Actinide metal-organic frameworks (An-MOFs) consisting of actinide nodes and organic
linkers represent an underexplored category of coordination polymers due to challenges in …

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

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

Despite the availability of transuranic elements increasing in recent years, our
understanding of their most basic and inherent radiation chemistry is limited and yet …

Covalency is often considered to be an influential factor in driving An3+ vs. Ln3+ selectivity
invoked by soft donor ligands. This is intensely debated, particularly the extent to which …

We report the small‐scale synthesis, isolated yield, single‐crystal X‐ray structure, 1H NMR
solution spectroscopy/solid‐state UV/Vis‐nIR spectroscopy, and density functional theory …

There is significant interest in ligands that can stabilize actinide ions in oxidation states that
can be exploited to chemically differentiate 5f and 4f elements. Applications range from …

Low-valent uranium coordination chemistry continues to rely heavily on access to trivalent
starting materials, but these reagents are typically prepared from uranium turnings, which …

An approach to obtaining substantial amounts of data from a hazardous starting material that
can only be obtained and handled in small quantities is demonstrated by the investigation of …

Direct comparison of homologous molecules provides a foundation from which to elucidate
both subtle and patent changes in reactivity patterns, redox processes, and bonding …
