The development of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) and their application in bond activation and catalysis have emerged as a hot topic in the field of main group chemistry over the last two decades. The ...

Single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas reactivity of [LAu(C2H4/CO)][BArF4] [L = tris-2-(4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl)phosphine] with NH3 or 15NH3 gives the ammonia complexes [LAu(NH3/15NH3)][BArF4]....

We are hiring a Postdoc! If you have PhD/PDRA experience in air sensitive, platinum group metal organometallics, are interested in using this expertise in single-crystal SMOM synthesis and reactivity,...

Gold(I) carbenes, defined as [LAu═CR2]+, are key intermediates in catalysis. Their isolation is challenging due to the high electrophilic character of the carbene that cannot be tempered solely by π-b...
