Expanding metallaborane chemistry: an octahedral BH6 moiety supported through M-H-B bridges (2004)
Journal Article
McGrady, G., Guilera, G., Steed, J., & Kaltsoyannis, N. (2004). Expanding metallaborane chemistry: an octahedral BH6 moiety supported through M-H-B bridges. New Journal of Chemistry, 28(4), 444-446

The X-ray crystal structure of the complex [(triphos)Fe(mu,eta(4):eta(4)-BH6)Fe(triphos)](+) in conjunction with spectroscopic data reveals a central unit formally described as BH63-; DFT calculations show why this ligand is stable for iron but not f...

Slow anion exchange, conformational equilibria, and fluorescent sensing in venus flytrap aminopyridinium-based anion hosts (2003)
Journal Article
Wallace, K., Belcher, W., Turner, D., Syed, K., & Steed, J. (2003). Slow anion exchange, conformational equilibria, and fluorescent sensing in venus flytrap aminopyridinium-based anion hosts. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 125(32), 9699-9715. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja034921w

The synthesis, anion binding, and conformational properties of a series of 3-aminopyridinium-based, tripodal, tricationic hosts for anions are described. Slow anion and conformational exchange on the 1H NMR time scale at low temperature, coupled with...

Should solid-state molecular packing have to obey the rules of crystallographic symmetry? (2003)
Journal Article
Steed, J. (2003). Should solid-state molecular packing have to obey the rules of crystallographic symmetry?. CrystEngComm, 5(32), 169-179. https://doi.org/10.1039/b304631a

About 8% of crystal structures contain more than one independent molecule or formula unit; the number being denoted by the parameter Z. To most chemists and crystallographers such structures are nothing but a pain in the scientific rear! The crystall...
