Treatment of plutonium metal with 1.5 equiv of bromine in tetrahydrofuran (thf) led to isolation of PuBr3(thf)4 (1), which is a new versatile synthon for exploration of non-aqueous Pu(III) chemistry.

In the present work, the Halide Activated Pack Cementation (HAPC) was adopted to form protective aluminide coatings due to its versatility and low cost. Codeposition of Al and Si on Mar-M246 was ...

We present the first magnetic phase of an ionic liquid with anion−π interactions, which displays a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic ordering below the Néel temperature, TN = 7.7 K. In this material, ...
