Long thought to have no biological role, lanthanides have been shown recently to be essential enzyme cofactors in certain bacteria…

Often unknown to the general public and largely eclipsed by organic compounds, polyoxometalates (POMs) nonethless represent one of the most diverse and modular classes of materials. This presentation will review recent “out-of-the-box” utilizations of POMs…

The emergence of new f-element radioisotopes for use in medicine, combined with a continued push to understand the fundamental properties of heavy elements at the bottom of the periodic table, call for an expansion of actinide chemistry to novel chelators, beyond the classic small ligands and organ…

Obtaining detailed structural information on transuranic compounds is notoriously rare and difficult. The synthesis of transuranic compounds and their characterization is largely hampered by radioactivity constraints, the lack of rad-compatible facilities, and the high cost of research isotopes…
