Uranium(IV) and Thorium(IV) Coordination Polymers Based on Tritopic Carboxylic Acids

Rosario Scopelliti, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Aurélien René Willauer, Wendy Lee Queen, Till Marian Schertenleib

Rigidtritopic linkers of different sizes were used to buildporous U-(IV) and Th-(IV) 3D frameworks. The charge of the polymerscould be tuned by reaction conditions such as the temperature, pH,solvent, ligand, or metal precursor, yielding a series of neutra ...

Structure, reactivity and luminescence studies of triphenylsiloxide complexes of tetravalent lanthanides

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Aurélien René Willauer

Among the 14 lanthanide elements (Ce-Lu), until recently, the tetravalent oxidation state was readily accessible in solution only for cerium while Pr(iv), Nd(iv), Dy(iv) and Tb(iv) had only been detected in the solid state. The triphenylsiloxide ligand rec ...

Structure and Reactivity of Polynuclear Divalent Lanthanide Disiloxanediolate Complexes br

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Aurélien René Willauer

Trinuclear molecular complexes of europium (II)and ytterbium(II) [Ln3{(Ph2SiO)2O}3(THF)6],1-Ln3L3(Ln = Euand Yb), supported by the dianionic tetraphenyl disiloxanediolateligand, were synthesized via protonolysis of the [Ln{N-(SiMe3)2}2(THF)2] complexes. In ...

Stabilizing Unusual Oxidation States of Lanthanides in Molecular Complexes: Synthesis, Properties, and Reactivity

Aurélien René Willauer

The chemistry of divalent lanthanides has generated increasing interest in the past years due to their redox properties and unique reaction pathways. Notably, molecular complexes of low-valent lanthanides have been shown to be suitable one-electron reducta ...

Hot Carrier Mobility Dynamics Unravel Competing Subpicosecond Processes in Lead Halide Perovskites

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei, Arun Aby Paraecattil, Aurélien René Willauer, Andrés Burgos Caminal, Juan Manuel Moreno Naranjo

The mechanisms behind the large photocarrier diffusion length and the outstanding photovoltaic performances of lead halide perovskites (LHP) are still debated. Hot carrier cooling and the formation of polarons are central to the charge separation process. ...

Structure and small molecule activation reactivity of a metallasilsesquioxane of divalent ytterbium

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Aurélien René Willauer

The first metallasilsesquioxane of a divalent lanthanide, Yb{Cy7Si7O11(OSiMe3)}(THF),1, was synthesized and structurally characterized. The Cy7Si7O11(OSiMe3)(2-)ligands in1bind two Yb(ii) ions in a bridging mode. The dinuclear complex effects the two- ...

Accessing the plus IV Oxidation State in Molecular Complexes of Praseodymium

Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Aurélien René Willauer

Out of the 14 lanthanide (Ln) ions, molecular complexes of Ln(IV) were known only for cerium and more recently terbium. Here we demonstrate that the +IV oxidation state is also accessible for the large praseodymium (Pr) cation. The oxidation of the tetraki ...

Stabilization of the Oxidation State plus IV in Siloxide-Supported Terbium Compounds

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Aurélien René Willauer

The synthesis of lanthanides other than cerium in the oxidation state +IV has remained a desirable but unmet target until recently, when two examples of Tb-IV with saturated coordination spheres were isolated. Here we report the third example of an isolate ...
