Abstract
The reaction mechanism of the isomerization of α and β-pinene epoxides with Fe species as catalysts was studied with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and an experimental methodology. β-pinene epoxide can be isomerized into myrtanal and myrtenol in four steps, while in the case of perillyl alcohol, two additional steps are necessary. On the other hand, high selectivity to myrtanal obtained experimentally can be explained by the number of steps and the kind of the hydrogen transference that is easier for this compound in comparison with myrtenol and perillyl alcohol. A thermodynamic analysis showed that transformation into myrtenol, myrtanal, and perillyl alcohol is spontaneous but transformation into myrtanal is the most favorable. In the case of α-pinene epoxide rearrangement, a mechanistic study was carried out toward the optimization of the possible intermediates. Synthesis of campholenic aldehyde and carveol from α-pinene epoxide was carried out through three steps after the coordination of oxygen to iron, showing that in contrast to carveol formation, campholenic aldehyde synthesis is spontaneous. Analysis of ∇2ρ, the total energy density (H = V + G), and the |V|/G ratio evaluated at the bond critical point of the Fe-O bond showed for both epoxides that such interaction is closed shell instead of covalent. Apparently, α-pinene epoxide can be isomerized faster that β-pinene epoxide with Fe3+, which is in agreement with previous experimental results. This is the first report where a reaction mechanism of isomerization of monoterpenes epoxides is studied based on very detailed experimental and computational methodologies.

Abstract
A series of uranyl thiocyanate and selenocyanate of the type [R4N]3[UO2(NCS)5] (R4 = nBu4, Me3Bz, Et3Bz), [Ph4P][UO2(NCS)3(NO3)] and [R4N]3[UO2(NCSe)5] (R4 = Me4, nPr4, Et3Bz) have been prepared and structurally characterized. The resulting noncovalent interactions have been examined and compared to other examples in the literature. The nature of these interactions is determined by the cation so that when the alkyl groups are small, chalcogenide···chalcogenide interactions are present, but this "switches off" when R = nPr and charge assisted U═O···H-C and S(e)···H-C hydrogen bonding remain the dominant interaction. Increasing the size of the chain to nBu results in only S···H-C interactions. The spectroscopic implications of these chalcogenide interactions have been explored in the vibrational and photophysical properties of the series [R4N]3[UO2(NCS)5] (R4 = Me4, Et4, nPr4, nBu4, Me3Bz, Et3Bz), [R4N]3[UO2(NCSe)5] (R4 = Me4, nPr4, Et3Bz) and [Et4N]4[UO2(NCSe)5][NCSe]. The data suggest that U═O···H-C interactions are weak and do not perturb the uranyl moiety. While the chalcogenide interactions do not influence the photophysical properties, a coupling of the U═O and δ(NCS) or δ(NCSe) vibrational modes is observed in the 77 K solid state emission spectra. A theoretical examination of representative examples of Se···Se, C-H···Se, and C-H···O═U by molecular electrostatic potentials and NBO and AIM methodologies gives a deeper understanding of these weak interactions. C-H···Se are individually weak but C-H···O═U interactions are even weaker, supporting the idea that the -yl oxo's are weak Lewis bases. An Atoms in Molecules study suggests that the chalcogenide interaction is similar to lone pair···π or fluorine···fluorine interactions. An oxidation of the NCS ligands to form [(UO2)(SO4)2(H2O)4]·3H2O was also noted.

Abstract
A theoretical investigation of the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) mechanism of rac-lactide (LA) with an yttrium complex featuring a N-heterocyclic carbine (NHC) tethered moiety is reported. It was found that the carbonyl of lactide is attacked by N(SiMe3)2 group rather than NHC species at the chain initiation step. The polymerization selectivity was further investigated via two consecutive insertions of lactide monomer molecules. The insertion of the second monomer in different assembly modes indicated that the steric interactions between the last enchained monomer unit and the incoming monomer together with the repulsion between the incoming monomer and the ligand framework are the primary factors determining the stereoselectivity. The interaction energy between the monomer and the metal center could also play an important role in the stereocontrol.

Abstract
We report herein the actinide-mediated insertion of E-H bonds (E = C, N, P, S) into various heterocumulenes including carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates. The precatalysts are prepared by a simple, one-pot procedure using readily available starting materials, and challenging insertions are achieved with excellent selectivity in short reaction times. Spectroscopic data are utilised to propose the active catalytic mechanism and derive thermodynamic activation parameters, which are described in this study. The only example of an actinide-mediated C-H bond insertion into a carbon-heteroatom bond is presented within this study.
