Interested in how fine tuning of reaction conditions and judicious choice of oxidising agent can lead to isolation of rare Pr(IV) complexes...the answer is here! Thanks to all my collaborators for this wonderful chemistry. @ChemicalScience.rsc.org
Accessing homoleptic neutral and anionic five-coordinate Pr(IV) siloxide complexes
Structurally characterized Pr(iv) complexes are limited to four examples because the ligands and reaction conditions capable of stabilizing Pr(iv) remain elusive. Here we identify reaction conditions ...

Interested in single crystal to single crystal ring opening reaction and participation of 4f orbital here is recent article @natchem.nature.com by Schelter’s group and team!!
4f-orbital covalency enables a single-crystal-to-single-crystal ring-opening isomerization in a CeIV–cyclopropenyl complex - Nature Chemistry
Computational and spectroscopic studies of molecular lanthanide complexes have implicated 4f orbitals in metal–ligand bonding interactions. Now, a comparative study of isostructural d-block, actinide ...

We are excited to share praseodymium 5+! Finally in print!
A new PR for Pr!

Praseodymium in the formal +5 oxidation state
Nature Chemistry - The most common oxidation state for lanthanide elements is +3, and, beyond cerium, examples of these elements exhibiting higher oxidation states remain scarce. Now, a molecular...

Valence-delocalized trithorium nanocluster superatoms with open-shell exalted diamagnetism - Nature Chemistry
Superatoms are metal clusters that collectively behave like an atom, but they usually require metal–metal bonding and thus they are based on main group or transition metals. Now it has been shown that...
