Electroanalytical Characterization of Np(VI)/Np(V) Redox in a Pentadentate Ligand Environment and Stabilization of Np(V) by Hydrogen Bonding | ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/3Z1ffOr Another paper with the Blakemore Group at KU with trans-U chemistry.

The plutonium is getting festive HESS Group in the hands of @KravchukChem

Gone fishing in the plutonium pond with @KravchukChem. Fish on! HESS Group

Go big or go home Emily Mikeska: Texas sized Np and Pu compounds

Moonrise in the UP.

Redox chemistry of high-valent transuranic elements in non-aqueous media has received far less attention than it deserves. Our latest study on electrochemistry of Np(VI)/Np(V) in organic media is out now in DaltonTransactions | pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
