One of the most intensely studied areas of f-block chemistry is the nature of the bonds
between the f-element and another species, and in particular the role played by covalency …

We report the use of solution and solid-state 31P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy combined with Density Functional Theory calculations to benchmark the …

Recent developments in the chemistry of the transuranic elements are surveyed, with
particular emphasis on computational contributions. Examples are drawn from molecular …

Evaluating the nature of chemical bonding for actinide elements represents one of the most
important and long-standing problems in actinide science. We directly address this …

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

Actinide chemistry is gaining increased focus in modern research, particularly in the fields of
energy research and molecular magnetism. However, the structure–function and structure …

The fundamental redox chemistry and valence electronic structure of the lanthanides in
molecular complexes and extended solids continues to be a fertile area of research. The …

Understanding the bonding, reactivity and electronic structure of actinides is lagging behind
that of the rest of the periodic table. This can be partly explained by the challenges that one …

The chemical similarities between trivalent actinides [An (III)] and lanthanides [Ln (III)]
present a significant challenge in differentiating and separating them, which is a key step …

N, N, N′, N'-tetramethyl diglycolamide (TMDGA), a methylated variant of the diglycolamide
extractants being proposed as curium holdback reagents in advanced used nuclear fuel …
