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

Due to the increased attention given to actinide nanomaterials, the question of their structure–
property relationship is on the spotlight of recent publications. Plutonium oxide (PuO2) …

We report the synthesis and characterization of the first plutonium metal–organic framework
(MOF). Pu-UiO-66 expands the established UiO-66 series, which includes transition metal …

Crystallization at the solid–liquid interface is difficult to spectroscopically observe and
therefore challenging to understand and ultimately control at the molecular level. The Ce70 …

The nanoscience field often produces results more mystifying than any other discipline. It
has been argued that changes in the plutonium dioxide (PuO2) particle size from bulk to …

Superatoms are nanometer-sized molecules or particles that form ordered lattices,
mimicking their atomic counterparts. Hierarchical assembly of superatoms gives rise to …

Cerium-oxo clusters have applications in fields ranging from catalysis to electronics and also
hold the potential to inform on aspects of actinide chemistry. Toward this end, a cerium …

Fundamental knowledge about plutonium intrinsic colloids is a key issue for the prediction of
plutonium transport and release rates in the environment. Recent studies demonstrated that …

The structural characterisation of actinide nanoparticles (NPs) is of primary importance and
hard to achieve, especially for non‐homogeneous samples with NPs less than 3 nm. By …

We report the structural properties of ultra-small ThO2 and UO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which
were synthesized without strong binding surface ligands by employing a covalent organic …
