This chapter reviews the reaction chemistry of uranium complexes with small molecules of
industrial and biological importance. Specifically, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen monoxide …

One of the long standing debates in actinide chemistry is the level of localization and
participation of the actinide 5 f valence orbitals in covalent bonds across the actinide series …

Recent developments in the chemistry of the transuranic elements are surveyed, with
particular emphasis on computational contributions. Examples are drawn from molecular …

Relativistic multireference ab initio wave function calculations within the restricted active
space (RAS) framework were performed to calculate metal and ligand X-ray absorption …

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, coupled with ab initio
calculations, has emerged as the state-of-the-art tool for elucidating the metal-ligand …

The potential energy surfaces for the reactions of H2O with ThO2, PaO2+, UO22+, and
UO2+ have been calculated at the coupled cluster CCSD (T) level extrapolated to the …

We report the gas-phase preparation, isolation, and reactivity of a series of
organolanthanides featuring the Ln–CH3 bond. The complexes are formed by …

Abiotic reduction represents an attractive technology to control U (VI) contamination. In this
work, an abiotic route of U (VI) reduction with humic acid at mineral surfaces is proposed …

The enthalpies of the reactions AnO2+→ AnO++ O and AnO2++ H2O→ AnO2 (H2O)+, and
those of the isomerisation of the latter to AnO (OH) 2+, have been calculated for An= Pa–Pu …

In a prior study [Van Stipdonk; et al. J. Phys. Chem. A 2006, 110, 959− 970], electrospray
ionization (ESI) was used to generate doubly charged complex ions composed of the uranyl …
