We’re interested in understanding how covalent or ionic the bonds are between actinides and ligands, and how that changes along the actinide series. It’s one of the most fundamental questions in actinide science. It’s important for a lot of reasons: Covalency is invoked in explaining actinide fate and transport in the environment — how they behave in water or soil, for example — or in trying to build good ligands for them, or in separating them from each other.
