Abstract
When catalytic reactions are interfered with by radiation sources, thorium clusters are promising as potential catalysts due to their superior radiation resistance. However, there is currently very little research on the design synthesis and catalytic application of radiation-stable thorium clusters. In this work, we have elaborately engineered and fabricated three high-nuclear thorium cluster catalysts denoted as Th12L3-MA12, Th12L3-MA6-BF6, and Th12L3-Fcc12, which did not undergo any significant alterations in their molecular structures and compositions after irradiation with 690 kGy γ-rays. We systematically investigated the photocatalytic/thermocatalytic properties of these radiation-resistant thorium clusters for the first time and found that γ-rays could not alter their catalytic activities. In addition, it was found that ligand engineering could modulate the catalytic activity of thorium clusters, thus expanding the range of catalytic applications of thorium clusters, including reduction reactions (nitroarene reduction) and some oxidation reactions (N-heterocyclic oxidative dehydrogenation and diphenylmethane oxidation). Meanwhile, all of these organic transformation reactions achieved a >80% conversion and nearly 100% product selectivity. Radiation experiments combined with DFT calculations showed that the synergistic catalysis of thorium-oxo core and ligands led to the generation of specific active species (H+, O2•-, or tBuO/tBuOO•) and activation of substrate molecules, thus achieving superior catalytic performance. This work is not only the first to develop radiation-resistant thorium cluster catalysts to perform efficient redox reactions but also provides design ideas for the construction of high-nuclearity thorium clusters under mild conditions.

Abstract
Isolating isostructural compounds of tetravalent metals MIV (Zr, Hf, Ce, Th, U, Pu, Np) improves our understanding of metal hydrolysis and coordination behavior across the periodic table. These metals form polynuclear clusters typified by the hexamer [MIV6O4(OH)4]12+. Exploiting the ammonium MIV-sulfate (CeIV, ThIV, and UIV) phase space targeting rapid crystallization, we isolate the common hexamer [MIV6(OH)4(O)4]12+ but with different numbers of capping sulfates and water molecules for CeIV, ThIV, and UIV. These phases allowed a direct comparison of bonding trends across the series. Upon cocrystallization with the hexamers, higher complex structures can be identified. Thorium features assemblies with monomer-linked hexamer chains. Uranium features assemblies with sulfate-bridged hexamers and the supramolecular assembly of 14 hexamers into the U84, [U6(OH)4(O)4)14(SO4)120(H2O)42]72-. Last, cerium showcases the isolation from monomers to the Ce62, [Ce62(OH)30(O)58(SO4)71(H2O)33.25]41-. Furthermore, small-angle X-ray scattering (room temperature) shows ammonium-induced cluster assembly for CeIV but minimal reactivity for UIV and ThIV. In this study, because the phases crystallized at elevated temperature demonstrates favorable cluster assembly, these solution phase results were surprising and suggest some other characteristics such as Ce's facile redox behavior, contributes to its solution-phase speciation.

Abstract
Structural exploration and functional application of thorium clusters are still very rare on account of their difficult synthesis caused by the susceptible hydrolysis of thorium element. In this work, we elaborately designed and constructed four stable thorium clusters modified with different functionalized capping ligands, Th6-MA, Th6-BEN, Th6-C8A, and Th6-Fcc, which possessed nearly the same hexanuclear thorium-oxo core but different capabilities in light absorption and charge separation. Consequently, for the first time, these new thorium clusters were treated as model catalysts to systematically investigate the light-induced oxidative coupling reaction of benzylamine and thermodriven oxidation of aniline, achieving >90% product selectivity and approximately 100% conversion, respectively. Concurrently, we found that thorium clusters modified by switchable functional ligands can effectively modulate the selectivity and conversion of catalytic reaction products. Moreover, catalytic characterization and density functional theory calculations consistently indicated that these thorium clusters can activate O2/H2O2 to generate active intermediates O2·-/HOO· and then improved the conversion of amines efficiently. Significantly, this work represents the first report of stable thorium clusters applied to photo/thermotriggered catalytic reactions and puts forward a new design avenue for the construction of more efficient thorium cluster catalysts.

