Sensing the Spin of an Individual Ce Adatom

The magnetic moment of rare earth elements originates from electrons in the partially filled 4f orbitals. Accessing this moment electrically by scanning tunneling spectroscopy is hampered by shielding of outerlying orbitals. Here, we show that we can detec ...

Small Molecule Activation by Multimetallic Uranium Complexes

Marta Falcone

The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...

Crystalline and correlated phases in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides

Diego José Pasquier

This thesis is dedicated to the study of various aspects of the electronic structure of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of chemical composition MX

The Periodic Table and Kinetics?

André Merbach, Lothar Helm

Mendeleev in his first publication ordered the chemical elements following an apparent periodicity of properties such as atomic volume and valence. The reactivity of the elements was only studied systematically many years later. To illustrate the systemati ...

Crystal field, ligand field, and interorbital effects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides across the periodic table

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in two polymorphs, referred to as 1T and 1H, depending on the coordination sphere of the transition metal atom. The broken octahedral and trigonal prismatic symmetries lead to different cry ...

Tuning the structure, reactivity and magnetic communication of nitride-bridged uranium complexes with the ancillary ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Alberto Fabrizio, Luciano Barluzzi

Molecular uranium nitride complexes were prepared to relate their small molecule reactivity to the nature of the U & xe001;N & xe001;U bonding imposed by the supporting ligand. The U4+-U4+ nitride complexes, [NBu4][{(((BuO)-Bu-t)(3)SiO)(3)U}(2)(mu-N)], [NB ...

The atomic-resolution crystal structure of activated [Fe]-hydrogenase

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

Hydrogenases are promising templates for constructing new H-2-based catalysts. [Fe]-hydrogenase, which features an ironguanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, catalyses a reversible hydride transfer from H-2 to methenyl-tetrahydromethanopterin (methenyl-H4MPT+, ...

Molecular Complex of Tb in the +4 Oxidation State

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic

Lanthanides (Ln) usually occur in the +3, or more recently the +2, oxidation states. The only example of an isolated molecular Ln(4+) so far remains Ce4+. Here we show that the +4 oxidation state is also accessible in a molecular compound of terbium as dem ...

Features of proteolytic properties of tetraphenylporphyrin complex with lanthanide group metals

Demetallation of metalloporphyrin molecules is one of the essential degradation reactions in photosynthesis. The effect of metalloporphyrin nature on removal of central metals from tetraphenylporphyrin complexes based on lanthanide group metals (Dy, Er, Lu ...

Reduction of a Cerium(III) Siloxide Complex To Afford a Quadruple-Decker Arene-Bridged Cerium(II) Sandwich

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Rory Patrick Kelly

Organometallic multi-decker sandwich complexes containing f-elements remain rare, despite their attractive magnetic and electronic properties. The reduction of the Ce-III siloxide complex, [KCeL4] (1; L = OSi(OtBu)(3)), with excess potassium in a THF/tolue ...
