Popov’s Praseodymium in the formal +5 oxidation state research published in the April 2025 issue of Nature Chemistry. This collaborative study presents groundbreaking research on the first molecular praseodymium complex in the formal +5 oxidation state. This discovery, achieved through joint experimental and theoretical efforts, establishes a long-sought connection between the redox chemistry of lanthanides, transition metals, and actinides.
