The number of rare earth (RE) starting materials used in synthesis is staggering, ranging
from simple binary metal-halide salts to borohydrides and “designer reagents” such as alkyl …

The development of molecular materials with novel functionality offers promise for
technological innovation. Switchable molecules that incorporate redox‐active components …

Lanthanide/actinide separation is a worldwide challenge for atomic energy and nuclear
waste treatment. Separation of americium (Am), a critical actinide element in the nuclear fuel …

High-valent cerium complexes of alkyl and benzyl ligands are unprecedented due to the
incompatibility of the typically highly oxidizing Ce4+ ion and the reducing alkyl or benzyl …

The study of the redox chemistry of mid‐actinides (U− Pu) has historically relied on cerium
as a model, due to the accessibility of trivalent and tetravalent oxidation states for these ions …

The f block is a comparatively understudied group of elements that find applications in many
areas. Continued development of technologies involving the lanthanides (Ln) and actinides …

Abstract The imidophosphorane ligand,[NPtBu3]−(tBu= tert‐butyl), enables isolation of a
pseudo‐tetrahedral, tetravalent praseodymium complex,[Pr4+ (NPtBu3) 4](1‐Pr), which is …

Herein the synthesis, structural characterization, and magnetic properties of a Pr (IV)
complex [Pr (OSiPh3) 4 (L)](1, L= 4, 4′-dimethoxy-2, 2′-bipyridine) are reported. The …

The concept of oxidation state plays a fundamentally important role in defining the chemistry
of the elements. In the f block of the periodic table, well-known oxidation states in …

Neptunium is an actinide element sourced from anthropogenic production, and, unlike
naturally abundant uranium, its coordination chemistry is not well developed in all …
