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 …

A comprehensive review of the thermodynamic properties of the oxide compounds of the
lanthanide and actinide elements is presented. The available literature data for the solid …

Proudly serving the scientific community for over a century, this 97th edition of the CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is an update of a classic reference, mirroring the growth …

Neptunium was the first actinide element to be artificially synthesized, yet, compared with its
more famous neighbours uranium and plutonium, is less conspicuously studied. Most …

Actinides are the heaviest chemical elements with practical relevance. Among them, only
thorium and uranium can be found in nature in substantial quantities, while natural …

Capture and activation of the water-soluble uranyl dication (UO22+) remains a challenging
problem, as few rational approaches are available for modulating the reactivity of this …

Solid-state uranyl hybrid structures are often formed through unique intermolecular
interactions occurring between a molecular uranyl anion and a charge-balancing cation. In …

Actinide compounds are very intriguing objects for the quantum chemistry because, on the
one hand, these compounds are of great scientific and technological interest and, on the …

High-level electronic structure calculations were conducted to examine the bonding and
spectroscopic properties of the UO0/±and UF0/±diatomic molecules. The low-lying Ω states …

Guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry was used to examine the kinetic energy
dependent reactions of U+ with O2 and CO. In the reaction of U+ with O2, the UO+ product is …
