  • The zinc–zinc bonded complex, Cp*ZnZnCp* (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), undergoes facile addition to the metal (or semi-metal) centres of a series of main group carbene analogues based on silicon, aluminium, gallium or indium. The addition of Cp*ZnZnCp* to silicon(II) provides a compelling case for a prototypical reductive addition process.

  • As the International Year of the Periodic Table came to an end in 2019, the authors reflect on the chemistry and physics that drive the periodic table of the elements. This includes aspects of periodic trends, relativistic electronic-structure theory, nuclear-structure theory and the astrophysical origin of the elements.

  • Advances in actinide chemistry have led to the isolation of a range of uranium–ligand multiple bonds, but analogous thorium complexes are rare. Here, the authors prepare thorium–arsenic complexes that are stabilized by bulky triamidoamine ligands and exhibit ThAsH2, ThAs(H)K, ThAs(H)Th and ThAsTh linkages.

  • Despite the burgeoning nature of uranium–ligand multiple bonding, analogous thorium complexes remain incredibly rare. Here the authors report evidence for a transient thorium–nitride species, which, together with data on parent imido derivatives, suggests that the pushing-from-below phenomenon may be more widespread than previously thought.

  • Multi-electron redox chemistry is important in transition-metal-mediated processes, but is rarely observed with uranium due to its propensity to undergo single-electron reactions. Now, uranium can use its electrons, coupled with those stored in redox-active ligands, to perform multi electron reduction of organoazides and form uranium tris(imido) derivatives.
