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...

Like f-elements in unusual oxidation states?

Please look at this 4-year #PhD position between Manchester and Peking University to isolate formally divalent molecules and determine their electronic structures with advanced X-ray spectroscopic techniques.

Happy to share Ben’s first full research article from his time in the group: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Challenging synthesis and some interesting new main group architectures making an appearance for the first time on an f-element.

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)...

Happy to announce two funded #PhD studentships for aspiring synthetic chemists to do some f-element molecule making.

(1) High oxidation states; (2) Tuneable electronic structures for qubits.

See: www.capgoodwin.com/pages/positi... for details, and below for both FindAPhD links.

Working on my X-it at the moment and shifting over here. The #Chemistry community is growing at a solid clip, and I look forward to seeing more new folks!

It’s fitting that my first post here includes some glorious crystals and #felement colours. Courtesy of 2nd yr PhD researcher Cameron Deakin.
