No need for transition metals or time-consuming ligand syntheses: in our latest publication, we activate very strong covalent bonds with an in-situ formed dicationic digallene.

A donor-ligand-free dinitrogen complex: [Mn(CO)₅(η¹-N₂)]⁺.
In @J_A_C_S we explore how this unusual binding affects N₂ polarization and coordination.
Thanks to all collaborators!

In our new paper published in @ChemElectroChem, we investigate how lithium and sulfur potentials correlate depending on the electrolyte. doi.org/10.1002/celc.2…

We’re excited to share the next step in our pursuit of weak ligands: the successful coordination of an alkane and characterisation and isolation of its complex.
Many thanks to our cooperation partners at the UNSW Sydney, who made the characterisation in solution possible

Why does n-Pentane coordinate towards the 16 VE fragment [Mn(CO)5]+. The answer is simple: it is the best ligand available in this system. Read about the necessary conditions here @KrossingGroup @Malte_Sellin @James_DWatson #AngewandteVIP #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Coating or doping (or maybe both)? This question is investigated in Fritz Wortelkamps paper on using an (H2AlOtBu)2 precursor to coat NaCrO2 active cathode material and improve its performance.
