Abstract
Treatment of Yb(II) complex [L2Yb(THF)2] (L = PhC(NSiMe3)2) with elemental sulfur, selenium or tellurium resulted in the isolation of a series of dinuclear Yb(III) complexes featuring side-on bound S32- (1), Se22- (2) or Te22- (3) moieties, respectively. Magnetic study on these complexes revealed that 3 is a rare lanthanide telluride single-molecule magnet (SMM).

Abstract
Although crown ethers can selectively bind many metal cations, little is known regarding the solution properties of crown ether complexes of the uranyl dication, UO22+. Here, the synthesis and characterization of isolable complexes in which the uranyl dication is bound in an 18-crown-6-like moiety are reported. A tailored macrocyclic ligand, templated with a Pt(II) center, captures UO22+ in the crown moiety, as demonstrated by results from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The U(V) oxidation state becomes accessible at a quite positive potential (E1/2) of -0.18 V vs Fc+/0 upon complexation, representing the most positive UVI/UV potential yet reported for the UO2n+ core. Isolation and characterization of the U(V) form of the crown complex are also reported here; there are no prior reports of reduced uranyl crown ether complexes, but U(V) is clearly stabilized by crown chelation. Joint computational studies show that the electronic structure of the U(V) form results in significant weakening of U-Ooxo bonding despite the quite positive reduction potential at which this species can be accessed, underscoring that crown-ligated uranyl species could demonstrate unique reactivity under only modestly reducing conditions.

Abstract
The thermostable four-coordinate divalent lanthanide (Ln) bis-amidinate complexes [Ln(Piso)2] (Ln = Tb, Dy; Piso = {(NDipp)2CtBu}, Dipp = C6H3iPr2-2,6) were prepared by the reduction of parent five-coordinate Ln(III) precursors [Ln(Piso)2I] (Ln = Tb, Dy) with KC8; halide abstraction of [Ln(Piso)2I] with [H(SiEt3)2][B(C6F5)] gave the respective Ln(III) complexes [Ln(Piso)2][B(C6F5)]. All complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, ICP-MS, elemental analysis, SQUID magnetometry, UV-vis-NIR, ATR-IR, NMR, and EPR spectroscopy and ab initio CASSCF-SO calculations. These data consistently show that [Ln(Piso)2] formally exhibit Ln(II) centers with 4fn5dz21 (Ln = Tb, n = 8; Dy, n = 9) valence electron configurations. We show that simple assignments of the f-d coupling to either L-S or J-s schemes are an oversimplification, especially in the presence of significant crystal field splitting. The coordination geometry of [Ln(Piso)2] is intermediate between square planar and tetrahedral. Projecting from the quaternary carbon atoms of the CN2 ligand backbones shows near-linear C···Ln···C arrangements. This results in strong axial ligand fields to give effective energy barriers to magnetic reversal of 1920(91) K for the Tb(II) analogue and 1964(48) K for Dy(II), the highest values observed for mononuclear Ln(II) single-molecule magnets, eclipsing 1738 K for [Tb(C5iPr5)2]. We tentatively attribute the fast zero-field magnetic relaxation for these complexes at low temperatures to transverse fields, resulting in considerable mixing of mJ states.

Abstract
Single-molecule magnets are molecular complexes proposed to be useful for information storage and quantum information processing applications. In the quest for multilevel systems that can act as Qudits, two dysprosium-based isotopologues were synthesized and characterized. The isotopologues are [164Dy2(tmhd)6(tape)] (1(I=0)) and [163Dy2(tmhd)6(tape)] (2(I=5/2)), where tmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptandionate and tape = 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene. Both complexes showed slow relaxation at a zero applied magnetic field with dominant Orbach and Raman relaxation mechanisms. μSQUID studies at milli-Kelvin temperatures reveal quasi-single ion loops, in contrast with the expected S-shape (near zero field) butterfly loops, characteristic of antiferromagnetically coupled dimeric complexes. Through analysis of the low-temperature data, we find that the interaction operating between Dy(III) is small, leading to a small exchange biasing from the zero-field transition. The resulting indirectly coupled nuclear states are degenerate or possess a small energy difference between them. We, therefore, conclude that for the creation of Qudits with enlarged Hilbert spaces, shorter Dy(III)···Dy(III) distances are deemed essential.

