The field of actinide chemistry is still young, not least because the radioactivity of these elements makes them difficult to work with. A study now reveals details of how actinide compounds might behave in water.

Polyoxometalates have been traditionally the subject of study of molecular inorganic chemistry. Yet, these polynuclear molecules, reminiscent of oxide clusters, present a wide range of structures and with them ideal frameworks for the deployment of a plethora of useful magnetic, electroionic, catalytic, bioactive and photochemical properties. With this in mind, a new trend towards the applicati...

An overview of spin contamination and its relationship to broken-symmetry wave functions are presented. Spinoperator expectation-value formulas are developed for use with generalized, unrestricted, and restricted spin orbitals. Currentprojection techniques are reviewed and illustrated for a variety of current theoretical methods.

series of tests of substances, organic and inorganic, he cannot fail to have acquired a good knowledge of chemistry, and what is even more important he cannot fail to have had his powers of exact observation stimulated and developed by such a course. We are also glad to see that Dr. Bedford has also included in his practical course several gravimetric and a good many volumetric estimation of th...

The substitution of ligands in octahedral metal complexes is the most extensively mechanistically studied inorganic reaction. It is of fundamental importance, and a number of important observations and results are found. Substitution in octahedral systems was initially studied for classical coordination complexes in aqueous solutions. More recently some important observations have been made reg...

Abstract: Main types of coordination compounds in modern inorganic chemistry are discussed. Principal synthesis techniques for metal complexes and the problem of competitive coordination of ambident hard-soft ligands are discussed. A considerable attention is paid to polyfunctional materials, obtained on the basis of coordination compounds, especially molecular magnetics, organic light-emitting...

The current review article attempts to cover the field of nanoporous materials, thereby materials with voids of the order of 1 nm to 100 nm or even larger. Concepts, that have an effect on a more general basis, are introduced and the common features among the different classes of nanoporous materials are demonstrated enabling understanding their formation and stability. It is seen that the most...
