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 …

The synthesis, structure elucidation, and spectroscopic measurements of a myriad of new, f-
element borates has revealed the unusual effects that this electron-rich oxoanion has on the …

A new SHG material, namely, Pb2 (BO3)(NO3), which contains parallel π‐conjugated nitrate
and borate anions, was obtained through a facile hydrothermal reaction by using Pb (NO3) 2 …

Over the past four decades, the number of inorganic oxide and oxy-salt phases containing
stoichiometric quantities of hexavalent uranium has increased exponentially from a few …

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 …

Crystalline coordination complexes of actinides, especially in atypical oxidation states, are
not only fundamentally important for expanding the notably limited knowledge on the …

Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) contains transuranic and lanthanide species, which are sometimes
recovered and repurposed. One particularly problematic fission product, 99TcO4–, hampers …

Neodymium is typically considered the best surrogate for trivalent americium and can be
used to identify Am3+ containing materials that are likely to form. We have explored the …

Eine Frage der Größe: Drastische Unterschiede in der Reaktivität von Pu III‐und Am III‐
Zentren treten in geschmolzener Borsäure auf. Die resultierenden Komplexe haben …

A new series of uranium coordination polymers have been hydrothermally synthesized by
using 4, 4′-oxidiphthalic acid (H4L) in the presence of N-bearing species, namely,(H2dpa) …
