Two-Electron Reductive Carbonylation of Terminal Uranium(V) and Uranium(VI) Nitrides to Cyanate by Carbon Monoxide (2014)
Journal Article
Cleaves, P. A., King, D. M., Kefalidis, C. E., Maron, L., Tuna, F., McInnes, E. J., …Liddle, S. T. (2014). Two-Electron Reductive Carbonylation of Terminal Uranium(V) and Uranium(VI) Nitrides to Cyanate by Carbon Monoxide. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 53(39), 10412-10415. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201406203

Two-electron reductive carbonylation of the uranium(VI) nitride [U(TrenTIPS)(N)] (2, TrenTIPS=N(CH2CH2NSiiPr3)3) with CO gave the uranium(IV) cyanate [U(TrenTIPS)(NCO)] (3). KC8 reduction of 3 resulted in cyanate dissociation to give [U(TrenTIPS)] (4...

Photochemical Dihydrogen Production Using an Analogue of the Active Site of [NiFe] Hydrogenase (2014)
Journal Article
Summers, P. A., Dawson, J., Ghiotto, F., Hanson-Heine, M. W., Vuong, K. . Q., Davies, E. S., …Schröder, M. (2014). Photochemical Dihydrogen Production Using an Analogue of the Active Site of [NiFe] Hydrogenase. Inorganic Chemistry, 53(9), 4430-4439. https://doi.org/10.1021/ic500089b

The photoproduction of dihydrogen (H2) by a low molecular weight analogue of the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenase has been investigated by the reduction of the [NiFe2] cluster, 1, by a photosensitier PS (PS = [ReCl(CO)3(bpy)] or [Ru(bpy)3][PF6]2). R... Read More about Photochemical Dihydrogen Production Using an Analogue of the Active Site of [NiFe] Hydrogenase.