Abstract
We report on the discovery of the first two examples of cationic palladium(II)‐oxo clusters (POCs) containing f‐metal ions, [PdII6O12M8{(CH3)2AsO2}16(H2O)8]4+ (M=CeIV, ThIV), and their physicochemical characterization in the solid state, in solution and in the gas phase. The molecular structure of the two novel POCs comprises an octahedral {Pd6O12}12− core that is capped by eight MIV ions, resulting in a cationic, cubic assembly {Pd6O12MIV8}20+, which is coordinated by a total of 16 terminal dimethylarsinate and eight water ligands, resulting in the mixed PdII‐CeIV/ThIV oxo‐clusters [PdII6O12M8{(CH3)2AsO2}16(H2O)8]4+ (M=Ce, Pd6Ce8; Th, Pd6Th8). We have also studied the formation of host‐guest inclusion complexes of Pd6Ce8 and Pd6Th8 with anionic 4‐sulfocalix[n]arenes (n=4, 6, 8), resulting in the first examples of discrete, enthalpically‐driven supramolecular assemblies between large metal‐oxo clusters and calixarene‐based macrocycles. The POCs were also found to be useful as pre‐catalysts for electrocatalytic CO2‐reduction and HCOOH‐oxidation.

Abstract
A new hexanuclear plutonium cluster has been stabilized in aqueous media with acetate ligands. To probe the formation of such a complex structure, visible-near infrared (vis-NIR) absorption spectroscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) were combined. The presence of Pu6O4(OH)4(CH3COO)12 species in solution was first detected by vis-NIR and EXAFS spectroscopy. To confirm unambiguously this structure, EXAFS spectra were simulated from ab initio calculations. Debye-Waller factors and structural parameters were derived from DFT calculations. A large number of 5f electrons were treated as valence or core electrons using small- and large-core relativistic effective pseudopotentials. It is possible to reproduce accurately the EXAFS spectrum of the octahedral hexamer cluster at both levels of calculations. Further DFT and EXAFS calculations were performed on clusters of lower or higher nuclearities and of different geometries using the 5f-core approximation. The result shows that trimer, tetramer, flat hexamer, and even 16-mer clusters exhibit different EXAFS patterns and confirm the very specific octahedral hexanuclear EXAFS signature.

Abstract
Superatoms are nanometer-sized molecules or particles that form ordered lattices, mimicking their atomic counterparts. Hierarchical assembly of superatoms gives rise to emergent properties in lattices of quantum dots, p-block clusters, and fullerenes. Here, we introduce a family of uranium-oxysulfate cluster anions whose hierarchical assembly in water is controlled by two parameters: acidity and the lanthanide or transition-metal countercation. In acid, larger LnIII (Ln = La-Ho) link hexamer (U6) oxoclusters into body-centered cubic frameworks, while smaller LnIII (Ln = Er-Lu and Y) promote linking of 14 U6 clusters into hollow superclusters (U84 superatoms). U84 assembles into superlattices including cubic-closest packed, body-centered cubic, and interpenetrating networks, bridged by interstitial countercations and U6 clusters. Divalent transition metals (TM = MnII and ZnII) charge-balance and promote the fusion of 10 U6 and 10 U monomers into a wheel-shaped cluster (U70). Dissolution of U70 in organic media reveals (by small-angle X-ray scattering) that differing supramolecular assemblies are accessed, controlled by TMII-linking of U70 clusters. Magnetic measurements of these assemblies reveal Curie-Weiss behavior at high temperatures, without pairing of the 5f2-electrons down to 2 K.

Abstract
We report the structural properties of ultra-small ThO2 and UO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which were synthesized without strong binding surface ligands by employing a covalent organic framework (COF-5) as an inert template. The resultant NPs were used to observe how structural properties are affected by decreasing grain size within bulk actinide oxides, which has implications for understanding the behavior of nuclear fuel materials. Through a comprehensive characterization strategy, we gain insight regarding how structure at the NP surface differs from the interior. Characterization using electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering indicates that growth of the ThO2 and UO2 NPs was confined by the pores of the COF template, resulting in sub-3 nm particles. X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy results indicate that the NPs are best described as ThO2 and UO2 materials with unpassivated surfaces. The surface layers of these particles compensate for high surface energy by exhibiting a broader distribution of Th-O and U-O bond distances despite retaining average bond lengths that are characteristic of bulk ThO2 and UO2. The combined synthesis and physical characterization efforts provide a detailed picture of actinide oxide structure at the nanoscale, which remains highly underexplored compared to transition metal counterparts.

Abstract
Herein we report the assembly of large uranium(IV) clusters with novel nuclearities and/or shapes from the controlled hydrolysis of UCl4 in organic solution and in the presence of the benzoate ligands. {U6 }, {U13 }, {U16 }, {U24 }, {U38 } oxo and oxo/hydroxo clusters were isolated and crystallographically characterized. These structural snapshots indicate that larger clusters are slowly built from the condensation of octahedral {U6 } building blocks. The uranium/benzoate ligand ratio, the reaction temperature and the presence of base play an important role in determining the structure of the final assembly. Moreover, the isolation of different size cluster {U6 } (few hours), {U16 } (3 days), {U24 } (21 days) from the same solution in a chosen set of conditions shows that the assembly of uranium oxo clusters in hydrolytic conditions is time dependent.