Abstract
The sterically bulky aryloxide ligand OAr* (OAr* = -OC6H2-Ad2-2,6tBu-4; Ad = 1-adamantyl) has been used to generate Ln(II) complexes across the lanthanide series that are more thermally stable than complexes of any other ligand system reported to date for 4fnd1 Ln(II) ions. The Ln(III) precursors Ln(OAr*)3 (1-Ln) were synthesized by reacting 1.2 equiv of Ln(NR2)3 (R = SiMe3) with 3 equiv of HOAr* for Ln = La, Ce, Nd, Gd, Dy, Yb, and Lu. 1-Ce, 1-Nd, 1-Gd, 1-Dy, and 1-Lu were identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Reductions of 1-Ln with potassium graphite (KC8) in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of 2.2.2-cryptand (crypt) yielded the Ln(II) complexes [K(crypt)][Ln(OAr*)3] (2-Ln). The 2-Ln complexes for Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy, and Lu were characterized by X-ray crystallography and found to have Ln-O bond distances 0.038-0.087 Å longer than those of their 1-Ln analogues; this is consistent with 4fn5d1 electron configurations. The structure of 2-Yb has Yb-O distances 0.167 Å longer than those predicted for 1-Yb, which is consistent with a 4f14 electron configuration. Although 2-La and 2-Ce proved to be challenging to isolate, with 18-crown-6 (18-c-6) as the potassium chelator, La(II) and Ce(II) complexes with OAr* could be isolated and crystallographically characterized: [K(18-c-6)][Ln(OAr*)3] (3-Ln). The Ln(II) complexes decompose at room temperature more slowly than other previously reported 4fn5d1 Ln(II) complexes. For example, only 30% decomposition of 2-Dy was observed after 30 h at room temperature compared to complete decomposition of [Dy(OAr')3]- and [DyCp'3]- under similar conditions (OAr' = OC6H2-2,6-tBu2-4-Me; Cp' = C5H4SiMe3).

Abstract
The reduction potentials (reported vs. Fc+/Fc) for a series of Cp'3Ln complexes (Cp' = C5H4SiMe3, Ln = lanthanide) were determined via electrochemistry in THF with [nBu4N][BPh4] as the supporting electrolyte. The Ln(III)/Ln(II) reduction potentials for Ln = Eu, Yb, Sm, and Tm (-1.07 to -2.83 V) follow the expected trend for stability of 4f7, 4f14, 4f6, and 4f13 Ln(II) ions, respectively. The reduction potentials for Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Lu, that form 4fn5d1 Ln(II) ions (n = 2-14), fall in a narrow range of -2.95 V to -3.14 V. Only cathodic events were observed for La and Ce at -3.36 V and -3.43 V, respectively. The reduction potentials of the Ln(II) compounds [K(2.2.2-cryptand)][Cp'3Ln] (Ln = Pr, Sm, Eu) match those of the Cp'3Ln complexes. The reduction potentials of nine (C5Me4H)3Ln complexes were also studied and found to be 0.05-0.24 V more negative than those of the Cp'3Ln compounds.

