Had a great time in Edinburgh at the RSC Main Group AGM this week! Some fantastic talks and posters, great company, and it was nice to get a chance to present the work we've done on our aluminium(I) trimer as well! (Shout out to my official photographer @michi-tritto.bsky.social)

When it rains it pours for @mattdv-t.bsky.social! Our new paper in @daltontrans.rsc.org will hopefully be a one stop shop (reference) for anyone wishing to embark on amidine chemistry!

The first isolation of neutral aluminium(i) trimers called cyclotrialumanes is reported by Bakewell et al. in @natcomms.nature.com. CSD Entry OXATOA reveals a perfectly planar Al₃ ring, supported by a bulky amidinate framework. 🔗 dx.doi.org/10.5517/ccdc... #FeaturedStructureFriday #CompChemSky

It seems Imogen's excellent paper is now up in its typeset form. Some really impressive work from her to get some great crystal structures and decoding some pretty complex NMR mixtures, and Michey doing the calcs here. Great work! We need more #MainGroupChem on #Chemsky pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
