The coordination and organometallic chemistry of the f-elements, that is group 3, lanthanide,
and actinide ions, supported by nitrogen ligands, eg amides, imides, and nitrides, has …

The thermostable four-coordinate divalent lanthanide (Ln) bis-amidinate complexes [Ln
(Piso) 2](Ln= Tb, Dy; Piso={(NDipp) 2CtBu}, Dipp= C6H3iPr2-2, 6) were prepared by the …

High-yield syntheses of the lanthanide dinitrogen complexes [(Cp2tttM) 2 (μ-1, 2-N2)](1M,
M= Gd, Tb, Dy; Cpttt= 1, 2, 4-C5 t Bu3H2), in which the [N2] 2–ligands solely adopt the rare …

The formation of isolable monatomic BiI complexes and BiII radical species is challenging
due to the pronounced reducing nature of metallic bismuth. Here, we report a convenient …

Abstract Rare-earth ion (RE 3+) doped materials with upconversion luminescence and
photochromic (PC) effect have received widespread attention, but thermal quenching (TQ) at …

The design of molecular magnets has progressed greatly by taking advantage of the ability
to impart successive perturbations and control vibronic transitions in 4f n systems through …

Metal–metal bonded species involving lanthanides are intriguing but rare. The recently
reported salt metathesis reaction of an Al anion and SmI2 (thf) 2 yields novel heterometallic …

We present hybrid multiconfiguration density coherence functional theory (HMC-DCFT), and
we optimize a density coherence functional by parametrization against a diverse data set of …

A rare organometallic yttrium bismuth cluster complex with a heterometallocubane structure
at the core was isolated and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and UV …

Ancillary ligand scaffolds that sufficiently stabilize a metal ion to allow its coordination to an
open-shell ligand are scarce, yet their development is essential for next-generation spin …
