Very happy to see one of our first “big projects” out in
@angewandtechemie.bsky.social! 🎉 We translate a molecular dinickel motif onto mesoporous silica - retaining Ni–Ni cooperativity while gaining new chemoselectivity. Huge thanks to Jitpisut Poolwong & all coauthors!

Defined Dinuclear Nickel Sites on Mesoporous Silica Translate Molecular Surface Mimics to Heterogeneous Catalysis
The cooperative reactivity characteristic of molecular dinuclear nickel complexes is transferred to mesoporous silica through a systematic immobilization strategy. The resulting material preserves th...
