Our latest publication on isolation of base-supported germavinylidene: online now @natcomms.nature.com Congratulations to everyone involved! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A base-stabilized germavinylidene - Nature Communications
Germavinylidenes, the heavier congeners of vinylidenes, have long remained elusive, both as free species and in Lewis base-stabilized forms. Herein, the authors report the isolation of a base-stabiliz...

Happy to share our latest publication on isolation of plumbynes @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Crystalline Plumbynes
Despite more than a century of organolead chemistry, all isolable organolead compounds have thus far been confined to Pb–C single bonds. Here we disclose the synthesis, structural authentication, and ...

We’ve been quiet for a while, but here’s something exciting: hot off the press: a crystalline monomeric diboryl diazene @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
A Crystalline Monomeric Diboryl Diazene
Azo compounds (R─N═N─R′) are a foundational class of nitrogen-containing molecules. In contrast to the bench-stability of many azo derivatives, monomeric diboryl diazenes (R2BN═NBR2) have long eluded ...
