Abstract
Defined arrays of transition metal ions embedded in tailored polydentate ligand scaffolds allow for a systematic design of their physical properties. Such molecular strings of closed-shell transition metal centers are particularly interesting for Group 11 metal ions in the oxidation state +1 if they undergo metallophilic d10···d10 contact interactions since these clusters are oftentimes efficient photoluminescence (PL) emitters. Copper is particularly attractive as a sustainable earth-abundant coinage metal source and because of the ability of several CuI complexes to serve as powerful thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters in molecular/organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Our combined synthetic, crystallographic, photophysical, and computational study describes a straight tetracuprous array possessing a centrally disconnected CuI2···CuI2 chain and a continuous helically bent CuI4 complex. This molecular helix undergoes a facile rearrangement in diethyl ether solution, yielding an unprecedented nanosized CuI10 cluster (2.9 × 2.0 nm) upon crystallization. All three clusters show either bright blue phosphorescence, TADF, or green/yellow multiband phosphorescence with quantum yields between 6.5 and 67%, which is persistent under hydrostatic pressure up to 30 kbar. Temperature-dependent PL investigations in combination with time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations and void space analyses of the crystal packings complement a comprehensive correlation between the molecular structures and photoluminescence properties.

Abstract
The first non-uranyl, f-element oxo complex synthesized from dioxygen in dry air is presented in this work. The synthesis was accomplished by treating the redox-active thorium amidophenolate complex, [Th(dippap)3][K(15-c-5)2]2 (1-ap crown), with dioxygen in dry air, forming a rare terminal thorium oxo, [O═Th(dippisq)2(dippap)][K(15-c-5)2]2 (2-oxo). Compound 1-ap crown was regenerated by treating 2-oxo with potassium graphite. X-ray crystallography of 2-oxo revealed a comparatively longer bond length for the thorium-oxygen double bond when compared to other thorium oxos. As such, several thorium-oxygen single bonds were synthesized for comparison, including Th(dippisq)2(OSiMe3)2(THF) (4-OSiMe3), Th(OSiMe3)4(bipy)2 (5-OSiMe3), and [Th(OH)2 (dippHap)4][K(15-c-5)2]2 (6-OH). Full spectroscopic and structural characterization of the complexes was performed via 1H NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, EPR spectroscopy, and electronic absorption spectroscopy as well as SQUID magnetometry, which all confirmed the electronic structure of these complexes.

Abstract
A series of thorium(IV) complexes featuring the redox-active 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)-o-iminobenzoquinone (dippiq) ligand family have been synthesized and characterized. The neutral iminoquinone ligand was used to generate Th(dippiq)Cl4(dme)2 (1-iq) and Th(dippiq)2Cl4 (2-iq), both of which show dative bonds between the thorium(IV) ion and the ligands. One electron reduction of the ligand forms the unique tris(iminosemiquinone) complex, Th(dippisq)3Cl (3-isq), which features a radical in each ligand. Further reduction furnishes the amidophenolate species, Th(dippap)3]K2(THF)2 (4-ap), which has the ligands in their dianionic form. Attempts to sequester the potassium ions with cryptand resulted in the [Th(dippap)3K][K(crypt)] (4-ap mono crypt) and [Th(dippap)3][K(crypt)]2 (4-ap crypt) species. A bis(amidophenolate) complex was accessed by incorporating bulky triphenylphosphine oxide (OPPh3) ligands to generate Th(dippap)2(OPPh)3 (5-ap). Spectroscopic and structural characterization of each derivative established the +4 oxidation state for thorium with redox chemistry occurring at the ligands rather than the thorium ion. The reported 3-isq complex is unprecedented as it is the first tri(radical) thorium complex with the highest reported magnetic moment for a thorium species as characterized by SQUID magnetometry.

