Abstract
The actinide elements are attractive alternatives to transition metals or lanthanides for the design of exchange-coupled multinuclear single-molecule magnets. However, the synthesis of such compounds is challenging, as is unraveling any contributions from exchange coupling to the overall magnetism. To date, only a few actinide compounds have been shown to exhibit exchange coupling and single-molecule magnetism. Here, we report triangular uranium(III) clusters of the type (CpiPr5)3U3X (1-X; X = Cl, Br, I; CpiPr5 = pentaisopropylcyclopentadienyl), which are synthesized via reaction of the aryloxide-bridged precursor (CpiPr5)2U2(OPhtBu)4 with excess Me3SiX. Spectroscopic analysis suggests the presence of covalency in the uranium-halide interactions arising from 5f orbital participation in bonding. The dc magnetic susceptibility data reveal the presence of antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the uranium(III) centers in these compounds, with the strength of the exchange decreasing down the halide series. Ac magnetic susceptibility data further reveal all compounds to exhibit slow magnetic relaxation under zero dc field. In 1-I, which exhibits particularly weak exchange, magnetic relaxation occurs via a Raman mechanism associated with the individual uranium(III) centers. In contrast, for 1-Br and 1-Cl, magnetic relaxation occurs via an Orbach mechanism, likely involving relaxation between ground and excited exchange-coupled states. Significantly, in the case of 1-Cl, magnetic relaxation is sufficiently slow such that open magnetic hysteresis is observed up to 2.75 K, and the compound exhibits a 100-s blocking temperature of 2.4 K. This compound provides the first example of magnetic blocking in a compound containing only actinide-based ions, as well as the first example involving the uranium(III) oxidation state.

Abstract
Complexes formed between the heaviest and lightest elements in the periodic table yield the f-block hydrides, a unique class of compounds with wide-ranging utility and interest, from catalysis to light-responsive materials and nuclear waste storage. Recent developments in syntheses and analytics, such as exploiting low-oxidation state metal ions and improvements in X-ray diffraction tools, have transformed our ability to understand, access and manipulate these important species. This perspective brings together insights from binary metal hydrides, with molecular solution phase studies on heteroleptic complexes and gas phase investigations. It aims to provide an overview of how the f-element influences hydride formation, structure and reactivity including the sometimes-surprising power of co-ligands to tune their behaviour towards a variety of applications.

Abstract
We describe a study of the influence of cryptand denticity on the structural, electronic, and electrochemical properties of UIII-containing cryptates. Two cryptands (2.2.2 and 2.2.1) are reported. The cryptand with the smaller denticity leads to negative electrochemical potentials and shorter bond lengths that are consistent with a better fit for UIII than the larger cryptand. These studies provide insight into the rational design of cryptand-based ligands for trivalent uranium.

Abstract
One hexa- and two octanuclear Cu(II) complexes were synthesised from different metal salts and a very large (8 + 8) tetraeicosaaza macrocycle. These nitrate, chloride and sulphate coordination compounds were characterised by taking elemental analysis, spectroscopy, crystallography and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Their crystal structures revealed different interesting coordination modes of Cu(II) cations and nuclearity in these centrosymmetric complexes. For the sulphate complex two different, homo- vs. heterochiral, arrangements of the same macrocycle L3 around the same Cu(II) cations take place.

Abstract
Reaction of the terphenyl bis(anilide) ligand [{K(DME)2}2LAr] (LAr = {C6H4[(2,6-iPr2C6H3)NC6H4]2}2-) with trivalent chloride "MCl3" salts (M = Ce, U, Np) yields two distinct products; neutral LArM(Cl)(THF) (1M) (M = Np, Ce), and the "-ate" complexes [K(DME)2][(LAr)Np(Cl)2] (2Np) or ([LArM(Cl)2(μ-K(X)2)])∞ (2Ce, 2U) (M = Ce, U) (X = DME or Et2O) (2M). Alternatively, analogous reactions with the iodide [MI3(THF)4] salts provide access to the neutral compounds LArM(I)(THF) (3M) (M = Ce, U, Np, Pu). All complexes exhibit close arene contacts suggestive of η6-interactions with the central arene ring of the terphenyl backbone, with 3M comprising the first structurally characterized Pu η6-arene moiety. Notably, the metal-arene bond metrics diverge from the predicted trends of metal-carbon interactions based on ionic radii, with the uranium complexes exhibiting the shortest M-Ccentroid distance in all cases. Overall, the data presents a systematic study of f-element M-η6-arene complexes across the early actinides U, Np, Pu, and comparison to cerium congeners.

