Adam Slabon retweetet

In collaboration with Prof. Finze's research group (Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg) and Dr. Alexey Maximenko (SOLARIS) Prof. Adam Slabon's @Slabon24 research group has successfully synthesized and comprehensively characterized a new series of anions of the type [M(B₁₁H₁₁)₂]³⁻ (M = Cu, Ag, Au). The nido-[B₁₁H₁₁]⁴⁻ ligand coordinates to copper, silver, and gold stabilizing them in the exceptionally high formal oxidation state +V.
This is the highest oxidation state known to date for these metals. XANES analysis, carried out by Dr. Alexey Maximenko, additionally confirmed the unusually high oxidation state of copper in K₃[Cu(B₁₁H₁₁)₂]·5H₂O.
