🧪Research Highlight from from a @chemistryeurope.bsky.social journal
French chemists capture and study long-sought di-n-butylcalcium, showing it can perform useful reactions when kept ice-cold

Di-n-Butylcalcium exists! Thrilled to see this work from my previous postdoc published in @chemistryeurope.bsky.social It was truly a team effort and a fantastic collaboration between @rennesuniv.bsky.social @iscr-rennes.bsky.social and COBRA @univrouen.bsky.social
Investigating di‐n‐Butylcalcium
A detailed synthetic, crystallographic, and spectroscopic investigation demonstrates that the hitherto elusive di-n-butylcalcium is accessible and stable at low temperature, and can be used for depro...

A new study reveals the secrets of how nickel catalysts use electricity to convert carbon dioxide to fuels, particularly long-chain and branched hydrocarbon fuel molecules. cen.acs.org/materials/mo...
Nickel catalysts could lead to cheaper, more accessible transportation fuels
Electrochemical studies suggest nickel is an efficient alternative to copper in the production of long-chain and branched hydrocarbons

Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex - pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
So proud to congratulate first author Leon Gomm for his first paper in JACS. Thanks to Hui Zhu and Stefan Grimme for the ever helpful DFT calculations. @unibonn.bsky.social
Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex
A nickel-silylene complex is shown to reversibly activate benzene via C–H bond activation at ambient temperature. The benzene C–H bond formally adds across the Ni–Si core to form a nickel-silyl comple...
