Actinide acts as electron donor for first time Thorium donates electrons to aluminum in first-of-its-kind complex by Sam Lemonick May 2, 2018 ...

Scientists have achieved the ionization potential measurement of lawrencium (element 103) with a novel-type technique at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Based on the empirically developed "actinide ...

Uranium, belonging to the periodic table´s actinide elements, has long intrigued scientists due to its complex electron configurations.

Actinide-actinide bonds are predicted to be very weak. ... magnetic measurements with quantum chemical calculations and determined that the thorium cluster contains a 3-center 2-electron bond, ...

A heroic effort to characterize the chemistry of actinium, a short-lived radioactive element, reveals surprising differences in behaviour compared with other elements in the actinide series.

Heavy elements known as the actinides are important materials for medicine, energy, and national defense. But even though the first actinides were discovered by scientists at Berkeley Lab more ...
