Understanding the electronic structure of the actinide series is critical for advancing the nuclear fuel cycle. Here, the authors explore a series of isostructural An(COTbig)2 (An = Th, U, Np, Pu) complexes with clam-shell geometries, where structural and electronic characterization highlights the impact of f-orbital contributions in actinide bonding.
