The effective separation of trivalent actinides and lanthanides is capable of reducing the
long term radiation hazard associated with used nuclear fuel. This class of separation …

Californium (Cf) is currently the heaviest element accessible above microgram quantities. Cf
isotopes impose severe experimental challenges due to their scarcity and radiological …

Efficient dispersion corrections are an indispensable component of modern density
functional theory, semi-empirical quantum mechanical, and even force field methods. In this …

Curium is unique in the actinide series because its half-filled 5 f 7 shell has lower energy
than other 5 fn configurations, rendering it both redox-inactive and resistant to forming …

Effective separation and recovery of chemically similar transplutonium elements from
adjacent actinides is extremely challenging in spent fuel reprocessing. Deep …

Advancing the field of chemical separations is important for nearly every area of science and
technology. Some of the most challenging separations are associated with the americium …

Comparison of bonding and electronic structural features between trivalent lanthanide (Ln)
and actinide (An) complexes across homologous series' of molecules can provide insights …

A major chemical challenge facing implementation of 225Ac in targeted alpha therapy—an
emerging technology that has potential for treatment of disease—is identifying an 225Ac …

Using a redox-active dioxophenoxazine ligand, DOPO (DOPO= 2, 4, 6, 8-tetra-tert-butyl-1-
oxo-1 H-phenoxazine-9-olate), a family of actinide (U, Th, Np, and Pu) and Hf tris (ligand) …

The merging of small‐scale syntheses and rapid crystallization methods have provided
access to crystalline samples of berkelium (Z= 97) and californium (Z= 98) coordination …
