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

In @science.org this week from Simon Aldridge's group, CO is a sneaky thief: binds unexpectedly to tin at low temp, then steals both its ligands to make a carbene 🧪

What a beauty!

CAPTURING CHALCOGENIDES: A soluble Mg(0) metal crown complex reduces and captures chalcogenes. Large anions Se(2-) and Te(2-) need ring enlargement. Highlight: a first molecular s-block metal telluride complex with nearly planar pentacoordinated Te(2-). shorturl.at/n4TUm

Enlightening piece of dictation chemistry from our group!

Many congratulations! 🙌

Thank you 🙏

THIS CHALLENGING SYNTHESIS completes the (BDI)Ae-(benzene)-Ae(BDI) series (Ae = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) with Ba. We show trends in stability, structure, bonding and reactivity. Reacting like (BDI)Ba-Ba(BDI) this is the first Ba(I) synthon. shorturl.at/ZdToA @chemicalscience.rsc.org

Corina's next paper is out in Austr. J. Chem. The two ions [Fc2PhP]+ and [Fc2PhPH]+ differ only by the mass of a proton. While the molecular structures show very close resemblance, the spectroscopic properties are very different. doi.org/10.1071/CH25087

Our recent work on low-valent phosphorus chemistry in JACS has been highlighted by Nobel laureate Prof. Benjamin List.
Blessed to be a part!

P4 REDUCTION generally results in multi-nuclear Zintl anions: P8(2-), P4(2-) or P7(3-). Reaction with a soluble Mg(0) complex gave full reduction to P(3-). Latter anion serves as a triple base, a three-fold nucleophile or 3e-reducing agent. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10
