Abstract:

In this presentation, we will focus on the performance of an efficient interplay between experience and theory to elucidate the reactivity of actinide-catalyzed small molecule activation reactions. Based on the theoretical description of N2 activation to yield Ammonia or O2 activation, we will demonstrate that synergistic effects between Uranium(III) and transition metal but also with non-metal, such as phosphorus, allow facile direct full activation of N2 and O2 under ambient conditions.
