STRONTIUM POWER: Although this series follows the octet rule, only neutral Ph3N is stable. Ph3B is very resistant to double reduction. Only Ar3B.- radical anions are known. However, it had to surrender to strontium. @angew_chem doi.org/10.1002/anie.3…
OXIDATION STATE CONFUSION in look-alike Mg-Ca and Mg-Yb complexes. Formally Mg(0)-Ca(II)/Yb(II) but energy decomposition analysis EDA-NOCV suggests a combination of neutral (BDI*)Mg(I)/(Am*)Yb(I) radicals @ChemicalScience doi.org/10.1039/d6sc05…
SOLVENT-FREE ALKALINE-EARTH ALKYLS are very useful precursors in group 2 chemistry. Here we report facile syntheses of highly reactive Ca, Sr and Ba complexes, partially by ball-mill methods. @Orgmet_ACS doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…
Even microwave conditions did not lead to deprotonation of the arm. But the tridentate nacnac ligand stabilizes heteroleptic Sr complexes which are normally very much prone to Schlenk equilibria. @ZAAC_Journal doi.org/10.1002/zaac.7…
