A photograph of a corner booth in an exhibition hall. The booth is open on two sides and the other two sides are covered with shelves displaying books. The Royal Society of Chemistry Logo is displayed above the shelves and there are tables and chairs laid out ready for meetings.

Good Morning London Book Fair we are here and we are ready to go

Find us on Stand 7D81

Looking forward to many exciting conversations and great meetings!

Some fantastic news! Julie Macleod has just had her Crystal Violet paper published in Nature Chemistry after a very long wait. It is a novel and simple method for testing for hidden catalysis. Congratulations Julie!

Very cool complex!

A Highly Reduced Magnesium Dicobalt Complex for the Hydrogenation of Tri- and Tetra-Substituted Alkenes The reaction of [K(thf)0.33][Co(η4-cod)2] (E; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with 0.5 equiv of MgCl2 led to the isolation of the magnesium dicobalt complex Mg[Co(η4-cod)2]2 (1). Complex 1 forms a tight ionic complex in the solid state and in toluene solution due to electrostatic interactions between the Mg2+ cation and the [Co(η4-cod)2]− anions. The complex is a successful precatalyst for the hydrogenation of sterically challenging tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes, surpassing the catalytic capabilities of related alkali metal and β-diketiminate magnesium complexes.
