Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

For many years, the Heavy Element Chemistry group in Berkeley Lab's Chemical Sciences Division has been dedicated to preparing organometallic compounds of the actinides, because these molecules ...

Prodigious siblings can be annoying. All too often, they steal the spotlight and cast behind them an infuriating shadow of ...

According to a new study, the electronic signature of the actinide element acts differently than lanthanides, which is what scientists previously expected. Understanding the atomic behavior of ...

Organometallic molecules, which consist of a metal ion surrounded by a carbon-based framework, are relatively common for early actinide elements like uranium (atomic number 92), but they are ...

Organometallic molecules, which consist of a metal ion surrounded by a carbon-based framework, are relatively common for early actinide elements like uranium (atomic number 92) but are scarcely known ...

Organometallic compounds—molecules where metal atoms are bonded to carbon—are common in early actinide elements like uranium and thorium. However, they have remained elusive for later ...