Abstract
We present the synthesis and reactivity of a newly developed, cyclen-based tris-aryloxide ligand precursor, namely cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArOH)3, and its coordination chemistry to uranium. The corresponding uranium(iii) complex [UIII((OAr t-Bu,t-Bu)3(Me)cyclen)] (1) was characterized by 1H NMR analysis, CHN elemental analysis and UV/vis/NIR electronic absorption spectroscopy. Since no single-crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis could be obtained from this precursor, 1 was oxidized with methylene chloride or silver fluoride to yield [(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UIV(X)] (X = Cl (2), F (3)), which were unambiguously characterized and successfully crystallized to gain insight into the molecular structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SC-XRD). Further, the activation of H2O and N2O by 1 is presented, resulting in the U(iv) complex [(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UIV(OH)] (4) and the U(v) complex [(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UV(O)] (6). Complexes 2, 3, 4, and 6 were characterized by 1H NMR analysis, CHN elemental analysis, UV/vis/NIR electronic absorption spectroscopy, IR vibrational spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetization measurements as well as cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, chemical oxidation of 3, 4, and 6 with AgF or AgSbF6 was achieved leading to complexes [(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UV(F)2] (5), [(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UV(OH)][SbF6] (7), and [(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UVI(O)][SbF6] (8). Finally, reduction of 7 with KC8 yielded a U(iv) complex, spectroscopically and magnetochemically identified as K[(cyclen(Me)( t-Bu,t-BuArO)3)UIV(O)].

Abstract
Four hexanuclear chloride and sulphate Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes 1, 2, 4 and 5 and one tetranuclear nitrate Cu(II) complex 3 have been synthesised from appropriate metal salts and 6 + 6 octadecaaza macrocyclic ligands. All obtained coordination compounds have been characterised by elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods (ESI MS, NMR and EPR), magnetic susceptibility measurements and X-ray crystallography. Their X-ray crystal structures reveal different coordination modes of metal cations involved in the obtained centro-symmetrical coordination compounds. The conformational folding of the macrocyclic ligand adopted in the respective complexes depends on the number of metal cations bound within the macrocycle but not on their type. The cavities of these multinuclear complexes might be occupied by solvent molecules and counter anions bound by hydrogen bonds or might be empty in the case where the macrocyclic ring of the ligand is squeezed in the middle. All obtained Ni(II) and Cu(II) coordination compounds are paramagnetic. This has been proved by their 1H NMR and EPR spectra and magnetic measurements. Direct current (DC) variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements on the polycrystalline samples of 1-5 were carried out in the temperature range of 1.8-300 K. The magnetic behaviour of 1 and 2 is dominated by the magnetic anisotropy of the nickel(II) ion masking the magnetic interactions between magnetic centres. The magnetic data of 3-5 reveal small antiferromagnetic interactions within the Cu4 and Cu6 units. EPR experiments for 3-5 show, at 9.6 and 34 GHz frequencies, that the predominant contribution to the orbitals occupied by the unpaired electrons in the ground state originates from dx2-y2.

Abstract
The simple modification of the Schiff-base ligands often brings significant changes in the coordination properties of the metal-complexes, providing newer prospects for their unexplored applications. In this context, the present work utilized the “self-adaptable” acyclic diiminodipyrromethane Schiff's bases (2a and 2b) for the synthesis of their Zn-based complexes and explored their potential in the ring-opening polymerization of benzoxazines. The two zinc complexes of composition [Zn{(Ph)(CH3)C(2,6-iPr2C6H3–N