Abstract
A new strategy for the synthesis of large poly-oxo clusters bearing 38 tetravalent uranium atoms {U38} has been developed by controlling the water release from the esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The molecular entity [U38O56Cl40(H2O)2(ipa)20]·(ipa) x (ipa = isopropanol) was crystallized from the solvothermal reaction of a mixture of UCl4 and benzoic acid in isopropanol at temperature ranging from 70 to 130 °C. Its crystal structure reveals the molecular assembly of the UO2 fluorite-like inner core {U14} with oxo groups bridging the uranium centers. The {U14} core is further surrounded by six tetrameric sub-units of {U4} to form the {U38} cluster. Its surface is decorated by either bridging- and terminal chloride anions or terminal isopropanol molecules. Another synthesis using the same reactant mixture at room temperature resulted in the crystallization of a discrete dinuclear complex [U2Cl4(bz)4(ipa)4]·(ipa)0.5 (bz = benzoate), in which each uranium center is coordinated by two chlorine atoms, four oxygen atoms from carboxylate groups and two additional oxygen atoms from isopropanol. The slow production of water released from the esterification of isopropanol allows the formation of the giant cluster with oxo bridges linking the uranium atoms at a temperature above 70 °C, whereas no such oxo groups are present in the dinuclear complex formed at room temperature. The kinetics of {U38} crystallization as well as the ester formation are analyzed and discussed. SAXS experiments indicate that the {U38} species are not dominant in the supernatant, but hexanuclear entities which are closely related to the [U6O8] type are formed.

Abstract
The exploration of phase formation in the f-element-bearing iodate selenate system has resulted in 14 novel rare-earth-containing iodate selenates, Ln(IO3)(SeO4) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd; LnISeO-1), Ln(IO3)(SeO4)(H2O) (Ln = Sm, Eu; LnISeO-2), and Ln(IO3)(SeO4)(H2O)2·H2O (Ln = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y; LnISeO-3), as well as two new thorium iodate selenates, Th(OH)(IO3)(SeO4)(H2O) (ThISeO-1) and Th(IO3)2(SeO4) (ThISeO-2). LnISeO-3 and ThISeO-2 crystallize in the chiral space group P212121, while LnISeO-1, LnISeO-2, and ThISeO-1 crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c. The numbers of both coordinating and hydrating water molecules crystallized in LnISeO-1, LnISeO-2, and LnISeO-3 increase along these three series, in line with the increasingly negative values of hydration enthalpies of heavier trivalent lanthanide ions. Such a systematic change in compositions, especially the first coordination sphere of Ln, further induces structural rearrangements, including coordination number and dimensional reductions. More specifically, the structures of LnISeO-1, LnISeO-2, and LnISeO-3 have undergone transitions from 2D Ln-oxo layers with 10-coordinate Ln centers to 1D Ln-oxo chains with 9-coordinate Ln centers and then to 0D Ln-oxo monomers with 8-coordinate Ln centers, respectively. The formation and characterization of this large family of Ln/Th iodate selenates suggest that such a mixed-anion system not only exhibits richer structural chemistry but also can be capable of generating intriguing properties, such as the second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect.

Abstract
Tetrametallic thorium compounds with a Th4E4 core (E = S, Se) having a distorted cubane structure can be prepared by ligand-based reductions of elemental E with thorium chalcogenolates, prepared by in situ oxidation of Th metal with a 3:1 mixture of PhEEPh and F5C6EEC6F5. Four compounds, (py)8Th4S4(μ2-SPh)4(SC6F5)4, (py)8Th4S4(μ2-SPh)4(SeC6F5)4, (py)8Th4Se4(μ2-SePh)4(SeC6F5)4, and (py)8Th4Se4(μ2-SePh)4(SC6F5)4, were isolated and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. These compounds clearly demonstrate the chemical impact of ring fluorination, with the less-nucleophilic EC6F5 ligands occupying the terminal binding sites and the EPh ligands bridging two metal centers. For this series of compounds, crystal packing and intermolecular π···π and H-bonding interactions result in a consistent motif and crystallization in a body-centered tetragonal unit cell. Solution-state 77Se NMR spectroscopy reveals that the solid-state structures are maintained in pyridine.

