TL;DR: In this paper, UO2Cl2(thf)3 was treated with two equivalents of 1,3dimesitylimidazole-2-ylidene (IMes) and 4,5dichloroimidazoles-2ylidenes (IMeCl2) to obtain the first actinyl carbon bonds.

TL;DR: Room temperature ionic liquids composed of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions and 1,3-ethylmethylimidazolium (EMI) cations are shown to stabilize monomeric ligand deficient transition metal complexes via four distinct binding modes.

TL;DR: Spectroscopic data and comproportionation constants are consistent with relatively weak interactions between the diimine groups mediated by the paracyclophane bridging group, and these results are consistentWith steric and electronic factors.

TL;DR: A multi-agency workshop was held from 25 to 27 August 2009, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to identify and prioritize the development of radioanalytical certified reference materials (CRMs, generally provided by National Metrology Institutes; Standard Reference Materials, a CRM issued by NIST) for field and laboratory nuclear measurement methods to assess the consequences of a domestic or international nuclear event as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: An approach to measuring extinct fission products that would allow for the characterization of a nuclear test at any time is described and new estimates of the efficiency and yield of the historic Trinity test are presented.
