Thrilled to share a first publication of the group! We report on cadmium aluminyls that find application as Cd-nucleophiles and(!) Al(I)-Transfer reagents. Now out in @J_A_C_S ! Thanks to @chemieverband for the generous funding of our research. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

pubs.acs.org Functional Al/Cd HeterometallicsFrom Controlled Al(I) Transfer to Nucleophilic Transfer of Cadmium... Abstract. Low-valent cadmium compounds have remained largely unexplored as electron reservoirs, with no precedent for their use in reduction or bond activa

Dominic's work on Al/Hg heterometallics with diverse reactivity just appeared as a preprint.

Zn and Cd had their fun. Now Hg joins the low-valent group 12 reactivity game. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧪

Excited to share that our Al/Cd platforms serve as tamed and thermally accessible Al(II) sources. Thanks a lot(!) to @LabLichtenberg (&FW) for the fantastic collaboration and all the effort on EPR spectroscopy! Read all about it in @ChemicalScience ⬇️👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

@olie_chem and I summarized some recent developments in molecular main-group chemistry. A fun project with many beautiful new discoveries last year!
The annual "Trendbericht" can i.e. be read here:
