Check out our latest work on Ambient temperature isolation of a monatomic B(0) complex now out in @J_A_C_S ! Will, @VigneshkumarPN2, @YuXiang19910808 @felipefantuzzi @fos_ubco @ubcokanagan #boron #maingroup #radical doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

Aluminum: lightest p-block metal with very low electronegativity. Converting Al(III) to Al(I) in stoichiometric reactions is rare. But now, we've made Al redox catalysis a reality! Check it out @nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Yaaayyyy!!! Our @bruker XRD has been installed. Time to go check those abandoned vials at the back of the glovebox for crystals. @ubcokanagan @fos_ubco

And here it is!!! @VTI_Glovebox #glovebox
