Uranyl (UO22+) is an exceptionally stable molecular species, characterized by a linear OUO
geometry and short U–O bonds. Its two oxo ligands are thought to be inert to exchange and …

Interest in the chemistry of the early actinide elements (notably uranium through americium)
usually results either from the nuclear waste problem or the unique chemistry of these …

This Feature Article seeks to present the current state of knowledge, both experimental and
theoretical, of the electronic structure and bonding in actinyl ions and related species, such …

By 1911, the atomic weight of uranium had been refined to 238.5 (Gmelin, vol. A2, 1980a).
The natural isotope 235 U was discovered in 1935 by mass spectrometry. The artificial …

The tetramethylammonium counterion was used to suppress formation of insoluble uranate
salts, M2U2O7, and allow for a detailed structural and spectroscopic characterization of UO2 …

This study identifies how the amidoximate anion, AO, interacts with the uranyl cation,
UO22+. Density functional theory calculations have been used to evaluate possible binding …

The structures and vibrational frequencies of UO2 (H2O) 52+, NpO2 (H2O) 52+, and PuO2
(H2O) 52+ corresponding to An (VI) oxidation states and UO2 (H2O) 5+, Np (H2O) 5+, and …

The subject of this article, the application of density functional theory (DFT) to molecular
systems containing actinide elements, is discussed in two parts. In the first part, a survey is …

This review describes recent computational investigations into the electronic and geometric
structures of molecular actinide compounds. Following brief introductions to (i) the effects of …

The emphasis of this review is on the combination of experimental and theoretical methods
to obtain microscopic information on the chemistry of actinides in aqueous solution. A brief …
