Journal Article
Moxey, G. J., Blake, A. J., Lewis, W., & Kays, D. L. (2015). Alkaline Earth Complexes of a Sterically Demanding Guanidinate Ligand: Alkaline Earth Guanidinate Complexes. European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, 2015(36), 5892-5902. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejic.201501239

The synthesis of the guanidine MesN{C(NCy2)}N(H)Mes (LH; Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2, Cy = cyclohexyl), and its use as a proligand for the synthesis of alkaline earth metal complexes are reported. Described herein are (i) an unusual Hauser base cubane, (ii)... Read More about Alkaline Earth Complexes of a Sterically Demanding Guanidinate Ligand: Alkaline Earth Guanidinate Complexes.

Isolation of Elusive HAsAsH in a Crystalline Diuranium(IV) Complex (2015)
Journal Article
Gardner, B. M., Balázs, G., Scheer, M., Wooles, A. J., Tuna, F., McInnes, E. J., …Liddle, S. T. (2015). Isolation of Elusive HAsAsH in a Crystalline Diuranium(IV) Complex. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 54(50), 15250-15254. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201508600

The HAsAsH molecule has hitherto only been proposed tentatively as a short-lived species generated in electrochemical or microwave-plasma experiments. After two centuries of inconclusive or disproven claims of HAsAsH formation in the condensed phase,... Read More about Isolation of Elusive HAsAsH in a Crystalline Diuranium(IV) Complex.
