This review summarizes the recent developments regarding the use of uranium as nuclear
fuel, including recycling and health aspects, elucidated from a chemical point of view, ie …

The articulation of the notion of “frustrated Lewis pairs”(FLPs) emerged from the discovery
that H2 can be reversibly activated by combinations of sterically encumbered main group …

Catalysis remains one of the final frontiers in molecular uranium chemistry. Depleted
uranium is mildly radioactive, continuously generated in large quantities from the production …

Determining the nature and extent of covalency of early actinide chemical bonding is a
fundamentally important challenge. Recently, X-ray absorption, electron paramagnetic, and …

Uranium nitrides play important roles in dinitrogen activation and functionalization and in
chemistry for nuclear fuels, but the synthesis and isolation of the highly reactive uranium (VI) …

Iron nitrides are key intermediates in biological nitrogen fixation and the industrial Haber–
Bosch process, used to form ammonia from dinitrogen. However, the proposed successive …

The conversion of N2 to NH3 holds great importance due to the essential role of NH3 in
fertilizer production, energy storage and the synthesis of key industrial chemicals …

The chemistry of actinide-nitrides has witnessed significant advances in the last ten years
with a large focus on uranium and a few breakthroughs with thorium. Following the early …

We report on a systematic computational study of ideal strengths, ie, the lowest stresses
needed to destabilize a perfect crystal under a variety of loading conditions for six stable and …

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal di-nitrides (TMN2) have been arousing great interest
for their unique mechanic, electronic, optoelectronic, and magnetic properties. The recent …
