Electrochemical measurements on tris(cyclopentadienyl) thorium and uranium compounds in the +2, +3, and +4 oxidation states are reported with C5H3(SiMe3)2, C5H4SiMe3, and C5Me4H ligands. The reduction potentials for both U and...

Of particular interest within the +6 uranium complexes is the linear uranyl(vi) cation and it forms numerous coordination complexes in solution and exhibits incongruent redox behavior depending on coordinating ligands. This DFT study predicts VI/V reduction potentials of a range of uranyl(vi) complexes in non-aqueous solutions within ∼0.10−0.20 eV of experiment.

Gas-phase hydrolysis of lanthanide/actinide MO3(NO3)3−ions relates to the stabilities of the MIVoxidation states, which correlate with IV/III solution reduction potentials and 4th ionization energies.

Electrochemical interaction between the oxidizer and the metal is believed to play a key role in material removal in tungsten CMP. In this study, we use X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) in conjunction with electrochemical measurements in both in-situ polishing conditions as well as in static solutions, to identify the passivation and dissolution modes of tungsten. Dissolution of tungsten oxides was found to be the primary non-mechanical tungsten removal mechanism in CMP.

<p>Frost diagrams provide convenient illustrations of the aqueous reduction potentials and thermodynamic tendencies of different oxidation states of an element. Undergraduate textbooks often describe the lowest point on a Frost diagram as the most stable oxidation state of the element, but this interpretation is incorrect because the thermodynamic stability of each oxidation state depends on the specific redox conditions in solution (i.e., the potential applied by the environment or an electrode). Further confusion is caused by the widespread use of different, contradictory conventions for labeling the y-axis of these diagrams as either n<i>E</i>° or −n<i>E</i>°, among other possibilities. To aid in discussing and correcting these common mistakes, we introduce a series of interactive Frost diagrams that illustrate the conditional dependence of the relative stabilities of each oxidation state of an element. We include instructor’s notes for using these interactive diagrams and a written activity for students to complete using these diagrams.</p>

The accumulation of nitrogen oxides in the environment calls for new pathways to interconvert the various oxidation states of nitrogen, and especially their reduction. The large spectrum of reduction potentials...
