Al(II) Transfer Harnessing a Well-Defined Cadmium Precursor Low-valent aluminum chemistry continues to expand the boundaries of main-group reactivity, yet the selective generation and transfer of Al(II) fragments remain underexplored. Controlled Al(II) transfe...

Excited to share that our Al/Cd platforms serve as tamed Al(II) surrogates. Thanks a lot to @lablichtenberg.bsky.social (&FW) for the great collaboration and effort on EPR! Read all about it in @chemicalscience.rsc.org 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬⬇️ #MyFirstChemSci @unikassel.bsky.social

Untapped catalytic ability of aluminium has been unlocked Could the discovery of a catalyst in which aluminium shifts easily between oxidation states be the beginning of the end for costly transition-metal catalysts?

Ambiphilic Reactivity and Switchable Methyl Transfer at a T-Shaped Bi(NNN) Complex Enabled by a Redox-Active Pincer Ligand We report the transition-metal-like reactivity of a geometrically constrained, ambiphilic bismuth(III) trisamide. Planarization of the Bi(III) center unlocks Bi–C bond formation when reacted with mild...

📣Our new paper is out in @jacs.acspublications.org (our very first one)!🥳

We show how a redox-active ligand unlocks C–X bond scission at an ambiphilic T-shaped Bi(III) compound. A big collaborative effort with my brilliant colleagues from Berlin.

What happens when you put 3 redox-active metal centers together? 🧪

@lapluhp.bsky.social demonstrates the simultaneous, cooperative activation of an alkene and dihydrogen in a single complex 🤯

Plus, in-depth kinetic analyses and catalysis. Beautiful work Till!
