in 2001 She moved to Cornell University for graduate studies, earning a master's degree in 2003 and a Ph.D. in 2006 working with Paul Chirik.
[4][5][6][7] After completing her graduate studies, Bart moved to the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg in Germany, where she worked a postdoctoral researcher with Karsten Meyer.
[10][11] Depleted uranium emits weak alpha particles with a long half-life, and has considerable potential in the activation of large substrates.
These ligands can store electrons in the π* orbitals of their conjugated backbone, which facilitates multi-electron redox chemistry.
[13] Bart has shown that it is possible to synthesize low-valent uranium alkyls, which avoids the U(IV) state and one-electron (radical) chemistry, the latter of which is harder to synthetically control.