Abstract
In the last decade, major conceptual advances in the chemistry of actinide molecules and materials have been made to demonstrate their distinct reactivity profiles as compared to lanthanide and transition metal compounds, but some difficult questions remain concerning the intriguing stability of low-valent actinide complexes, and the importance of the 5f-orbitals in reactivity and bonding. The imidazolin-2-iminato moiety has been extensively used in ligands for the advancement of actinide chemistry owing to its unique capability of stabilizing the reactive and highly electrophilic metal ions by virtue of its strong electron donation and steric tunability. The current review article describes recent developments in the chemistry of light actinide metal ions (thorium and uranium) bearing these N-heterocyclic iminato moieties as supporting ligands. In addition, the effect of ring expansion of the N-heterocycle on the catalytic aptitude of the organoactinides is also described herein. The synthesis and reactivity of actinide complexes bearing N-heterocyclic iminato ligands are presented, and promising apposite applications are also presented. The current review focuses on addressing the catalytic behavior of actinide complexes with oxygen-containing substrates such as in the Tishchenko reaction, hydroelementation processes, and polymerization reactions. Actinide complexes have also found new catalytic applications, as demonstrated by the potent chemoselective carbonyl hydroboration and tandem proton-transfer esterification (TPTE) reaction, featuring coupling between an aldehyde and alcohol.

Abstract
Uranium nitride complexes are attractive targets for chemists as molecular models for the bonding, reactivity, and magnetic properties of next-generation nuclear fuels, but these molecules are uncommon and can be difficult to isolate due to their high reactivity. Here, we describe the synthesis of three new multinuclear uranium nitride complexes, [U(BCMA)2]2(μ-N)(μ-κ1:κ1-BCMA) (7), [(U(BIMA)2)2(μ-N)(μ-NiPr)(K2(μ-η3:η3-CH2CHNiPr)]2 (8), and [U(BIMA)2]2(μ-N)(μ-κ1:κ1-BIMA) (9) (BCMA = N,N-bis(cyclohexyl)methylamidinate, BIMA = N,N-bis(iso-propyl)methylamidinate), from U(III) and U(IV) amidinate precursors. By varying the amidinate ligand substituents and azide source, we were able to influence the composition and size of these nitride complexes. 15N isotopic labeling experiments confirmed the bridging nitride moieties in 7-9 were formed via two-electron reduction of azide. The tetra-uranium cluster 8 was isolated in 99% yield via reductive cleavage of the amidinate ligands; this unusual molecule contains nitrogen-based ligands with formal 1-, 2-, and 3- charges. Additionally, chemical oxidation of the U(IV) precursor U(N3)(BCMA)3 yielded the cationic U(V) species [U(N3)(BCMA)3][OTf]. Magnetic susceptibility measurements confirmed a U(IV) oxidation state for the uranium centers in the three nitride-bridged complexes and provided a comparison of magnetic behavior in the structurally related U(III)-U(IV)-U(V) series U(BCMA)3, U(N3)(BCMA)3, and [U(N3)(BCMA)3][OTf]. At 240 K, the magnetic moments in this series decreased with increasing oxidation state, i.e., U(III) > U(IV) > U(V); this trend follows the decreasing number of 5f valence electrons along this series.

Abstract
Polytopic ligands have become ubiquitous in coordination chemistry because they grant access to a variety of mono- and polynuclear complexes of transition metals as well as rare-earth and main-group elements. Nitrogen-based ditopic ligands, in which two monoanionic N,N-binding sites are framed within one molecule, are of particular importance and are therefore the primary focus of this review. In detail, bis(amidine)s, bis(guanidine)s, bis(β-diimine)s, bis(aminotroponimine)s, bis(pyrrolimine)s, and miscellaneous bis(N,N-chelating) ligands are reviewed. In addition to the general synthetic protocols, the application of these ligands is discussed along with their coordination chemistry, the multifarious binding modes, and the ability of these ligands to bridge two (or more) metal(loids).

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
New tris-amidinate actinide (Th, U) complexes containing a rare O-bound terminal phosphaethynolate (OCP - ) ligand were synthesized and fully characterized. The cyanate (OCN - ) and thiocyanate (SCN - ) analogs were prepared for comparison and feature a preferential N-coordination to the actinide metals. The Th(amid)3(OCP) complex reacts with Ni(COD)2 to yield the heterobimetallic adduct (amid) 3 Th(μ-η 1 (O):η 2 (C,P)-OCP)Ni(COD) featuring an unprecedented reduced (OCP - ) bent fragment bridging the two metals.
