The role of the 5f valence orbitals of early actinides in chemical bonding
One of the long standing debates in actinide chemistry is the level of localization and participation of the actinide 5f valence orbitals in covalent bonds across the actinide series. Here we illuminate the role of the 5f valence orbitals of uranium, neptunium and plutonium in chemical bonding using advanced spectroscopies: actinide M4,5 HR-XANES and 3d4f RIXS. Results reveal that the 5f orbita...
متن کاملMolecular cluster theory of chemical bonding in actinide oxides
— The electronic structure of actinide monoxides AcO and dioxides Ac02 , where Ac = Th, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm and Bk has been studied by molecular cluster methods based on the first-principles one-electron local density theory. Molecular orbitals for nearest neighbour clusters Ac06 and AcOs representative of monoxide and dioxide lattices were obtained using non-relativistic spin-restricted and spin...
متن کاملTheoretical insights into covalency driven f element separations.
Through Density Function Theory (DFT) calculations, we set out to understand the structures and stabilities of the aqueous phase complexes [M(III)(DTPA)-H(2)O](2-) (M = Nd, Am) as well as the changes in Gibbs free energy for complexation in the gas phase and aqueous solution. All bonding analyses suggest that the preference of the DTPA(5-) ligand for Am over Nd is mainly due to electrostatic an...
متن کاملEvidence for Halogen Bond Covalency in Acyclic and Interlocked Halogen-Bonding Receptor Anion Recognition
The synthesis and anion binding properties of novel halogen-bonding (XB) bis-iodotriazole-pyridinium-containing acyclic and [2]catenane anion host systems are described. The XB acyclic receptor displays selectivity for acetate over halides with enhanced anion recognition properties compared to the analogous hydrogen-bonding (HB) acyclic receptor. A reversal in halide selectivity is observed in ...
