Groundbreaking Work on Main-Group Dimers Among Top 10% Most Downloaded Papers
We are thrilled to announce that research conducted by the KAIROS group, coordinated by Felipe Fantuzzi, has achieved a significant milestone. Published in the Journal of Computational Chemistry, the paper titled “Structure and Bonding of Proximity-Enforced Main-Group Dimers Stabilized by a Rigid Naphthyridine Diimine Ligand” has ranked within the top 10% of most downloaded papers.
In this work, which is part of a special issue honouring the 75th birthday of Gernot Frenking, Felipe and his team computationally investigate the electronic, structural, energetic, and bonding features of proximity-enforced group 13–15 homodimers stabilised by a rigid expanded pincer ligand based on the 1,8-naphthyridine (napy) core. The findings demonstrate the versatility of the redox-active naphthyridine diimine (NDI) ligand in enabling a wide variety of structural motifs and element-element interaction modes, showcasing potential applications in main-group chemistry.
This achievement is a testament to the dedication and quality of research conducted by the KAIROS group. Congratulations to Felipe and the entire KAIROS group on this outstanding accomplishment! We look forward to seeing more groundbreaking research from the team in the future.
