In the thematic review dedicated to polyoxometalate (POM) chemistry published in Chemical
Reviews in 1998, no contribution was devoted to theory. This is not surprising because …

The concept of valence and core electrons is familiar to every chemist and underlying, for
example, the ordering of the elements in the periodic table. For many qualitative …

Metal oxide clusters, especially transition-metal polyoxometalates, have been studied for
decades because they provide a rare opportunity to study nanoscale materials with well …

While the d0 transition-metal POMs of Group V (V5+, Nb5+, Ta5+) and Group VI (Mo6+,
W6+) have been known for more than a century, the actinyl peroxide POMs, specifically …

The radioecological relevance of actinide particles 1 did not first become a matter of concern
following the nuclear accidents at Fukushima, Chernobyl, or Three Mile Island. Public and …

Uranyl peroxide clusters containing from 16 to 124 uranyl ions self-assemble in aqueous
solution and exhibit tremendous topological complexity. Most of these clusters are cages …

The Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident brought together compromised irradiated fuel and
large amounts of seawater in a high radiation field. Based on newly acquired …

Zeolites are porous materials that are typically studied using periodic density functional
theory (DFT). In this work we benchmark commonly used density functionals using cluster …

The chemistry of the uranyl ion ([UO2] 2+) has evolved remarkably over the past few years,
with unexpected reactivity observed that challenge our understanding of this ion, and of …

Uranyl organometallic complexes featuring uranium (VI)− carbon single and double bonds
have been obtained from uranyl UO2X2 precursors by avoiding reduction of the metal …