Later, zinc complexes (3 & 4) were used as catalysts to reduce the curing (ring-opening polymerization) temperature of benzoxazine monomers such as Bisphenol-A (BA-a) and Bisphenol-F (BF-a) benzoxazines. Dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed that the on-set curing (Tp) temperatures were reasonably decreased upto 20% for the benzoxazines. Furthermore, the thermal stabilities of the polybenzoxazines (PBzs) derived in the presence of zinc catalysts (3 and 4) were compared with PBz obtained in the absence of catalyst under similar conditions. The thermal studies reveled that there is no significant changes in the initial degradation of polymers. However, the thermal stability in terms of char yields at 800 °C improved upto 10–21% for the bisphenol-A/F benzoxazines. The present work utilized the “self-adaptable” acyclic diiminodipyrromethane Schiff's bases (2a and 2b) for the synthesis of their Zn-based complexes and explored their potential in the ring-opening polymerization of BA-a and BF-a benzoxazines.![]()

Abstract
We describe the functionalisation of the previously reported uranium(iii) β-diketiminate complex (BDI)UI2(THF)2 (1) with one and two equivalents of a sterically demanding 2,6-diisopropylphenolate ligand (ODipp) leading to the formation of two heteroleptic complexes: [(BDI)UI(ODipp)]2 (2) and (BDI)U(ODipp)2 (3). The latter is a rare example of a tetrahedral uranium(iii) complex, and it shows single-molecule magnet behaviour.

Abstract
Even 155 years after their first synthesis, Schiff bases continue to surprise inorganic chemists. Schiff-base ligands have played a major role in the development of modern coordination chemistry because of their relevance to a number of interdisciplinary research fields. The chemistry, properties and applications of transition metal and lanthanoid complexes with Schiff-base ligands are now quite mature. On the contrary, the coordination chemistry of Schiff bases with actinoid (5f-metal) ions is an emerging area, and impressive research discoveries have appeared in the last 10 years or so. The chemistry of actinoid ions continues to attract the intense interest of many inorganic groups around the world. Important scientific challenges are the understanding the basic chemistry associated with handling and recycling of nuclear materials; investigating the redox properties of these elements and the formation of complexes with unusual metal oxidation states; discovering materials for the recovery of trans-{UVIO2}2+ from the oceans; elucidating and manipulating actinoid-element multiple bonds; discovering methods to carry out multi-electron reactions; and improving the 5f-metal ions’ potential for activation of small molecules. The study of 5f-metal complexes with Schiff-base ligands is a currently “hot” topic for a variety of reasons, including issues of synthetic inorganic chemistry, metalosupramolecular chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, separation strategies for nuclear fuel processing and nuclear waste management, bioinorganic and environmental chemistry, materials chemistry and theoretical chemistry. This almost-comprehensive review, covers aspects of synthetic chemistry, reactivity and the properties of dinuclear and oligonuclear actinoid complexes based on Schiff-base ligands. Our work focuses on the significant advances that have occurred since 2000, with special attention on recent developments. The review is divided into eight sections (chapters). After an introductory section describing the organization of the scientific information, Sections 2 and 3 deal with general information about Schiff bases and their coordination chemistry, and the chemistry of actinoids, respectively. Section 4 highlights the relevance of Schiff bases to actinoid chemistry. Sections 5–7 are the “main menu” of the scientific meal of this review. The discussion is arranged according the actinoid (only for Np, Th and U are Schiff-base complexes known). Sections 5 and 7 are further arranged into parts according to the oxidation states of Np and U, respectively, because the coordination chemistry of these metals is very much dependent on their oxidation state. In Section 8, some concluding comments are presented and a brief prognosis for the future is attempted.

