- An option of increasing the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN to 1035 cm-2 s-1 has been envisaged to extend the physics reach of the machine. An efficient tracking down to a few centimetres from the interaction point will be required to exploit the physics potential of the upgraded LHC. As a consequence, the semiconductor detectors close to the interaction region will receive severe doses of fast hadron irradiation and the inner tracker detectors will need to survive fast hadron fluences of up to above 1016cm-2. The CERN-RD50 project "Development of Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for Very High Luminosity Colliders" has been established in 2002 to explore detector materials and technologies that will allow to operate devices up to, or beyond, this limit. The strategies followed by RD50 to enhance the radiation tolerance include the development of new or defect engineered detector materials (SiC, GaN, Czochralski and epitaxial silicon, oxygen enriched Float Zone silicon), the improvement of present detector designs and the understanding of the microscopic defects causing the degradation of the irradiated detectors. The latest advancements within the RD50 collaboration on radiation hard semiconductor detectors will be reviewed and discussed in this work.

- The reactions of [Pt(NH3)(2)((NHCOBu)-Bu-t)(2)] and TlX3 (X = NO3-, Cl-, CF3CO2-) yielded dinuclear [{Pt(ONO2)(NH3)(2-)((NHCOBu)-Bu-t)}Tl(ONO2)(2)(MeOH)] (2) and trinuclear complexes [{PtX(RNH2)(2)((NHCOBu)-Bu-t)(2)}(2)Tl](+) [X = NO3- (3), Cl- (5), CF3CO2- (6)], which were spectroscopically and structurally characterized. Strong Pt-Tl interaction in the complexes in solutions was indicated by both Pt-195 and Tl-205 NMR spectra, which exhibit very large one-bond spin-spin coupling constants between the heteronuclei ((1)J(PtTl)), 146.8 and 88.84 kHz for 2 and 3, respectively. Both the X-ray photoelectron spectra and the Pt-195 chemical shifts reveal that the complexes have Pt centers whose oxidation states are close to that of Pt-III. Characterization of these complexes by X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that the Pt and Tl atoms are held together by very short Pt-Tl bonds and are supported by the bridging amidate ligands. The Pt-Tl bonds are shorter than 2.6 angstrom, indicating a strong metal-metal attraction between these two metals. Compound 2 was found to activate the C-H bond of acetone to yield a platinum(IV) acetonate complex. This reactivity corresponds to the property of Pt-III complexes. Density functional theory calculations were able to reproduce the large magnitude of the metal-metal spin-spin coupling constants. The couplings are sensitive to the computational model because of a delicate balance of metal 6s contributions in the frontier orbitals. The computational analysis reveals the role of the axial ligands in the magnitude of the coupling constants.
