From @maxdietz.bsky.social and Simon Aldridge’s group, an example of a main-group tin-carbonyl complex (@science.org). Above 0 degrees Celsius, this CO complex rearranges to form a tin carbene complex. 🔗 CSD Entry ELAMIR: dx.doi.org/10.5517/ccdc... #FeaturedStructureFriday #CompChemSky

I am happy to share that our latest paper has been published in @science.org. In this work, we report the synthesis of novel tin carbonyl and carbene complexes. Thanks to all collaborators! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @humboldt-foundation.de @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

A main-group metal carbonyl complex: Structure and isomerization to a carbene-stabilized tin atom
In contrast to transition elements, s- and p-block metal compounds that coordinate carbon monoxide (CO) under near-ambient conditions are elusive. Here, we report an isolable, crystalline main-group m...

The Aldridge group had an amazing time at @eucomc2025.bsky.social. A great selection of talks and some exciting poster discussions! @maxdietz.bsky.social gave a talk, and the rest of the group presented posters.

Really excited to see the first publication of my PhD out now in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! Great to be a part of this paper with @maxdietz.bsky.social and @josefboronski.bsky.social investigating some exciting tin chemistry.

We report the first stable hexavalent nickel complex! It's formed by reductive addition of three Be-Be bonds at nickel(0), producing Ni(BeCp)6 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

A Crystalline NiX6 Complex
High-valent nickel species are implicated as intermediates in industrially relevant chemical transformations and in the catalytic cycles of metalloenzymes. Although a small number of tetravalent NiX4 ...
