Excited to share our new article which explores coordination-induced O-H and N-H bond weakening using earth-abundant metals like aluminum and iron! Did you know weakening these bonds is crucial for targeted reactivity and renewable energy? Thank you @NealMankad @SoumenSinha87.

Excited to share our group's strategies to stabilize mononuclear Al radicals! Redox-active ligands + strained geometries give Al biphilic character, letting it mimic d-/f-block metals. Thanks @NealMankad for the guidance!

Our publication in @J_A_C_S demonstrates that aluminum radicals can reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) through a single electron reduction which is typically thermodynamically less favorable. I am grateful to my PI, @NealMankad, for his constant support and motivation.

First inner-sphere reactivity of mononuclear Al(II). In collaboration with the Dan Ess group, unexpected mechanisms for net 2-electron CO2 reduction involving sequential 1-electron transfers and an unusual [CO2]·- ligand stabilized by metal coordination were established.

We utilized an electron-rich ligand (NON) to maintain redox innocence and discovered the first inner-sphere reactivity of mononuclear Al(II) for CO2 activation. Redox Innocence: Achieved using an electron-rich ligand (NON).

I'm excited to share our latest preprint on ChemRxiv! . Thank you to @NealMankad and collaborators for their invaluable contributions!. Cooperative CO2 activation involving a mononuclear aluminum(II) intermediate | ChemRxiv -
