World's first 'naked' uranium-transition metal bond formed

X-ray crystal structure of the uranium-rhenium complex

UK scientists have made 'naked' uranium-transition metal bonds, providing vital evidence that valence orbitals can play a role in actinide bonding.

The molecule, which contains the first structurally characterised unsupported uranium and rhenium bond, was created by Benedict Gardner, a PhD student in Stephen Liddle's research group at Nottingham University.
