This year the meeting is co-chaired by Dr. Lynda Soderholm (Argonne National Laboratory) and Professor Sue Clark (Washington State University). The Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences and its predecessors have sponsored research in heavy element chemistry and separations sciences for some sixty years. Although these are distinct disciplines, they have much in common for many reasons, in particular because novel separations research is needed to produce pure heavy-element samples and because heavy element chemistry provides the basis for many separations processes. In addition, separation processes are major industrial sources of energy consumption and waste generation. This is the fifth joint meeting of these programs. The objective of this meeting is to provide a fruitful environment in which researchers with common interests will present and exchange information about their activities, will build collaborations among research groups with mutually reinforcing strengths, will identify needs of the research community, and will focus on opportunities for future research directions. The agenda includes invited talks, oral presentations, as well as invited and regular posters, organized so that papers in related disciplines are loosely clustered together. Invited presentations this year include oral and poster presentations representing an Energy Frontier Research Center and related programs in DOE Office of Nuclear Energy. With ample time for discussion and interactions, we emphasize that this is an informal meeting for exchange of information and building of collaborations; it is not a review of researchers’ achievements or a forum to choose future directions. We are pleased to collaborate with Lynda Soderholm and Sue Clark in organizing this joint meeting and appreciate their service to this community. We also appreciate the privilege of serving as the managers of our respective research programs. In carrying out these tasks, we learn from the achievements and share the excitement of the research of the many sponsored scientists and students whose names appear on the papers in the following pages. We also hope that this meeting will enhance your research efforts and will nurture future collaborations and initiatives. We thank all of the researchers whose dedication and innovation have advanced our research and made this meeting possible and, we hope, productive. We also hope that all of you will build on your successes and that we will assemble in two years for our next joint meeting. We thank Diane Marceau of the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division, and Tim Ledford and Connie Lansdon of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for their important contributions to the technical and logistical features of this meeting.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Transition-Metal-Bridged Bimetallic Clusters with Multiple Uranium–Metal Bonds
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-018-0195-4 Transition-metal-bridged bimetallic clusters with multiple uranium–metal bonds Genfeng Feng1, Mingxing Zhang1, Dong Shao 1, Xinyi Wang1, Shuao Wang2, Laurent Maron 3* and Congqing Zhu 1* Heterometallic clusters are important in catalysis and small-molecule activation because of the multimetallic synergistic effects from different metals. However, multimetallic species that contain uranium–metal bonds remain very scarce due to the difficulties in their synthesis. Here we present a straightforward strategy to construct a series of heterometallic clusters with multiple uranium–metal bonds. These complexes were created by facile reactions of a uranium precursor with Ni(COD)2 (COD, cyclooctadiene). The multimetallic clusters’ cores are supported by a heptadentate N4P3 scaffold. Theoretical investigations indicate the formation of uranium–nickel bonds in a U2Ni2 and a U2Ni3 species, but also show that they exhibit a uranium–ura- nium interaction; thus, the electronic configuration of uranium in these species is U(III)-5f26d1. This study provides further understanding of the bonding between f-block elements and transition metals, which may allow the construction of d–f hetero- metallic clusters and the investigation of their potential applications. ultimetallic molecules are of great interest because of This study offers a new opportunity to investigate d− f heteromul- their fascinating structures and multimetallic synergistic timetallic clusters with multiple uranium–metal bonds for small- Meffects for catalysis and small molecule activation1–7.

This chapter introduces the basic principles of actinide catalysis and deals with the historic development of actinide complexes in catalytic processes. The application of organoactinides in homogeneous catalysis is exemplified in the hydroelementation reactions, such as the hydroamination, hydrosilylation, hydroalkoxylation and hydrothiolation of alkynes. Additionally, the use of actinide coordination complexes for the catalytic polymerization of α-olefins and the ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters is presented. The last part of this review article highlights novel catalytic transformations mediated by actinide compounds and gives an outlook to the further potential of this field. Keywords: organoactinides; actinide coordination complexes; homogeneous catalysis; hydroelementations; polymerization of olefins; ROP; activation of heterocumulenes 1. Introduction The beginning of modern organoactinide chemistry is often attributed to the synthesis of 8 uranocene, [(η -C8H8)2U] in 1968, as the analogous compound to ferrocene and other transition metal metallocenes [1,2].
