The primary goal of this review is to present a clear chemical perspective of borates in order
to stimulate and facilitate the discovery of new borate-based optical materials. These …

Located at the foot of the periodic table, uranium is a relatively underexplored element
possessing rich chemistry. In addition to its high relevance to nuclear power, uranium shows …

The combination of high atomic number and high oxidation state in UVI materials gives rise
to both high X‐ray attenuation efficiency and intense green luminescence originating from …

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are of great importance in laser science and technology,
as they can expand the wavelength range provided by common laser sources. Few NLO …

The first bismuth selenite fluoride, BiFSeO3, was obtained by aliovalent substitution of 2D
BiOIO3. Its structure features a 3D network composed of 1D [BiF] 2+ chains interconnected …

The reactions of LnCl3 with molten boric acid result in the formation of Ln [B4O6 (OH)
2Cl](Ln= La–Nd), Ln4 [B18O25 (OH) 13Cl3](Ln= Sm, Eu), or Ln [B6O9 (OH) 3](Ln= Y, Eu …

Although the transition d-or 4f-block elements are the most used metals for the construction
of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), actinide cations were also involved in the elaboration …

We present a depleted uranium-based metal organic framework, UO2 (C8H3O6N)· DMF,
that exhibits highly sensitive and selective detection towards Fe3+ ions in aqueous media …

We herein present a rarely seen (3, 4)-connected non-interpenetrated anionic uranium-
organic framework with tbo topology (FJI–H-U1), which is constructed from two kinds of …

The use of molten boric acid as a reactive flux for synthesizing actinide borates has been
developed in the past two years providing access to a remarkable array of exotic materials …
