Isolation of a Monomeric Bis(pyridylimino) Isoindolide (BPI) Radical Dianion and Further Insights Into Structures of Reduced BPI Compounds This article reports on the isolation of a monomeric compound with a dianionic singly reduced bis(pyridylimino) isoindolide (BPI) ligand and elaborated discussions on the structure of reduced BPIs.

Are you interested in radical #chemistry or redox-active ligands?

New work by @brehergroup.bsky.social about the isolation of a stable radical dianion is now in early view @helvchimacta.bsky.social as part of a special issue dedicated to Prof. Dr. Armido Studer.

Non‐Innocent Ligands as Mediators for Visible‐Light‐Initiated Element–Carbon Bond Homolysis in Main Group Chemistry This minireview discusses the facilitation of E─C bond homolysis of main group compounds with visible light by the coordination of redox non-innocent ligands. Important conceptual coherencies, potent....

New paper now out in Early View @angewandtechemie.bsky.social !

We @brehergroup.bsky.social describe radical #photochemistry of main group #organometallics with visible light. With our article we want to make the described concept accessible to a broader #chemistry community.

Very nice group excursion of the Hinz and Breher lab today! Many thanks to all involved 👍👍👍

Had a wonderful time at #EuCOMC 2025 in Bern! Thank you @evaheviagroup.bsky.social and @albrecht-lab.bsky.social for organizing a really great conference!

Thank you @felixkraemer.bsky.social !

Synthesis and Characterization of Bis(pyridylimino)isoindolide Alkali Metal Complexes in Three Redox States This work reports on the synthesis and characterization of alkali metal complexes of BPI and Me2BPI in reduced oxidation states. CV, EPR and XRD studies revealed detailed information about the unknow...

#TopViewedArticle 👍 We are delighted to share that our work, published in EurJIC @wiley.com, has ranked within the top 10% of most-viewed papers published by the journal in 2023 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ejic...

Reactivity of an ortho‐Phenylene‐bridged Al/P Frustrated Lewis Pair Towards Small Molecules Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) as ambiphilic molecules are prone to activate small molecules and are in the focus of interest for many years. In this paper, we present the first ortho-phenylene bridge...

The first mono ortho-phenylene bridged Al/P FLP was synthesized and characterized. Its reactivity was probed against several small molecules. Thanks to Melina Dianas 👍 doi.org/10.1002/ejic...

Stabilities and Limitations in the Reactivity of Phosphorus Ylide‐Based Aluminum‐ and Gallium‐Carbon Ambiphiles − A Combined Experimental and Computational Approach The unexpected reactivity and stability limits of phosphorus ylide-based aluminum- and gallium-carbon ambiphiles are described. While the previously published t-butyl-substituted compound (2-{AltBu2}...

A detailed study on the reactivity of ambiphilic metallacycles is presented. Thanks to @felixkraemer.bsky.social, @pascalweisenb.bsky.social and @isra-group.bsky.social)! Have a look at the paper 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ejic...

Congrats Nils! :)

Astonishing piece of main group photochemistry. Congrats to the remarkabale results!

Congrats and all the best for your independent career!

Many thanks to @joshabbenseth.bsky.social and Frank Tambornino for highlighting our collaborative study on the organometallic and photochemistry of R2Al(BPI) complexes in „Trendbericht Anorganische Chemie 2025“ 👍👍👍
