Check out our work on the isolation of elusive f-element diphosphene (HPPH) complexes, the first heavier Group 15 analogue of f-element diazenes (HNNH) that were first reported over thirty years ago. @manchester.ac.uk www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@john-seed.bsky.social collected some gorgeous magnetic data - as always! In fact the Tb(III) data suggested a well-isolated paramagnetic pseudo-doublet spin-orbit ground state which has led to some spin-off work so stay tuned!

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!

Great collaboration between the Universities of Manchester and Marburg to bring uranium and antimony together. @john-seed.bsky.social‬, ‪@unimarburg.bsky.social‬, Special congratulations to Rebecca, Kevin and Nick for their synthetic work. rdcu.be/eBcJt

There are no examples of uranium-antimony multiple bonds, even under spectroscopic scenarios. Until now. Check out our work on U-Sb bonds spanning single, double, and pseudo-triple bonding interactions. Out now in @natcomms.nature.com ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Complexes containing nobelium were created as part of new research into the chemistry of the actinide series.

Delighted to have received the @manchester.ac.uk Chemistry department Outstanding Achievement Award for our work on exalted diamagnetism in trithorium superatoms. Hugely grateful to the team of people who contributed to this work and all those who supported yesterday during the award symposium 😃

Jek leads our latest preprint in @chemrxiv.bsky.social with the @nfchilton.bsky.social group on a mixed axial dysprosium amide-cyclopentadienyl single-molecule magnet (SMMs). We find similar high-temperature soft hysteretic properties to dysprosium bis(amide) SMMs. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Delighted to announce the publication of our work in @nature.com, in collaboration with @nfchilton.bsky.social's group, on a dysprosium compound with magnetic memory at 100 Kelvin. Congrats to all authors inc. @gemmagransbury.bsky.social, @jeffjefftyjeff.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Breaking bonds at tin(II)! We've had a look at the spectrum of bond addition reactions, from reductive (Be-Be) to oxidative (Cl-Cl), and everything in between (B-B, B-H, H-H) @angewandtechemie.bsky.social @maxdietz.bsky.social @amelia-swarbrook.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/anie...

The first superatoms made using actinides ever created are adding a new dimension to one of the strangest chemical phenomena. #ChemSky

Years in the making – 3-centre-1-electron trithorium metal-metal bonding. Out now in @natchem.nature.com ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are excited to share praseodymium 5+! Finally in print! A new PR for Pr! rdcu.be/egHf6

Berkelium - wow. Really impressive chemistry!

Fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship! Come and work on alkaline earth metal organometallic chemistry and metal-metal bonding @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social! More details via the link: www.imperial.ac.uk/chemistry/po...

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
