Two complex layered uranyl borates, K10[(UO2)16(B2O5)2(BO3)6O8]·7H2O (1) and K13[(UO2)19(UO4)(B2O5)2(BO3)6(OH)2O5]·H2O (2), were isolated from supercritical water reactions. Within these compounds, borate exists only as BO3 units and is found as either isolated BO3 triangles or B2O5 dimers, the latter being formed from corner sharing of two BO3 units. These anions, along with oxide and hydroxide, bridge between uranyl centers to create the complex layers in these compounds. U(VI) cations are found within uranyl, UO2(2+) units, that are bound by four or five oxygen atoms to create tetragonal and pentagonal bipyramidal environments. The most striking feature in this system is found in 2, where a [UO4(OH)2] unit exists that contains U(V) within a tetraoxo core with trans hydroxide anions; therefore, this compound is a mixed-valent U(VI)/U(V) borate. The presence of a 5f(1) uranium site within 2 leads to unusual optical properties.

We disclose the intrinsic semiconducting properties of one of the largest mixed-valent uranium clusters, [H O ][U (U O ) (μ -O) (PhCOO) (Py(CH O) ) (DMF) ] (Ph=phenyl, Py=pyridyl, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide) (1). Single-crystal X-ray crystallography demonstrates that U center is stabilized within a tetraoxo core surrounded by eight uranyl(VI) pentagonal bipyramidal centers. The oxidation states of uranium are substantiated by spectroscopic data and magnetic susceptibility measurement.

The photoionization dynamics of OsO and RuO, chosen as model systems of small-size mononuclear heavy-metal complexes, has been theoretically studied by the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). Accurate experimental measurements of photoionization dynamics as a benchmarking test for the theory are reported for the photoelectron asymmetry parameters of outer valence ionizations of OsO, measured in the 17-90 eV photon energy range. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

Bisquinolizidine alkaloids are characterized by a chiral bispidine core (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) to which combinations of an α,N-fused 2-pyridone, an endo- or exo-α,N-annulated piperidin(on)e, and an exo-allyl substituent are attached.
