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 …

Reduction of dinitrogen (N2) is a major challenge for chemists. Cooperation of multiple
metal centers to break the strong N2 triple bond has been identified as a crucial step in both …

Uranium nitrides play important roles in dinitrogen activation and functionalization and in
chemistry for nuclear fuels, but the synthesis and isolation of the highly reactive uranium (VI) …

Multimetallic cooperativity is believed to play a key role in the cleavage of dinitrogen to
nitrides (N3–), but the mechanism remains ambiguous due to the lack of isolated …

The conversion of C1 feedstock molecules such as CO into commodity chemicals is a
desirable, but challenging, endeavour. When the U (III) complex,[(C5Me5) 2U (O-2, 6-tBu2-4 …

U (IV) cyclometalated complexes have shown rich reactivity, but their low oxidation state
analogues still remain rare. Herein, we report the isolation of [K (2.2. 2-cryptand)][UIII {N …

For the first time, an actinide nitride clusterfullerene, U2N@ Ih (7)-C80, is synthesized and
fully characterized by X-ray single crystallography and multiple spectroscopic methods …

Synthetic studies of bimetallic uranium nitride complexes with the N (SiMe3) 2 ligand have
generated a new nitride complex of U (III), which is highly reactive toward C–H bonds and …

Complexes formed between the heaviest and lightest elements in the periodic table yield the
f-block hydrides, a unique class of compounds with wide-ranging utility and interest, from …

Uranium nitride compounds are important molecular analogues of uranium nitride materials
such as UN and UN2 which are effective catalysts in the Haber–Bosch synthesis of …
