  • The synthesis and isolation of uranium(VI) nitride complexes remains challenging. Here, the authors report an example of transition metal (TM) stabilized U(VI) nitride complexes, generated via photolysis of azide-bridged U(IV)-TM precursors.

  • Nucleophilic alkylation of aromatics with main group reagents was achieved, but it is limited to a stoichiometric regime. Here, the authors report that the ytterbium(II) hydride reacts with ethene and propene to afford ytterbium(II) n-alkyls, both of which can facilitate the catalytic alkylation of benzene at room temperature via an SN2 mechanism.

  • Disproportion of uranium(IV) is rare, as it is usually the stable product of uranium(III) or (V) disproportionation. Here, the authors report uranium(IV) disproportionation to uranium(III) and (V) revealing ligand and solvent control over a key thermodynamic property of uranium

  • Despite their importance as mechanistic models for Haber Bosch ammonia synthesis from N2 and H2, high oxidation state terminal metal-nitrides are notoriously unreactive towards H2. Here, the authors report hydrogenolysis of a uranium(V)-nitride, which can occur directly or by Frustrated Lewis Pair chemistry with a borane ancillary.
