P4 REDUCTION generally results in multi-nuclear Zintl anions: P8(2-), P4(2-) or P7(3-). Reaction with a soluble Mg(0) complex gave full reduction to P(3-). Latter anion serves as a triple base, a three-fold nucleophile or 3e-reducing agent. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10

🎉🎉 Big Congrats to Joey Zurakowski who defended his PhD yesterday in fine style! Joey co-authored 26 papers during his time in the group (with more to come)! He’s off to work with @levinchem.bsky.social in the Fall and we can’t wait to hear about his future accomplishments! 🔥🔥

Nice to see our work with @crimmingroup.bsky.social highlighted by Chemistry Views and picking up HOT 🔥🔥 status along the way!

Pierre Poilievre is out. The CBC is still standing. Facts matter. Public media matters. Thanks to everyone who voted to protect Canada’s voice. #SaveTheCBC #CBCForever #PoilievreExposed #CdnPoli

It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting. But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy. How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?

Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

CAUT advises no non-essential travel to the US. #unbeliveable
