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 ...

Non-crystalline tetravalent uranium species in the subsurface: formation and stability

Luca Loreggian

Uranium (U) contamination of ground and surface waters poses an acute hazard on the ecosystem and human health. Since the discovery of microbial U(VI) reduction, U bioremediation has been explored as a promising and cost-effective method compared to tradit ...

Small molecule activation by multimetallic uranium complexes supported by siloxide ligands

Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone, Luciano Barluzzi

The synthesis and reactivity of uranium compounds supported by the tris-tert-butoxysiloxide ligand is surveyed. The multiple binding modes of the tert-butoxysiloxide ligand have proven very well suited to stabilize highly reactive homo- and heteropolymetal ...

Uranium nitride complexes are of high interest because of their ability to effect dinitrogen reduction and functionalization and to promote magnetic communication, but studies of their properties and reactivity remain rare. Here we have prepared in 73% yie ...

Microbial communities associated with uranium in-situ recovery mining process are related to acid mine drainage assemblages

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Thomas Coral

A large fraction (47%) of the world's uranium is mined by a technique called “In Situ Recovery” (ISR). This mining technique involves the injection of a leaching fluid (acidic or alkaline) into a uranium-bearing aquifer and the pumping of the resulting sol ...

Four-electron Reduction and Functionalization of N₂ by a Uranium(III) Bridging Nitride

Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone

N2 is a cheap and widely available but very unreactive molecule. Notably, the only industrial process for the conversion of dinitrogen is the Haber-Bosch process to form ammonia, but under very harsh conditions (high temperature and pressure). Here, we rev ...

The effect of iron binding on uranyl(V) stability

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Radmila Faizova

Here we report the effect of UO2+⋯Fe2+ cation–cation interactions on the redox properties of uranyl(V) complexes and on their stability with respect to proton induced disproportionation. The tripodal heptadentate Schiff base trensal3− ligand allowed the sy ...

Molecular nitrogen (N-2) is cheap and widely available, but its unreactive nature is a challenge when attempting to functionalize it under mild conditions with other widely available substrates (such as carbon monoxide, CO) to produce value-added compounds ...

A versatile route to homo- and hetero-bimetallic 5f–5f and 3d–5f complexes supported by a redox active ligand framework

Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez, Davide Toniolo

The salt-elimination reaction of the complex [Na2U(bis-salophen)] with metal halides provides an entry to the synthesis of well-defined homobimetallic uranium–uranium and rare heterobimetallic uranium–cobalt and uranium–nickel complexes supported by a redo ...

Historically, it is believed that crystalline uraninite, produced via the abiotic reduction of hexavalent uranium (U-(VI)) is the dominant reduced U species formed in low-temperature uranium roll-front ore deposits. Here we show that non-crystalline U-(IV) ...
