Conspectus Heterometallic clusters with M–M bonds have significantly interested chemists
because of their attractive structures and synergistic effects in small-molecule activation and …

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 direct use of dinitrogen (N2) as a building block for the synthesis of NN-containing
organic compounds is of fundamental interest and practical importance but has remained a …

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 …

Dinitrogen cleavage provides an attractive but poorly studied route to the assembly of
multimetallic nitride clusters. Here, we show that the monoelectron reduction of the …

Herein, we report the redox reactivity of a multimetallic uranium complex supported by
triphenylsiloxide (− OSiPh3) ligands, where we show that low valent synthons can be …

ABSTRACT The Haber–Bosch process produces ammonia (NH3) from dinitrogen (N2) and
dihydrogen (H2), but requires high temperature and pressure. Before iron-based catalysts …

The study of small-molecule activation by f-block elements still lags far behind that of
transition metals. Although a few uranium complexes have been reported to activate …

Dinitrogen (N2) activation and functionalization through N–N bond cleavage and N–C bond
formation are of great interest and importance but remain highly challenging. We report here …

Dinitrogen (N 2) is the major component of the atmosphere and many factors bring about
dinitrogen inertness with low reactivity. Dinitrogen activation on metal complexes and …
