Contrasting behaviour under pressure reveals the reasons for pyramidalization in tris(amido)uranium(III) and tris(arylthiolate) uranium(III) molecules

The reasons for which many low-coordinate complexes exhibit bent geometry, rather than a higher symmetry, are still under debate. Here, the authors use high-pressure crystallography to examine whether low-coordinate f-block molecules become more planar or pyramidal under pressure; which happens is dictated by the dipole moment of the complex and the volume of the planar form.

Sport hunting associated with favourable conservation status of mammals

While controversial, the practice of sport hunting has been argued to incentivize the conservation of various animal species. This study provides evidence that can facilitate further discussion for multifunctional land use in traditional societies.

The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes

Analysis of 273 ancient horse genomes reveals that modern domestic horses originated in the Western Eurasian steppes, especially the lower Volga-Don region.

Doping-induced disappearance of ice II from water’s phase diagram

The many phases of water ice continue to be fertile ground for surprising discoveries. This latest study reveals that ice II vanishes from the phase diagram of water upon the addition of small amounts of ammonium fluoride.

Covalent bond shortening and distortion induced by pressurization of thorium, uranium, and neptunium tetrakis aryloxides

The properties of actinide complexes depend on the ionic versus covalent nature of the bonds. Here, the authors report that pressure can distort actinide-oxygen bonding; differences seen for Th, U and Np result from the decreasing size of the atoms.
