Feel free to check out my poster ND-952-F on the organometallic chemistry of N-heterocyclic diazoolefins in Poster Area 3M, right next to the left staircase. I will also give a presentation this afternoon at 16:50 in Room 200! #ICCC2026

Do you like phosphorus-containing heterocycles? And NMR spectroscopy? Then you are in for a treat! Check out our most recent work out today in @chemicalscience.rsc.org pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Fantastic work by the indefatigable David Meier who persevered when most would have given up.

Exceptionally large “through-space” nuclear spin coupling in a 2,4,6-tri(phosphanyl)-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene
We describe the synthesis of a phosphanyl-functionalized 1,3,5-triphosphabenzene that exhibits remarkably large indirect spin-spin coupling (432 Hz) between phosphorus-31 nuclei. The magnitude of this...

Catalytic methane functionalization and all it takes is... beryllium! We also compare the mechanisms of methane beryllation and borylation to reveal why Be finds it so easy @pubs.acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Methane Beryllation Catalyzed by a Base Metal Complex
The homogeneous catalytic functionalization of methane is extremely challenging due to the relative nonpolarity and high C–H bond strength of this hydrocarbon. Here, using catalytic quantities (10 mol...
