MOLECULAR ZINTL PHASES with tetra-anionic Si, Ge, Sn, Pb accessible using soluble form of Mg(0). Although all E(4-) anions are full valence-shell octets, they are highly reactive. Some are stable, some not. The Sn(-IV) complex is an 8e-reductant shorturl.at/InmD6 @natsynth.nature.com

Beautiful molecules and indeed cool chemistry! Congrats to all involved!

Congrats Isra, well deserved!

Normalising huge substrate scopes worsens wellbeing And holds up the pace of scientific progress

Two independent analyses show that when looking at the size of substrate scopes published in Organic Letters, or in Organic Letters and JACS combined, the average number of examples reported has more than doubled in the past decade.
