Prior to the year 2000, non‐aqueous uranium chemistry mainly involved metallocene and
classical alkyl, amide, or alkoxide compounds as well as established carbene, imido, and …

The presence of covalency in complexes of the 4f and 5f elements has been a source of
intense research and controversy. In addition to academic interest in this debate, there is an …

Owing to the combined advantages of sulfide and oxide solid electrolytes (SEs), that is,
mechanical sinterability and excellent (electro) chemical stability, recently emerging halide …

We report the use of solution and solid-state 31P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy combined with Density Functional Theory calculations to benchmark the …

Covalency in Ln–Cl bonds of O h-LnCl6 x–(x= 3 for Ln= CeIII, NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII; x= 2 for
Ln= CeIV) anions has been investigated, primarily using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption …

Evaluating the nature of chemical bonding for actinide elements represents one of the most
important and long-standing problems in actinide science. We directly address this …

Determining the nature and extent of covalency of early actinide chemical bonding is a
fundamentally important challenge. Recently, X-ray absorption, electron paramagnetic, and …

Actinide chemistry is gaining increased focus in modern research, particularly in the fields of
energy research and molecular magnetism. However, the structure–function and structure …

Halogen bonds are a highly directional class of intermolecular interactions widely employed
in chemistry and chemical biology. This linear interaction is commonly viewed to be …

The fundamental redox chemistry and valence electronic structure of the lanthanides in
molecular complexes and extended solids continues to be a fertile area of research. The …
