The chemistry of actinide (An) and rare-earth metal (Ln and group 3) complexes featuring
multiple bonding interactions with main-group fragments has witnessed an enormous …

The chemistry of actinide-nitrides has witnessed significant advances in the last ten years
with a large focus on uranium and a few breakthroughs with thorium. Following the early …

The structure of and bonding in two base-free terminal actinide imido metallocenes,[η5-1, 2,
4-(Me3C) 3C5H2] 2An═ N (p-tolyl)(An= U (1), Th (1′)) are compared and connected to …

Determining the electronic structure of actinide complexes is intrinsically challenging
because inter-electronic repulsion, crystal field, and spin–orbit coupling effects can be of …

The Lewis base-supported uranium terminal imido metallocene [η5-1, 2, 4-(Me3Si) 3C5H2]
2UN (p-tolyl)(dmap)(1) readily reacts with various small molecules such as internal alkynes …

Terminal uranium nitrides have so far proven impossible to isolate by photolysis of azides.
Here we report the second ever example of an isolated terminal uranium (VI) nitride. We …

The redox chemistry of uranium is dominated by single electron transfer reactions while
single metal four-electron transfers remain unknown in f-element chemistry. Here we show …

Addition of p-tolylNH2 to a toluene solution of [η5-1, 3-(Me3C) 2C5H3] 2UMe2 (1) in the
presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (dmap) yields the Lewis base-supported terminal …

The synthesis and molecular structures of a U (V) neutral terminal oxo complex and a U (V)
sodium uranium nitride contact ion pair are described. The synthesis of the former is …

The reduction of the nitride-bridged diuranium (IV) complex Cs [{U (OSi (OtBu) 3) 3} 2 (μ-N)]
affords the first example of a uranium nitride complex containing uranium in the+ III oxidation …
