The work is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Metal dimer complexes with d 8 square planar metallic centers provide a class of configurable molecules that may have ...

Organometallic chemistry is the study of the synthesis ... Now a well-defined Th(III) dimer with a Th–Th two-centre one-electron (2c-1e) σ bond and a 2c-1e π bond is synthesized.