Abstract
The capacity of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to provide information on the electronic structure of molecular organometallic complexes of Ln(II) ions (Ln = lanthanide) has been examined for the first time. XPS spectra were obtained on the air-sensitive molecular trivalent 4fn Cp'3LnIII complexes (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb; Cp' = C5H4SiMe3) and compared to those of the highly reactive divalent complexes, [K(crypt)][Cp'3LnII] (crypt = 2.2.2-cryptand), which have either 4fn+1 (Sm, Eu) or 4fn5d1 electron configurations (Gd, Tb). The Ln 4d, Si 2p, and C 1s regions of the Ln(III) and Ln(II) complexes were identified and compared. The metal 4d peaks of these molecular lanthanide complexes were used diagnostically to compare oxidation states. The valence region of the Gd(III) and Gd(II) complexes was also examined with XPS and density function theory/random phase approximation (DFT/RPA) calculations, and this led to the tentative assignment of a signal from the 5d1 electron consistent with a 4f75d1 electron configuration for Gd(II).

Abstract
The magnetic properties of a series of organometallic complexes [LnCp3]- and Ln(CNT)2, where Cp = cyclopentadienyl and CNT = cyclononatetraenyl, of the lanthanide ions in the 2+ oxidation state, are theoretically studied in terms of the electronic structure obtained via multiconfigurational wave function-based methods. Calculations are performed for two groups of ion complexes selected based on their preferred electronic configuration 4fn+1 or 4fn5d1 (n is the number of f electrons in the 3+ ion). All the properties are discussed in terms of the electron density distribution of the ground state and ligand field effects. This analysis allows giving some molecular design strategies relevant to exploit the magnetic properties in applications like Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) for lanthanide ions in the 2+ oxidation state.

Abstract
An approach to obtaining substantial amounts of data from a hazardous starting material that can only be obtained and handled in small quantities is demonstrated by the investigation of a single small-scale reaction of cyclooctatetraene, C8H8, with a solution obtained from the reduction of Cp'3Pu (Cp' = C5H4SiMe3) with potassium graphite. This one reaction coupled with oxidation of a product has provided single-crystal X-ray structural data on three organoplutonium compounds as well as information on redox chemistry thereby demonstrating an efficient route to new reactivity and structural information on this highly radioactive element. The crystal structures were obtained from the reduction of C8H8 by a putative Pu(II) complex, (Cp'3PuII)1-, generated in situ, to form the Pu(III) cyclooctatetraenide complex, [K(crypt)][(C8H8)2PuIII], 1-Pu, and the tetra(cyclopentadienyl) Pu(III) complex, [K(crypt)][Cp'4PuIII], 2-Pu. Oxidation of the sample of 1-Pu with Ag(I) afforded a third organoplutonium complex that has been structurally characterized for the first time, (C8H8)2PuIV, 3-Pu. Complexes 1-Pu and 3-Pu contain Pu sandwiched between parallel (C8H8)2- rings. The (Cp'4PuIII)- anion in 2-Pu features three η5-Cp' rings and one η1-Cp' ring, which is a rare example of a formal Pu-C η1-bond. In addition, this study addresses the challenge of small-scale synthesis imparted by radiological and material availability of transuranium isotopes, in particular that of pure metal samples. A route to an anhydrous Pu(III) starting material from the more readily available PuIVO2 was developed to facilitate reproducible syntheses and allow complete spectroscopic analysis of 1-Pu and 2-Pu. PuIVO2 was converted to PuIIIBr3(DME)2 (DME = CH3OCH2CH2OCH3) and subsequently PuIIIBr3(THF)x, which was used to independently synthesize 1-Pu, 2-Pu, and 3-Pu.

Abstract
Lanthanide triflates have been used to incorporate NdIII and SmIII ions into the 2.2.2-cryptand ligand (crypt) to explore their reductive chemistry. The Ln(OTf)3 complexes (Ln=Nd, Sm; OTf=SO3 CF3 ) react with crypt in THF to form the THF-soluble complexes [LnIII (crypt)(OTf)2 ][OTf] with two triflates bound to the metal encapsulated in the crypt. Reduction of these LnIII -in-crypt complexes using KC8 in THF forms the neutral LnII -in-crypt triflate complexes [LnII (crypt)(OTf)2 ]. DFT calculations on [NdII (crypt)]2+ ], the first NdII cryptand complex, assign a 4f4 electron configuration to this ion.
