFall2025 meeting in Washington DC!

I’ll be giving a talk at the Main Group Chemistry session on some of my recent work @goicoecheagroup.bsky.social tomorrow (August 19) at 8:20 AM in East Salon B.

Can't wait to catch up with everyone!