Abstract
The redox properties of actinides play a significant role in manipulating organometallic chemistry and energy/environment science, for being involved in fundamental concepts (oxidation state, bonding and reactivity), nuclear fuel cycles and contamination remediation. Herein, a series of trans-calix[2]pyrrole[2]benzene (H2L2) actinide complexes (An = Ac–Pu, and oxidation states of +II and +III) have been studied by relativistic density functional theory. Reduction potentials (E0) of [AnL2]+/[AnL2] were computed within −2.45 and −1.64 V versus Fc+/Fc in THF, comparable to experimental values of −2.50 V for [UL1e]/[UL1e]− (H3L1e = (Ad,MeArOH)3mesitylene and Ad = adamantyl) and −2.35 V for [U(CpiPr)2]+/[U(CpiPr)2] (CpiPr = C5iPr5). The E0 values show an overall increasing trend from Ac to Pu but a break point at Np being lower than adjacent elements. The arene/actinide mixed reduction mechanism is proposed, showing arenes predominant in Ac–Pa complexes but diverting to metal-centered domination in U–Pu ones. Besides being consistent with previously reported those of AnIII/AnII couples, the changing trend of our reduction potentials is corroborated by geometric data, topological analysis of bonds and electronic structures as well as additional calculations on actinide complexes ligated by tris(alkyloxide)arene, silyl-cyclopentadiene and octadentate Schiff-base polypyrrole in terms of electron affinity. The regularity would help to explore synthesis and property of novel actinide(ii) complex. DFT study reveals the trend of reduction potential of [AnL2]+/[AnL2] (An = Ac ∼ Pu), comparable to previously reported ones of AnIII/AnII and corroborated by calculations of relevant complexes and structural/bonding properties of [AnL2]+/0.![]()

Abstract
Despite there being numerous examples of f-element compounds supported by cyclopentadienyl, arene, cycloheptatrienyl, and cyclooctatetraenyl ligands (C5-8 ), cyclobutadienyl (C4 ) complexes remain exceedingly rare. Here, we report that reaction of [Li2 {C4 (SiMe3 )4 }(THF)2 ] (1) with [U(BH4 )3 (THF)2 ] (2) gives the pianostool complex [U{C4 (SiMe3 )4 }(BH4 )3 ][Li(THF)4 ] (3), where use of a borohydride and preformed C4 -unit circumvents difficulties in product isolation and closing a C4 -ring at uranium. Complex 3 is an unprecedented example of an f-element half-sandwich cyclobutadienyl complex, and it is only the second example of an actinide-cyclobutadienyl complex, the other being an inverse-sandwich. The U-C distances are short (av. 2.513 Å), reflecting the formal 2- charge of the C4 -unit, and the SiMe3 groups are displaced from the C4 -plane, which we propose maximises U-C4 orbital overlap. DFT calculations identify two quasi-degenerate U-C4 π-bonds utilising the ψ2 and ψ3 molecular orbitals of the C4 -unit, but the potential δ-bond using the ψ4 orbital is vacant.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and preliminary reactivity of new heteroleptic thorium and uranium complexes supported by the macrocyclic TMTAA ligand (TMTAA = Tetramethyl-tetra-aza-annulene). The dihalide complexes Th(TMTAA)Cl2(THF)2 (1), [UCl2(TMTAA)]2 (2) and U(TMTAA)I2 (3) are further functionalized to the Cp* derivatives ThCp*(TMTAA)Cl (4), UCp*(TMTAA)Cl (5) and UCp*(TMTAA)I (6) (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienide). Compounds 4-6 are also obtained through a one-pot reaction from standard thorium(iv) and uranium(iv) starting materials, Li2TMTAA and KCp*. Complexes 1-6 function as valuable starting materials for salt metathesis chemistry. Treatment of precursors 4 or 5 with trimethylsilylmethyllithium (LiCH2TMS) results in the new actinide TMTAA alkyl complexes ThCp*(TMTAA)(CH2TMS) (7) and UCp*(TMTAA)(CH2TMTS) (8), respectively. The TMTAA-derived alkyl complexes (7 and 8) show unexpected stability and are stable for several weeks at room temperature in solution and in the solid-state. Additionally, double substitution of the halide ligands in 1-3 shows a strong dependence on the nucleophile used. While weaker nucleophiles, such as amides, and more sterically demanding nucleophiles, such as Cp (Cp = cyclopenadienide), favour the formation of bis-TMTAA "sandwich" complexes [An(TMTAA)2] (An = Th (9) and An = U (10)), the use of oxygen-functionalized ligands like the ODipp anion (Dipp = diisopropylphenyl) results in the formation of the doubly substituted species Th(ODipp)2TMTAA (11) and U(ODipp)2TMTAA (12). We also describe the divergent reactivity of the TMTAA ligand towards uranium(iii). Unlike the syntheses of actinide(iv) TMTAA complexes, the synthesis of a uranium(iii) TMTAA was not successful and only uranium(iv) species could be obtained.

