Many high-profile examples of photoredox catalysis are proposed to proceed via excitation of an open-shell intermediate form of the catalyst. However, there is much debate over whether such mechanism...

“Photoexcited radical redox” methods such as conPET and e-PRC have had a dramatic synthetic impact and led to many fascinating new chemical transformations, but their underlying mechanisms remain murk...

The direct functionalization of white phosphorus (P4) is gaining attention as an alternative to state-of-the-art multi-step processes. The hydrostannylation of P4 affords valuable monophosphorus compo...

The bulky Fe(0) N2 complex Fe(N2)(dibpe)2 has been prepared and efficiently produces NH3/N2H4 upon treatment with acid, similarly to previously investigated Fe(N2)(depe)2. However, it performs much l...

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,...

Aryl and alkyl chlorides are inexpensive and readily accessible, making them ideal reagents for converting white phosphorus (P4) into primary phosphines RPH2. However, methods for achieving this…
