Great work by all, led by @ashishchemist.bsky.social A very rare example where a new catalytic reaction reveals a very fundamental organometallic question (Why is reductive elimination - and the reverse oxidative addtn - kinetically so much more favorable for Os than the isoelectronic Ir complex?)

Check out this preprint from @goldmangroup.bsky.social on (Pybox)Os-catalyzed tail-to-tail homo/hetero coupling of α-olefins. Striking mechanistic differences from isoelectronic (Phebox)Ir shed light on fundamental steps of oxidative addition and reductive elimination. doi.org/10.26434/che...

One of our group members, @sohamchakraborty.bsky.social will be presenting tomorrow at #ACSSpring2025! Stop by and hear about his work on alkane dehydrogenation using Pybox-ligated metal complexes

Presentation at 9:40am on Wednesday March 26, 2025. Room: hall G/H - Room 5 (San Diego convention center)

Check out this work from @goldmangroup.bsky.social in JACS @acsjacs.bsky.social telling an interesting story on bizarre selectivities for alkane dehydrogenation, H/D exchange and much more. Congrats to our very own Ashish @ashishchemist.bsky.social, Faraj, Tom and Alan @catalyzer.bsky.social

Great work by @ashishchemist.bsky.social and Prof. Faraj Hasanayn (AUB) demonstrating an unprecedented mechanism for double C-H activation of alkanes leading to dehydrogenation (and the reverse, olefin hydrogenation) and H/D exchange all with bizarre selectivity.
