Actinide-specific complexing agents: Their structural and solution chemistry

Actinide-specific Sequestering Agents and Decontamination Applications

Actinide organometallic chemistry.

The stoichiometric and catalytic chemistry of metal-organic compounds having actinide-to-carbon bonds is in a stage of rapid growth. Chemical, structural, and bonding characteristics have been identified which differ in interesting and informative ways from those of d-block transition element compounds.

Actinide-Specific Interfacial Chemistry of Monolayer Coated Mesoporous Ceramics

The role of certain microbial metabolites as specific complexing agents.

The discovery of microbial metabolites—macrotetrolides, siderochromes and boromycin—is reviewed. The structures of these and related compounds provide instructuve examples of how Nature has solved the problem of cornplexing certain rarer elements, such as potassium, iron and boron. The common structural features of these highly specific, natural complexing agents are briefly discussed. It was e...
