The presence of covalency in complexes of the 4f and 5f elements has been a source of
intense research and controversy. In addition to academic interest in this debate, there is an …

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 …

1.1 Background The modelling of the behaviour of hazardous materials under
environmental conditions is among the most important applications of natural and technical …

One of the long standing debates in actinide chemistry is the level of localization and
participation of the actinide 5 f valence orbitals in covalent bonds across the actinide series …

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 …

Uranyl diacetate dihydrate is a useful reagent for the preparation of uranyl (UO22+)
coordination complexes, as it is a well-defined stoichiometric compound featuring …

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements was used at the U L3-edge to directly
determine the pH dependence of the cell wall functional groups responsible for the …

Uranium occurs in the environment predominantly as the uranyl dication [UO2] 2+. Its
solubility renders this species a problematic contaminant,, which is, moreover, chemically …

The title compounds,[AnO2 (H2O) 5] n+, n= 1 or 2 and An= U, Np, and Pu, are studied using
relativistic density functional theory (DFT). Three rather different relativistic methods are …
