The overarching objective of this project is to utilize synthetic chemistry to enhance our understanding of the actinides, a series of elements crucial to the technological aspects of nuclear energy production and its fuel cycle. This comprehension is essential as nuclear power plays a vital role in ensuring the nation's energy security, providing a dependable and resilient energy source essential for our strategic needs. Through synthetic inorganic chemistry, we aim to investigate a range of novel organoactinide complexes, studying their bonding, reactivity in solution, and analyzing their electronic structures. This research will specifically focus on understanding how ligands interact with these elements. Such insights are essential for addressing the 'f-electron challenge,' which underscores the difficulty of current electronic structure methods in accurately describing the behavior of f-electrons.
