This guy is finally out!! Glad to collaborate with @harder_research.and @Sandeepthakur_K, and help them describe the first s-Block-Lanthanide bond! .Awesome chemistry that you can now check out here in @J_A_C_S @ALGC_VUB 🚀🚀.

Despite considerable progress in understanding the fundamental aspects of metal–metal bonding, lanthanide-metal bonding is limited to interactions between lanthanide (Ln) metals and electron-rich p-...

The synthesis and characterisation of two square planar {PdNO}10 pincer complexes [Pd(pincer)(NO)]+ is reported. Experimental evidence indicates adoption of a bent M−NO coordination mode and the...

Our work has been in the top 5 most read @Orgmet_ACS papers published within the last month! Don't miss it ⚡️. @chaplinlab @ALGC_VUB.
Happy to see my first-first-author finally out in @Orgmet_ACS! 🥳. We study the internal electrostatics in a large set of metal carbonyl complexes and the results help us better understand the M-CO bond, beyond the classic DCD explanation. Don't miss it!.

Very happy to see this article finally online!. It's been a blast to collaborate in this project with @harder_research on the identification of a benzene(4-) complex, congrats to all the team!. @ALGC_VUB @Sandeepthakur_K @RogerMonreal @angew_chem.
BENZENE(4-): Aromatic but not so stable - high charge & full antibonding orbitals! Most C6H6(4-) claims are highly controversial. We report proof for C6H6(4-) by comparing structures of Ca/Yb & Sr/Sm pairs that are normally perfectly matching @angew_chem
