Soft magnetic hysteresis in a dysprosium amide–alkene complex up to 100 kelvin - Nature
A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

Uranium-stibinidiide, -stibinidene, and -stibido multiple bonds and uranium-nitride formation from multimetallic diuranium-distibene-mediated dinitrogen cleavage - Nature Communications
Although uranium-nitrogen multiple bonding is well developed, there are far fewer uranium-phosphorus and -arsenic multiple bonds, and none for antimony, even in spectroscopic scenarios. Here, the auth...

Alkaline earth metals: heterometallic bonding
The alkaline earth metals are notorious for their tendency to form ionic compounds of their dications. In recent years, however, chemists have found ways to kinetically skirt around the edges of these...

Arene Activation by Calcium Hydride/Zinc Amide Equilibration
The β-diketiminato calcium hydride, [(BDI)CaH]2 (BDI = HC{(Me)CNDipp}2, where Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3), reacts with [Zn{N(SiMe3)2}2] and [Zn(TMP)2] (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide) to provide labile...

Linear Open-Shell 3d-Metal Silylamides – A Versatile Tool in Coordination Chemistry
Linear 3d-metal complexes with open-shell metal ions have fascinated coordination chemists for decades. Originally the focus lied on metal(II) species, yet the synthetic possibilities to acquire their...
