Not One, But Two: Papers Featuring Felipe Fantuzzi Appear in Chemical Science's Most Popular 2023 Inorganic Chemistry Collection
KAIROS is thrilled to announce that Felipe Fantuzzi has authored two influential papers that have been included in Chemical Science’s Most Popular 2023 Inorganic Chemistry Articles collection. This specially curated collection showcases last year’s significant contributions to the fields of main group, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry.
The first paper, titled Catalyst-free diboration and silaboration of alkenes and alkynes using bis(9-heterofluorenyl)s, represents a collaborative effort with Matthias Wagner from Goethe Universität Frankfurt. Notably, the research team also included Jannik Gilmer, a former visiting PhD student in Felipe’s group at the University of Kent and a KAIROS alumnus, showcasing the strong academic lineage and collaborative spirit fostered within KAIROS.
The second paper, Nickel boryl complexes and nickel-catalyzed alkyne borylation, sees Felipe as the first author, in collaboration with renowned experts Todd Marder and Udo Radius from the University of Wuerzburg. The experimental work, carried out by Lukas Tendera, explores the frontiers of nickel-catalyzed processes, expanding the toolkit for synthesising borylated organic compounds, which are pivotal in the development of organic electronic devices and pharmaceutical agents.
Both papers not only advance the scientific understanding and applications of inorganic and organometallic chemistry but also reinforce the role of international collaboration in driving innovation. These studies underscore KAIROS’s commitment to contributing cutting-edge research to the global scientific community.
We invite the KAIROS community and the public to access these articles for free as part of the Chemical Science collection. These works stand as a testament to the creative and impactful research being conducted under the KAIROS umbrella, further establishing our footprint in the scientific world.
