Our latest paper on divalent rare earth chemistry is up on @chemicalscience.rsc.org! Electrochemical measurements of the RE(3+/2+) couple in neutral divalent anilide complexes weren't sufficiently negative to reduce 4,4′-bipyridine or pyridine – yet several do! See: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

Our latest paper in collaboration with the Liddle, @nfchilton.bsky.social and @conradgoodwin.bsky.social groups investigating uranium ketimides is now published in Inorganic Chemistry, with @john-seed.bsky.social and other Manchester and ANU Chemistry peeps: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Proud of first year PhD student Iulia for winning a poster prize at the 59th @rsc.org @esr-group.bsky.social national meeting in Colchester. Iulia presented some of her work characterising the electronic structures of open-shell lanthanocenes and actinocenes. #EPR #RealTimeChem

Excited to show our latest preprint “Uranocenium – The bis-[8]annulene Uranium Cation”. Uranocene is oxidised to uranocenium cation both chemically, and electrochemically, with reversibility comparable to ferrocene. This derives from an unusual electronic structure. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....

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. #Chemistry #Actinides #f-elements
