Prior to the year 2000, non‐aqueous uranium chemistry mainly involved metallocene and
classical alkyl, amide, or alkoxide compounds as well as established carbene, imido, and …

In the last few years, considerable progress has been made in the synthesis and
characterization of complexes containing actinide–ligand multiple bonds, especially in …

Understanding and exploiting the redox properties of uranium is of great importance
because uranium has a wide range of possible oxidation states and holds great potential for …

Two-electron oxidations are ubiquitous and play a key role in the synthesis and catalysis.
For transition metals and actinides, two-electron oxidation often takes place at a single-metal …

Actinide-ligand bonds with high multiplicities remain poorly understood. Decades ago, an
effect known as 6p pushing from below (PFB) was proposed to enhance actinide covalency …

Most homogeneous catalysis relies on the design of metal complexes to trap and convert
substrates or small molecules to value‐added products. Organometallic lanthanide …

Since uranium has several common paramagnetic oxidation states, ie, 5f 1 U5+, 5f 2 U4+,
and 5f 3 U3+, one of the analytical methods commonly used for characterizing uranium …

The nature and extent of covalency in uranium bonding is still unclear compared with that of
transition metals, and there is great interest in studying uranium–ligand multiple bonds …

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) …
