A monomeric, heterobimetallic complex with an unsupported Mg−Fe bond (2016)
Journal Article
Birchall, C., Moxey, G. J., McMaster, J., Blake, A. J., Lewis, W., & Kays, D. L. (2017). A monomeric, heterobimetallic complex with an unsupported Mg−Fe bond. Inorganica Chimica Acta, 458, 97-100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ica.2016.12.029

The phosphinimine, trimethylsilyl-substituted BIPM ligand [BIPM = bis(iminophosphorano)methanide] has been used to stabilise CH(Ph2PNSiMe3)2MgFe(η5-C5H5)(CO)2 (1), which is a structurally authenticated complex exhibiting a direct, unsupported bond be...

Probing the use of long lived intra-ligand π-π * excited states for photocatalytic systems: a study of the photophysics and photochemistry of [ReCl(CO)3(dppz-(CH3)2)] (2016)
Journal Article
Summers, P. A., Calladine, J. A., Ibrahim, N., Kusumo, K. P., Clark, C. A., Sun, X., …George, M. W. (2017). Probing the use of long lived intra-ligand π-π * excited states for photocatalytic systems: a study of the photophysics and photochemistry of [ReCl(CO)3(dppz-(CH3)2)]. Polyhedron, 123, 259-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.poly.2016.11.005

We report the excited state photophysics and photochemistry of [ReCl(CO)3(dppz-(CH3)2)] (dppz-(CH3)2 = 11,12-dimethyl-dipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine) in CH3CN using timeresolved infrared (TRIR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Ex... Read More about Probing the use of long lived intra-ligand π-π * excited states for photocatalytic systems: a study of the photophysics and photochemistry of [ReCl(CO)3(dppz-(CH3)2)].

Dynamic nuclear polarisation by thermal mixing: quantum theory and macroscopic simulations (2016)
Journal Article
Karabanov, A., Kwiatkowski, G., Perotto, C. U., Wiśniewski, D., McMaster, J., Lesanovsky, I., & Köckenberger, W. (2016). Dynamic nuclear polarisation by thermal mixing: quantum theory and macroscopic simulations. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 18(43), 30093-30104. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cp04345c

A theory of dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) by thermal mixing is suggested based on purely quantum considerations. A minimal 6-level microscopic model is developed to test the theory and link it to the well known thermodynamic model. Optimal condi...

Emergence of comparable covalency in isostructural cerium(IV)- and uranium(IV)-carbon multiple bonds (2016)
Journal Article
Gregson, M., Lu, E., Tuna, F., McInnes, E. J. L., Hennig, C., Scheinost, A. C., …Liddle, S. T. (2016). Emergence of comparable covalency in isostructural cerium(IV)- and uranium(IV)-carbon multiple bonds. Chemical Science, 7(5), 3286-3297. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6SC00278A

We report comparable levels of covalency in cerium- and uranium-carbon multiple bonds in the isostructural carbene complexes [M(BIPMTMS)(ODipp)2] [M = Ce (1), U (2), Th (3); BIPMTMS = C(PPh2NSiMe3)2; Dipp = C6H3-2,6-Pri2] whereas for M = Th the M=C b...
