Awesome Conference, great organisation and inspiring talks!

Main-Group Elements Reactivity Conference (MG-ERC) @mgerc-unamur.bsky.social · 29d

For the first plenary talk of the day, we have @bismutolab.bsky.social from the University of Bonn. He will be showing us what happens when we shine light on dipnictenes. Fascinating right, enjoy!

Alessandro Bismuto, University of Bonn, and colleagues have synthesized and characterized three- and four-membered heterocyclic rings containing Sb₂- or Bi₂-units, obtained from heavy dipnictenes (Sb=Sb, Bi=Bi) and different azides

We showed the activation of distibene and dibismuthene with a series of azides to generate small inorganic rings. The divergent reactivity has lead to an interesting example of NHC-stabilised imino-bismuthane.

Thanks to the great collaborations with, Green, Grimme @grimmelab.bsky.social and Kornienko groups, we have been able to analyse the mechanism and investigate the effect of light with CV measurements and validate it using computational methods. Check the paper for more infos

It's not often you get to write pnictogen in a headline, even at @cenmag.bsky.social. Neat multi-antimony rings made and characterized by Alessando Bismuto and @tonifrontera.bsky.social's team.