Abstract
Seeking predictive insights into how metal-ion speciation impacts solution chemistry as well as the composition and structure of solid-precipitates, thorium correlations, with both solvent and other solute ions, were quantitatively probed in a series of acidic, nitrate/perchlorate solutions held at constant ionic strength. Difference pair-distribution functions (dPDF), obtained from high-energy X-ray scattering (HEXS) data, provide unprecedented structural information on the number of Th ligating ions in solution and how they change with increasing nitrate concentration. A fit of the end member solution, Th (4 m perchloric acid and no nitrate), reveals a homoleptic Th aqua ion with 10 waters in its first coordination shell. Analyses of the acidic solutions containing nitrate reveal exclusively bidentate NO3- complexation with Th, consistent with published solid-state MIV nitrate structures, where MIV = Ce, Th, U, Np, Pu. Metrical fits of Th coordination as a function of nitrate concentration are used to calculate Th-NO3 stability constants, information important to a molecular-scale description of reaction energetics. The coordination environments of Th in solution were compared with single-crystal structures obtained from their precipitates, Th(NO3)4(H2O)4 and Th(NO3)4(H2O)3·(H2O)2. Relative stabilities of the solid-state compounds, assessed based on the results of molecular quantum chemical calculations, reveal the importance of including an accurate description of complexed waters when predicting relative energetics of dissolved ions in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Three tetravalent actinide (AnIV ) hexanuclear clusters with the octahedral core [An6 (OH)4 O4 ]12+ (AnIV =UIV , NpIV , PuIV ) were structurally characterized in the solid state and in aqueous solution by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption, IR, Raman, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. The observed structure, [An6 (OH)4 O4 (H2 O)8 (HDOTA)4 ]⋅HCl/HNO3 ⋅n H2 O (An=U(I), Np(II), Pu(III)), consists of a AnIV hexanuclear pseudo-octahedral cluster stabilized by DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) ligands. The six actinide atoms are connected through alternate μ3 -O2- and μ3 -OH- groups. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) investigations combined with UV/Vis spectroscopy provide evidence for the same local structure in moderate acidic and neutral aqueous solutions. The synthesis mechanism was partially elucidated and the main physicochemical properties (pH range stability, solubility, and protonation constant) of the cluster were determined. The results underline the importance of: 1) considering such polynuclear species in thermodynamic models, and 2) competing reactions between hydrolysis and complexation. It is interesting to note that the same synthesis route with thorium(IV) led to the formation of a dimer, Th2 (H2 O)10 (H2 DOTA)2 ⋅4 NO3 ⋅x H2 O (IV), which contrasts to the structure of the other AnIV hexamers.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of Th(iv) was studied in tetraethylammonium perchlorate (0.10 mol kg(-1)) at variable temperatures (283-358 K) by potentiometry and microcalorimetry. Three hydrolysis reactions, mTh(4+) + nH2O = Thm(OH)n((4m-n)+) + nH(+), in which (n,m) = (2,2), (8,4), and (15,6), were invoked to describe the potentiometric and calorimetric data for solutions with the [hydroxide]/[Th(iv)] ratio ≤ 2. At higher ratios, the formation of (16,5) cannot be excluded. The hydrolysis constants, *β2,2, *β8,4, and *β15,6, increased by 3, 7, and 11 orders of magnitude, respectively, as the temperature was increased from 283 to 358 K. The enhancement is mainly due to the significant increase of the degree of ionization of water as the temperature rises. All three hydrolysis reactions are endothermic at 298 K, with enthalpies of (118 ± 4) kJ mol(-1), (236 ± 7) kJ mol(-1), and (554 ± 4) kJ mol(-1) for ΔH2,2, ΔH8,4, and ΔH15,6 respectively. The hydrolysis constants at infinite dilution have been obtained with the specific ion interaction approach. The applicability of three approaches for estimating the equilibrium constants at different temperatures, including the constant enthalpy approach, the constant heat capacity approach and the DQUANT equation was evaluated with the data from this work.

Abstract
Three new octanuclear Th(iv) arsonates, namely [Th(8)(O)(L)(6)(HL)(6)(H(2)O)(12)]·19.5H(2)O (1) (H(3)L = o-HO(3)S-C(6)H(4)-AsO(3)H(2)), [Th(8)(O)(L)(6)(HL)(6)(H(2)O)(10)]·17H(2)O (2) and [Th(8)(O)(L)(6)(HL)(6)(H(2)O)(5)]·0.5H(2)O (3), with o-sulfophenylarsonic acid as the bridging ligand, have been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Each complex contains [Th(8)O(13)](6+) octanuclear cluster cores composed of two [Th(4)O(6)](4+) units bridged by a μ(2)-oxo anion. The structure of compound features a 0D highly symmetric polynuclear cluster encapsulating the octanuclear core of [Th(8)O(13)](6+) which is further decorated by six L(3-) and six HL(2-) ligands. Compound 2 features one-dimensional chains along the b-axis in which the neighboring clusters similar to are bridged by a pair of sulfophenylarsonate ligands via M-O-S-O-M bridges. Compound 3 with chiral P2(1)2(1)2(1) features two-dimensional cluster layers, in which each cluster connects with four neighbors via four M-O-S-O-M linkages. Compounds 2 and 3 display unusual broad green light emission bands at 523 nm (λ(ex) = 320 nm) and 517 nm (λ(ex) = 312 nm), respectively, which originate from the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition.

