Over the past decade, momentous progress has been made in the characterization of late actinide compounds. Here the authors highlight how advances in spectroscopic and computational tools have developed our understanding of fundamental transplutonium bonding interactions, and discuss whether covalency and heterogeneity changes in 5f-orbital bonding could be harnessed in environmentally and industrially relevant systems.

跨钚配位化学中的开放性问题

在过去十年中，晚期锕系化合物的表征取得了重大进展。在这里，作者重点介绍了光谱学和计算工具的进步如何加深了我们对基本跨钚键合相互作用的理解，并讨论了 5f 轨道键合中的共价性和异质性变化是否可以在环境和工业相关系统中加以利用。在过去十年中，晚期锕系化合物的表征取得了重大进展。在这里，作者重点介绍了光谱学和计算工具的进步如何加深了我们对基本跨钚键合相互作用的理解，并讨论了 5f 轨道键合中的共价性和异质性变化是否可以在环境和工业相关系统中加以利用。
