Our recent work captured on the cover of Inorganic Chemistry! The rare-earth complexation with diglycolamides appears to be quite tunable based on the acid concentration during the liquid-liquid extraction. Follow the link for more details: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

One of the many firsts we report in this work is the direct observation of carbonate species during chemisorption at the air/water interface with sum frequency generation spectroscopy! Great work by Zhiwei , Mokhtar Rashwan et al. HESS Group

A combination of small angle X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations allowed to us to gain insights into the water extraction and subsequent aggregation mechanisms within malonamide-alkane mixtures. More details in our recent work in PCCP: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Do you need a convenient starting material for your transuranic non-aqueous chemistry needs? We present synthesis of neptunyl and plutonyl acetates as useful precursors to access transuranium non-aqueous coordination chemistry. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

EM's Test Bed Initiative demonstration is underway! Hanford Site workers are installing equipment to demonstrate how an alternative treatment technology could safely accelerate cleanup of radioactive tank waste. Read: bit.ly/4dyyAdJ Watch: bit.ly/3AhQH9C