Abstract
The reaction of Na10[α-SiW9O34] with tetravalent metallic cations such as 4f ((NH4)2Ce(NO3)6), 5d (HfCl4), or 5f (UCl4 and Th(NO3)4) in a pH 4.7 sodium acetate buffer solution leads to the formation of four sandwich-type polyoxometalates [Ce4(μ(3)-O)2(SiW9O34)2(CH3COO)2](10-) (1), [U4(μ(3)-O)2(SiW9O34)2(CH3COO)2](10-) (2), [Th3(μ(3)-O)(μ(2)-OH)3(SiW9O34)2](13-) (3), and [Hf3(μ(2)-OH)3(SiW9O34)2](11-) (4). All four compounds consist of a polynuclear cluster fragment stabilized by two [α-SiW9O34](10-) polyanions. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural with a tetranuclear core (Ce4, U4), while compound 3 presents a trinuclear Th3 core bearing a μ(3)-O-centered bridge. It is an unprecedented configuration in the case of the thorium(IV) cluster. Compound 4 also possesses a trinuclear Hf3 core but with the absence of the μ(3)-O bridge. The molecules have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, (183)W and (29)Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) analysis.

Abstract
While extensive success has been gained in the structural chemistry of the U-Se system, the synthesis and characterization of Th-based Se structures are widely unexplored. Here, four new Th-Se compounds, α-Th(SeO3)2, β-Th(SeO3)2, Th(Se2O5)2, and Th3O2(OH)2(SeO4)3, have been obtained from mild hydrothermal or low-temperature (180-220 °C) flux conditions and were subsequently structurally and spectroscopically characterized. The crystal structures of α-Th(SeO3)2 and β-Th(SeO3)2 are based on ThO8 and SeO3 polyhedra, respectively, featuring a three-dimensional (3D) network with selenite anions filling in the Th channels along the a axis. Th(Se2O5)2 is a 3D framework composed of isolated ThO8 polyhedra interconnected by [Se2O5](2-) dimers. Th3O2(OH)2(SeO4)3 is also a 3D framework constructed by octahedral hexathorium clusters [Th6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4](12+), which are interlinked by selenate groups SeO4(2-). The positions of the vibrational modes associated with both Se(IV)O3(2-) and Se(VI)O4(2-) units, respectively, were determined for four compounds, and the Raman spectra of α- and β-Th(SeO3)2 are compared and discussed in detail.

Abstract
Aluminum can undergo hydrolysis in aqueous solutions leading to the formation of soluble molecular clusters, including polynuclear species that range from 1 to 2 nm in diameter. While the behavior of aluminum has been extensively investigated, much less is known about the hydrolysis of more complex mixed-metal systems. This study focuses on the structural characteristics of heterometallic thorium-aluminum molecular species that may have important implications for the speciation of tetravalent actinides in radioactive waste streams and environmental systems. Two mixed metal (Th(4+)/Al(3+)) polynuclear species have been synthesized under ambient conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Th(2)Al(6)(OH)(14)(H(2)O)(12)(hedta)(2)](NO(3))(6)(H(2)O)(12) (ThAl1) crystallizes in space group P2(1)/c with unit cell parameters of a = 11.198(1) Å, b = 14.210(2) Å, c = 23.115(3) Å, and β = 96.375° and [Th(2)Al(8)(OH)(12)(H(2)O)(10)(hdpta)(4)](H(2)O)(21) (ThAl2) was modeled in P1 with a = 13.136(4) Å, b = 14.481(4) Å, c = 15.819(4) Å, α = 78.480(9)°, β = 65.666(8)°, γ = 78.272(8)°. Infrared spectra were collected on both compounds, confirming complexation of the ligand to the metal center, and thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the thermal degradation of these compounds resulted in the formation of an amorphous product at high temperatures. These mixed metal species have topological relationships to previously characterized aluminum-based polynuclear species and may provide insights into the adsorption of tetravalent actinides on colloidal or mineral surfaces.
