AbstractPraseodymium in the +5 oxidation state is a long-sought connection between lanthanide, early-transition and actinide metal redox chemistries. Unique among the lanthanide series, evidence for molecular pentavalent praseodymium species has been observed in the gas phase and noble gas matrix isolation conditions.

Cyclic thiocarbonyl compounds have recently become attractive monomers for the radical polymerization of degradable polymers. (1,2) These moieties provide an advantage when compared to the analogous cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) (3) because of their stability under ambient conditions, synthetic versatility, reduced side reactions during polymerization, and the thermodynamically favored formation of the carbonyl group upon ring opening.