Abstract
A large macrocyclic ligand containing six pyridine fragments and six diaminocyclopentane fragments is able to form hexanuclear Zn(II) and Ni(II) complexes as well as a trinuclear Zn(II) complex. X-ray crystal structures of these complexes indicate quite different ligand conformations. In the hexanuclear Zn(II) derivative with chloride counteranions metal ions have a distorted-trigonal-bipyramidal geometry and occupy loop sections formed by the highly folded macrocycle, which adopts a globular shape. In the hexanuclear Ni(II) derivative with nitrate counteranions metal ions exhibit a distorted-octahedral geometry and the ligand conformation is much more open, while in the trinuclear Zn(II) complex the macrocycle wraps around the octahedral metal ions. The last highly entangled conformation of the trinuclear complex is also present in solution, as confirmed by the NOESY spectra. The NMR data indicate that the hexanuclear Zn(II) complex partially dissociates in water solutions to form the trinuclear complex, while the 1H NMR titration of the free macrocycle with zinc(II) chloride indicates that the formation of a trinuclear complex corresponds to cooperative binding of metal ions.

Abstract
The first use of a dinuclear UIII/UIII complex in the activation of small molecules is reported. The octadentate Schiff-base pyrrole, anthracene-hinged 'Pacman' ligand LA combines two strongly reducing UIII centres and three borohydride ligands in [M(THF)4][{U(BH4)}2(μ-BH4)(LA)(THF)2] 1-M, (M = Li, Na, K). The two borohydride ligands bound to uranium outside the macrocyclic cleft are readily substituted by aryloxide ligands, resulting in a single, weakly-bound, encapsulated endo group 1 metal borohydride bridging the two UIII centres in [{U(OAr)}2(μ-MBH4)(LA)(THF)2] 2-M (OAr = OC6H2t Bu3-2,4,6, M = Na, K). X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that, for 2-K, in addition to the endo-BH4 ligand the potassium counter-cation is also incorporated into the cleft through η5-interactions with the pyrrolides instead of extraneous donor solvent. As such, 2-K has a significantly higher solubility in non-polar solvents and a wider U-U separation compared to the 'ate' complex 1. The cooperative reducing capability of the two UIII centres now enforced by the large and relatively flexible macrocycle is compared for the two complexes, recognising that the borohydrides can provide additional reducing capability, and that the aryloxide-capped 2-K is constrained to reactions within the cleft. The reaction between 1-Na and S8 affords an insoluble, presumably polymeric paramagnetic complex with bridging uranium sulfides, while that with CS2 results in oxidation of each UIII to the notably high UV oxidation state, forming the unusual trithiocarbonate (CS3)2- as a ligand in [{U(CS3)}2(μ-κ2:κ2-CS3)(LA)] (4). The reaction between 2-K and S8 results in quantitative substitution of the endo-KBH4 by a bridging persulfido (S2)2- group and oxidation of each UIII to UIV, yielding [{U(OAr)}2(μ-κ2:κ2-S2)(LA)] (5). The reaction of 2-K with CS2 affords a thermally unstable adduct which is tentatively assigned as containing a carbon disulfido (CS2)2- ligand bridging the two U centres (6a), but only the mono-bridged sulfido (S)2- complex [{U(OAr)}2(μ-S)(LA)] (6) is isolated. The persulfido complex (5) can also be synthesised from the mono-bridged sulfido complex (6) by the addition of another equivalent of sulfur.

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.

Abstract
Two lower-oxidation state uranium cations can be readily combined and controlled in a robust and derivatisable tetra-aryloxide ligand framework. These di-UIII/IV systems are a new platform at which to use the multi-electron reductive capacity of the two actinide centres.

Abstract
Oxidation of acyclic Schiff-base dipyrromethanes cleanly results in dipyrrins, whereas the macrocyclic 'Pacman' analogues either decompose or form new dinuclear copper(ii) complexes that are inert to ligand oxidation; the unhindered hydrogen substituent at the meso-carbon allows new structural motifs to form.
