There are still surprising gaps in our knowledge about how actinide elements form chemical bonds with other elements. One of the big questions is the extent to which electrons are shared between the ...

Scientists know far less about heavy actinides (elements beyond plutonium) than other elements in the periodic table because ...

The study of metal-element multiple bond interactions is an enormous area of research in chemistry with decades of intensive investigations that have sought to understand chemical bonding, reactivity, ...

Actinium gives its name to a block of fifteen elements that lie between actinium and lawrencium in the periodic table with atomic numbers 89 through 103. These actinides - or actinoides as they are ...

leading to the preparation of a σ-aromatic cluster featuring direct actinide-actinide bonding. Every day is exciting when you’re experimenting at the frontiers of inorganic chemistry, pushing elements ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) staff scientist Gauthier Deblonde has been named a 2024 "Rising Star" by the ...
