Y'all wanted some EChem? Check out our contribution in InorgChem @acs.org towards tetravalent lanthanides, with @conradgoodwin.bsky.social, @john-seed.bsky.social, in collaboration with @gen-chem.bsky.social + @peremiro.bsky.social for calculations!
Synthesis, Redox Chemistry, and Electronic Structures of Bis-di(silylamido)silane f-Element Complexes
We report the synthesis and characterization of pseudo-tetrahedral f-element complexes bearing the sterically demanding bidentate di(silylamido)silane ligand, {Me2Si(NSiiPr3)2}2– (Me2SiN†N†). Two equi...

We know you have all been curious about organometallic complexes after uranium, so we wrote a handy review discussing the challenges and advancements published in
@natrevchem.nature.com! This was a massive undertaking along with Ross + Cameron + @conradgoodwin.bsky.social.

Uranium(III) and Uranium(IV) meta-Terphenylthiolate Complexes
We report the synthesis and characterization of crystalline m-terphenylthiolate uranium complexes supported by the bulky ligand system, SAriPr6 (SAriPr6 = {SC6H3-2,6-(Tripp)2}; Tripp = 2,4,6-iPr-C6H2)...
