Maximising f-element oxidation states
The applicant is a rising early-career scientist with an international reputation in frontier rare earth and actinide science. This StG project melds synthesis and electrochemistry with computational and spectroscopic methods to afford a transformative advancement in electronic structure and oxidation state control in f-elements. By advancing our understanding of the design principles which influence the properties of these complexes, we propose to maximise their stability and expand beyond the current approaches to isolate molecular lanthanide species in unprecedented high oxidation states. We target high oxidation state lanthanide (Ln), actinide (An), and transuranium f-element complexes…
